Hey Hunters, We are excited to bring you Bubbles, solving the pain of trying to show what you're talking about! Even before COVID, we saw how hard it could be for remote teams to collaborate. Now of course, we’ve all been forced to rapidly adapt and adjust our way of working, and the need for even better collaboration tools has become extremely apparent. That’s why we built Bubbles. Our goal is to help people and teams communicate and collaborate as if they are in the same room. We are taking the screen sharing experience to the next level, so that collaboration doesn’t get in the way of doing great work. With Bubbles you can quickly start a conversation with anyone, by dropping a comment on anything you see on your screen, and sharing a private link to start a conversation – in the context of what you see. Some highlights about Bubbles: 1. Capture a screen recording or screenshot of whatever's on your screen 2. Drop text or audio comments at the right place and time 3. Share a unique secret link with your teammates (no sign on required) 4. Highlight important points in your recording 5. Close out issues asynchronously Our team is distributed globally and we are building Bubbles to make collaboration delightful, we hope you enjoy it and would love your feedback. Thanks @jmj for hunting us!

@jmj @tom4 does the collaborator need the chrome extension also?
Tom Medema
@iamroguelondon they don't need to install anything :)

@jmj @tom4 This is awesome! Congratulations! This will make remote working and meetings more interesting. Thank you Team Bubble

Bubbles is taking asynchronous collaboration to the next level. Being able to share anything on screen and collaborate with anyone has been a game changer. I'm thrilled to support @tom4 and team on this great product!

I've been using Bubbles over the last 4 months, giving UX feedback to products on here, across design communities, and within design projects with clients. I have to say, Bubbles is one of the easiest tools to share designs, and receive feedback straight from project stakeholders. I've saved countless of hours not having to send emails back and forth responding to feedback comments, solving them straight through a Bubble post. Highly recommend using this tool for the next project you have to give/receive feedback from. Wishing the best of success to the Bubbles team!! @tom4 @shaungards @barbragago
Shaun Gardner
Thanks, @christian_piponides :) As a designer myself i know how much time Bubbles can save for feedback loops.
Christian Piponides
@christian_piponides @shaungards Awesome! Some of my favourite Bubble posts so far 1, 2, 3 :)

This is sweet! I would really like a desktop app tho! like loom
Tom Medema
@aydaoz certainly! We think a desktop app will be really cool. Stay tuned! 🔥
Matthew Rastovac
I've been wondering when a full-web annotation tool was gonna pop up. Love to see this and excited to try it out!
Tom Medema
Thanks so much @matthew_rastovac! Let us know if you've got feedback! Besides annotating the web, we also allow you to comment outside of your browser using both text and voice, and for others to respond to highlights within your recordings. :)

We are an agency with internal product. We are using this for many projects and we are very happy: a very lightweight and convenient tool, that we chose after trying many alternative. It feels that Bubbles is made with great love and care. Great job, Bubbles !
Tom Medema
@igor_gassko thanks so much for sharing :) It's great to see agencies use Bubbles to build better products!
Igor Gassko
@tom4 what would be really useful for us is annotations by means of drawing and highlighting, rather than just adding comments. An ability to hide parts of the image would be important as well. And lastly, you guys have a good case for making the product viral: as an agency, we offer our customers to provide feedback on visual issues by means of bubble.
Shaun Gardner
@igor_gassko thanks for the feedback and ideas :) We definitely have a few of these features in our future road and some more to consider. Will keep you posted

