@jonurbonas Thanks! The community aspect is central for LAMA. The cool thing is that you can also ask questions to the interviewee afterwards ✌️

Really do want to like this product. UI UX is great. Their growth tactics are on point. But the app is very sluggish on Android. I attempted to record a video, on upload it crashed. Most users would give up on that experience. Will give it another go.

Pros:

Idea, Design, Communication, supporting the community with a free content product ❤️

Cons:

None

Fantastic product and execution. My discovery of LAMA happened some months ago when talking with a friend about why there was not a video-based Q&A platform, just a few days after I got to know a member of the team. I've seen the team improving the product over time and pouring all their efforts to make it great; I'm sure LAMA will go far
Alexander Schwarz
@angelosorbello1 Thanks ✌️means a lot to us
Mario Arabov
@angelosorbello1 Than you for your support and advices Angelo. Glad to have you on board. 🙏

As a founder, I find any platform that allows you to connect to others that are part of a very niche group to be beneficial and welcomed, so thank you for that. I am curious as to how you plan to generate revenue with this platform. It seems very much like the video platform that LinkedIn should be providing so please share your long-term goals for your company.

Cons:

None
