Guys, there was an issue while playing the video, I've fixed it now. You can try it out.

Also, I am seeking to connect with 3-4 people and get their feedback on how can I solve this problem better. If you're interested, you can email me on: [email protected]


Thanks a lot. Do let me know your feedback of the tool.


The traffic was huge (I was positively surprised), so there were some issues in the API. It's fixed now, do try it out.

Let me check the `Remember Me` button.


Thanks for your detailed feedback.

1. Yes, I'll be building a landing page to better place the problem we are trying to solve. 2. What do you suggest for this point? 3. I've received multiple feedbacks asking for a login-free access, so I am thinking around it. 4. Yes, for sure it's in my todo-list.

Understood your point about explanation.


I’m going to make some assumptions… I expect the account is for history, could you store that in a cookie initially, or local storage, and then invite people to create an account to carry history across different machines after they have watched some content maybe?


Honestly speaking, I did not expect this level of traffic on the site, there was a slowdown in the mail sending service, it is fixed now, please try again.


Looks like it might still be struggling with the HN hug. I tried it, I gave it three easy topics to use, it understood them and tried to produce the web page, but it still says “Videos: 0” for all three groups.

You can still get your fix in quick enough to benefit from some of this traffic spike, go for it! Good luck.


Still says “Videos: 0” for all three of my topics.


I am realizing this now, even when I am trying out a new project, I would love to see how it works before signing up and verifying my email address.

Thanks for your feedback, will work on to allow login-free access for demo.


I don't even know what it is based on the first impression. If you're trying to be the alternative to X, a comparison of "how this works" might be enough to get me to give you an email - though signing in to use it immediately feels like YT, not an alternative. Your "Why Choose FocusStream?" points are all over the place and unlikely to resonate equally with your audience. I'd suggest attacking the competition with the one major differentiator and then showing how that works.Example "See video lengths upfront, track your progress, and make every minute count." is not nearly as compelling as "No ads, no autoplay" IMO. Finally, I find this contradictory: "no algorithmic rabbit holes... Tell us your interests. We find the highest-quality videos from across the web" - I suspect what you're trying to provide is curation focused on helping me learn about specific topics vs. serving up what will keep me engaged and watching longer. If that's accurate something like "algorithmic recommendations that REDUCE how much time you spend on our site" would be a unique value prop.
