That sounds like it would be a good niche to pivot into. Eventually you'll have to charge, so differentiating yourself here would be key.
Also, make sure you are aware of which 'channel' you are receiving your feedback from, and skewing your bias to account when deciding a roadmap. I see alot of comments saying self-hosted, which would be a bad use of development time at this stage. Obviously lock down encryption, and create a video-library similiar to loom but have that all hosted through the app.
how i could see a potential differentiation with this tool/ what i'd be interested in.
Consulting tool pivot: A tool to eliminate meetings
I own a consultanting company and i am always onboarding freelancers to certain tasks that i need them to do. Sometimes it's the same tasks that will be repeated, so they can always use the videos as a tool to 'refresh' themselves when they get stuck. It's like a video SOP, so what would be cool is if you used AI to create an 'SOP' from the video. Like links i clicked, folders and documents i interacted with and their location, etc. etc. This would be an invaluable tool for me at my company as every time i have a task that i need to delegate, i just create a loom video and then link all those things in an email which takes a long time.
For my clients it's the same exact thing, but showing them whats been done or answering any questions they have sent via email.
Youtube pivot:
Make a software for creators. Where they can record these videos for tutorials, with some kind of auto edditing features such as including intro's, outros.
Let's hop on a call and discuss (JK, saw the youtube video haha)
