Getting ready for launch the next Friday 😱 If you could only use one of these to promote your product, which would it be?

I just saw an interactive demo of Tidyread (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) made with Arcade and I quite like it. They also have a nice video as well but I like their style. So I think, keep both of them!

@lakshya_singh Asking cause I feel that people have very low motivation to go deep on your prod So I guess they will check out only 1 thing Example is cool thanks

@kostyabolsh Indeed. In fact its rare for me too to check out the videos. However, if I have to, I would prefer Arcade over a loom video.

I’ve been thinking about this too. It feels like explainer videos are starting to take over from interactive demos in the tech/B2B space, and the poll seems to back that up. Lately, I’ve been leaning toward explainer videos myself too as I tend to get impatient clicking through a set interactive sequence... That said, I’d still love to see an "interactive demo" where you can freely click around and explore the UI, almost like a trial account with a dummy setup. That would make the experience more impactful. And I agree Arcade is super intuitive for interactive demos and probably my favorite for them.
