If any engineering managers are thinking of making a change to a more hands-on role, I can tell you right now it’s a blend of “just look at how empty my calendar is” and “damn it, I used to have people for this”

Here's a graph of how Explain has grown since we launched it 👇
Almost 200,000 explainer videos created in September alone 🤯
I know people say this all the time: but I truly did NOT belive it would grow this fast.
Feeling privileged to be able work on a product that so many people enjoy.
Thank you to everyone using it 🙏

Our newest feature, Scrimba Explain, is currently competing on Product Hunt! 🚀
Explain generates a narrated video tutorial about anything you ask, instantly. You can:
⬆️ Upload files
➕ Add links
👯♀️ Paste code
⌨️ Type in whatever you’re trying to understand
It's MUCH faster than any of the video generation models, as we utilise our DOM-based playback technology.
The video explainer can include:
🖼️ Images
💻 Code walkthroughs
🎥 Animations
📈 Diagrams and other visual aids
💬 Voiceover
🔤 Captions
🔺 Cursor
It feels more like YouTube than traditional chatbot UX!
We'd love your honest feedback on the product, how you've been using it and what we should build next.

@KitemakerHQ is the only tool that actually does this.
postgres.new is insanely fun to play with. Can't wait to find an excuse to use it for something real. Amazing work by @kiwicopple's team over at @supabase!

TFW you are a PM and your teams just switched over to @KitemakerHQ ❤️
Who's building commercial open source products where the main focus is on self-hosting (or desktop apps)?
Feels like the hot companies in commercial open source (PostHog, Supabase, etc.) are all mainly focused on their hosted offerings.
