Hi Product Hunters! It might seem strange to have a webapp for counting words/characters since this feature is built into most word processors, but actually there are lots of tools (especially online ones) that don't offer word counting as a feature. I wanted to make the interface as simple as possible. In the near future I plan to add more statistics like reading time, speaking time, and so...

I made Screen Recorded because I wanted a screen recorder tool that could be easily used from a web browser without any sign-up or watermarking. All the recording & processing is done entirely in your browser. For the initial release the functionality is very simple. It can record windows or browser tabs.

Going ahead and trying to read a book straight away would be overwhelming, though. So I created...

Hi Product Hunters! I would love to hear your feedback on Batch Compress. I'll respond to comments as soon as I see them. :)

Batch Watermark is a spin-off from Bulk Resize Photos (BulkResizePhotos.com), which previously had a very basic watermarking feature. It became apparent that the watermarking in Bulk Resize Photos wasn't meeting the needs of most users who were interested in watermarking their photos. I surveyed users about why they wanted to watermark their photos, as well as what functionality they were...

It's a shame that Facebook are limiting this to particular countries. I think it could be appreciated everywhere. The design of it reminds me a bit of Facebook's earlier days.
