A Month of Enhanced Stability and Performance
This October, our focus has been on refining platform stability while listening closely to customer feedback. Here’s everything we shipped, from new enhancements to resolved bugs, all aimed at ensuring the best user experience.
Feature update:
Play and Pause While Recording
Now you can pause your demo recording anytime to rethink your flow or make adjustments within the feature. Resume seamlessly without starting over, saving time and reducing the need for multiple takes. Effortless and efficient demo creation, right at your fingertips!
Video Export Alignment
Misalignment issues in text walkthroughs for video exports have been addressed. Now, text appears correctly, providing a smooth playback experience for viewers.
Custom OG Images for Demos
Every demo now includes its own OG image, adding visual appeal and improving engagement across social media when sharing demos.
You can now create and embed interactive demos using Layerpath directly into your Product Hunt launches! This new feature allows you to showcase your product’s value in a more engaging, immersive, and realistic way during the critical launch phase.
An Interesting Fix: A user encountered an issue while starting a recording on an empty tab, leading to an empty demo with just the browser tab visible. Our team analyzed and resolved it. Here’s a brief video showing the error and the fix.
A recent user story highlights how they transformed their user education approach with Layerpath’s Playlists. Their challenge was educating users on a complex array of features, often leading to scattered email communications and loss of context. Our Playlists feature addressed this by enabling them to group feature demos into a single, streamlined playlist, creating a cohesive learning experience. This saved their team time, improved user engagement, and empowered customers to explore features at their own pace—all from one accessible link.
Best Practices of the Month
Playlist Tips for Better Organization
Organizing content effectively can significantly boost user learning and engagement. When creating playlists, consider grouping features or demos that serve similar purposes, such as onboarding or specific workflows, into cohesive collections. This enables users to dive into related content without the need to switch between scattered resources. By sharing one organized playlist link, users can progress at their own pace, revisit content when needed, and enjoy a more intuitive learning journey.
Tip of the Month
Make your demos more accessible and engaging by embedding them directly on your website or landing pages. This approach provides potential users with interactive insights right from the start, allowing them to explore and experience your product without the need to sign up first.