Bubbles is one of the coolest products I've come across in recent times. The simplicity of the product shines out the very first time you use it. Yes - it is as simple as - Click, Comment, Share. No Sign-ups required (of course, future enhancements and feature additions to the product would probably require sign-ups, to add more value like Team/group based collaboration, notifications etc etc. but that's for later). I would recommend anyone who comes across Bubbles, take it for a spin. I have been wonderfully thrilled to see this product come along from it's early days - it has come a long way, and I truly believe, this is just the beginning. Watch out for this product, it's only going to Bubble up to the top. All the very best to the team @tom4 @shaungards @barbragago !!
Tom Medema
Thanks for the support @kashif_shamaz :)
Ruud Visser
I have been using Bubbles with my team for many different things: ideas on our marketing website, bugs in our product, etc. It's simply the easiest way to collaborate on basically anything, no more need to paste images and text into a Google doc. Congrats on the launch @tom4 !
Tom Medema
Great to see Bubbles helping you build amazing products @ruud_visser! 🔥
Sandeep Talukdar
I <3 Bubbles. Everything you can do with it is so powerful, simple and effective. My workflow for making copy changes and design improvements on landing pages, illustrations and designs will never be the same again. So easy to share, collaborate and get things done on my end. Working with developers is seamless for both us marketers and the techies. Awesome stuff. Look forward to seeing this product grow. Cheers to the makers and the team behind Bubbles!
Tom Medema
This is what keeps us going, thank you @sandeeptalukdar and we're proud to have an incredible community with awesome people like you!
Rick Lamers
Bubbles is one of those products that makes you go "how did people do this before?". Congrats on the team and I'm looking forward to continue using it to improve the things I build.
Tom Medema
@rick_lamers ha, that's exactly the response we were hoping for! Please keep using it and let us know if you've got any feedback! 🤘
Vedika Jain
@rrhoover and I use Bubbles* at Weekend Fund: internally and externally to give feedback on websites, app flows and more. It's the best way we've found to give feedback in context: none of that take a screenshot, share in slack, start a 234324 long comment thread. Just show what you mean. There's no going back once you start using Bubbles. *Weekend Fund is an investor and a fan
Tom Medema
Thanks @vedika_jain @rrhoover -- it's been a blast working with weekend fund 😊
GalloDaSballo
Very surprised and happy to see Bubbles on PH today! From my experience seeing bubbles evolve and the amount of work Tom has put into it, I'm confident this is the best product for collaboration on the market. Give it a try and see for yourself! Props to Tom and Team!
Tom Medema
@gallodasballo thanks so much! This is what keeps us going! :)
Andy Dent
Show a video of a collaboration in action to make this a lot more credible. It sounds good but those screenshots could have easily been cooked up in an editor. There are many people putting out just landing page experiments and fake screens so it's important to show your app in action to prove it's real.
Christian Piponides
@andydentperth1 It's legit. Check out an example here of a Bubble post in action 🤙
Catherine Fontaine
Love this product. Actually quite intuitive and it makes it so easy to provide feedback and receive feedback. Additionally, I find the screen record and the ability to select a portion of the recording for comment absolutely fantastic to introduce ideas, provide feedback on draft or prod versions of projects. Looking forward to what you'll come up with next ! Best of luck.
Tom Medema
Thanks so much for the kind words @catherine_fontaine :) We put in a lot of effort to make the experience as intuitive as possible so we're super excited to see this being received well!
Shivhari Shankar
I really like bubbles and have been using it for a while now. However, I would love if the screenshots I took in bubbles were exportable as an image .. has a wide variety of use cases that would make bubbles even more useful.
Tom Medema
@shivharishankar that's super interesting. Will discuss this internally and see if we can introduce exports! 🔥
Shivhari Shankar
@shivharishankar @tom4 Omg yes .. please do this and I can assure you that you have a customer who will be completely sold on your product. There are literally no reliable scroll and capture screenshot tools out there.
Ratan Mehta
I came across bubbles a few weeks ago and I already recommended it to a bunch of my friends who are designers and front end engineers. I think its super well made!
Shaun Gardner
@ratan_mehta thanks for the support it really means a lot :)
Vineeth Patil
Found you guys via Startup School Forum! Congrats on such an amazing launch - would love to get your tips as we're looking to launch soon! Thanks
Tom Medema
Great to hear from another founder @vineeth_patil! Send us a note at hello@usebubbles.com and we can definitely share our experiences!
Vineeth Patil
@usebubbles @tom4 absolutely! Will drop in a note, thanks!
Alex Papageorge
I really like this. At first I thought it was similar to Loom but the comment w/ click feature, I enjoy.
Shaun Gardner
@alex_papageorge That's great to hear :) we just getting started
Suzanne Noble
Great idea, especially relevant at the moment with so many of us working remotely.
Ramiro Saenz
First, congratulations on the launch! I discovered Bubbles a few weeks ago because we used Loom before and because of their new limitations on the Free plan, we had to find another replacement... and Bubbles was the candidate. Great UI and UX, easy to use, but the only two main features we need are: - Up to 15 minutes of recording at least. - Password protection. The password protection is a must for us because we are devs and in a lot of videos we share between us, they may contain API keys, tokens, etc. Do you have plans to provide password protection?
Shaun Gardner
@saenzramiro first off thanks for the support! With regards to your questions, these are items we have planned out in our future road map and is just a matter of when and how we release them. But I would love to learn more about how you guys are using bubbles at rambox. I have sent you a DM on Twitter :)
