Hey there! 👋 We're thrilled to introduce ScreenSpace to the Product Hunt world! And offer a little surprise for the maker community. But before we get into that... A little bit about us. We're ScreenSpace co-founders Darren & Adam (a.k.a. the "Fanton Twins") From Super Bowl Ads to App of the Year – we spent 20 years telling stories through video. Stories that inspire, motivate, and capture the hearts of millions through compelling narratives. Storytelling is in our DNA. And it's our passion to help others achieve the same. But when it comes to engaging and motivating buyers – it's a whole different story. A little bit about the buying audience. Let's be honest – Buying SaaS sucks. It's an overwhelming, long and complex journey. Not only are your buyers looking to better understand their own problem – they're trying to make sense of a bunch of complex products that all look the same. So when they first discover a solution – they're already skeptical, confused, and distracted. This challenge is what inspired us to build ScreenSpace. A new approach. ScreenSpace lets you turn content – videos, case studies, value props, pitch decks, product flows – into stunning interactive Stories that naturally guide your audience through a compelling narrative. We've built years of experience in storytelling and visual design right into the ScreenSpace platform. So your buyers get to choose their own adventure to value – without getting distracted or overwhelmed. And you can drive deeper engagement, brand authority, and conversions. About That Surprise → We Partnered with Product Hunt! 😺 We partnered with our friends at Product Hunt to allow makers to embed ScreenSpace Stories right inside their launch pages starting Nov 1st. For Free! – Thanks to the incredible Product Hunt team for sharing our vision and enabling us to help makers and startups share their story with the world: @laura_mesa @jamie_sprowl @ahiggz @katie_talwar @rajiv_ayyangar @rajkumar_balakrishnan @devladinci @lanre_akinyemi @sarah_wright7 @clara_eloy @rrhoover This is where our story begins...

I’ve launched many products on Product Hunt, and one of the most important aspects of a launch is telling the product story and giving the viewer a sense of what the product feels like. Screenshots are helpful; explainer videos are great but can be costly and time-consuming to produce. I really like ScreenSpace’s approach to creating interactive stories – letting the viewer skip right to the product highlights to understand the its value. We're excited to give makers the option of telling their product story on Product Hunt with ScreenSpace. I can’t wait to see ScreenSpace demos on upcoming launches! Try it out (starting November 1) and please let us know what you think!
Adam Fanton
Hey everyone! I'm that twin brother Darren mentioned above. I'm excited to present our new approach to interactive product storytelling to you all, and to make this available here on Product Hunt! Our hope is to help each and every one of you tell your stories and connect with your buyers and other makers in a fun and engaging way. We would love to hear your thoughts! Please comment, ask questions, create your own stories, click around and enjoy. We're excited to see what you create and share on Product Hunt!
Paweł Tomaszewski
This is the best way of showing product I have ever seen on product hunt. This interactive demo is mind blowing 🤯
Adam Fanton
@pawel_tomaszewski Thanks Pawel! I appreciate your kind remarks. We can't wait to see how you all tell your stories with it! We have many other live interactive stories on our website that show a lot more of ScreenSpace's capabilities. Come check them out!
Bohdan Hernandez Navia
It looks great. Congrats! Can't wait to use it for the next launch of my product Shopminders
Darren Fanton
@boherna Fantastic! Can't wait to see what you come up with. When should we be looking out for your launch?
Jamie Sprowl
Congrats @dfanton and Adam Fanton! Seriously the most impressive product I’ve seen for product demos and incredibly user friendly. A huge value to people launching on PH to get to use this for free! Thanks for caring so much about the community.
Darren Fanton
@jamie_sprowl Thanks so much Jamie! Can't wait to see what everyone dreams up!
Rami
damn, looks real good!
Darren Fanton
@kingromstar Thanks, Rami!

> We partnered with our friends at Product Hunt to allow makers to embed ScreenSpace Stories right inside their launch pages starting Nov 1st. For Free! What! Super cool, first time I've seen this. Congrats on the launch and more importantly on the partnership!
Darren Fanton
@esus Thanks Esus. It's been a dream of mine since we launched our first product 5yrs ago. Incredible team who really care about their community.
Nate Nasralla
We LOVE ScreenSpace over here. Our entire "how it works" page on our website is dedicated to ScreenSpace tour, and customers / prospects always share how much they love the experience — we built it around a "James Bond" theme to have some fun with it, and Darren and team really brought it to life. We're also using ScreenSpace in our email campaigns, social posts, and love to send direct links to part of our story in follow-up emails post demo to showoff targeted pieces of the product. Stoked to see the PH partnership today too!
Darren Fanton
@nate_nasralla Your MI6-themed Story is 🔥 We are always using it for inspiration.
Aidan Hornsby
Awesome to see this launch and partnership! What a powerful creative tool for all teams and makers ✨
Darren Fanton
@aidanhornsby Appreciate the comment, Aidan! To think – when you and I met on PH 5yrs ago, we were launching the first agency-quality video platform for makers. Another big day for makers!
Sarah Wright
Can't wait to see interactive Stories on more Product Hunt launches! As a marketer and content creator, I know it can be so hard to tell your product's story when there's so much to cover. I see this every day when I scroll the PH homepage. Hope to see makers try this out!
Darren Fanton
100%, @sarah_wright7 ! That's where ScreenSpace shines. Taking complex products and making them bite-sized and digestible.

@servelogy_technologies Thanks, Toshit! I see you've got an upcoming launch as well! Best of luck.
Derek Osgood
Congrats on the launch @dfanton! Love the product (it's been a core part of our storytelling for Ignition for months). Darren and his team are A++ storytellers and it really comes through in the product. Plus, they're absurdly helpful and amazing humans who will go the extra mile to make sure your story is really shining. So excited to be able to use ScreenSpace to show off our products on Product Hunt now too, it's such an impactful and compelling way to create product narratives (and way easier/better to use than most demo tools out there).
Darren Fanton
@ozbad03 Likewise, Derek! Starting with a beautiful product like Ignition and a visionary like yourself – makes it look easy.
Eric R. Burgess
Perfect timing for me launching a new venture...checking this cool tool out today!
Darren Fanton
@erburgess Congrats on the new venture, Eric! Would love to learn more about it. Better yet – toss it in a ScreenSpace Story and shoot me a link. :)
Dan Brazil
This is going to define a whole new category of how ABM and GTM outbound sales teams personalise the customer journey. A beautifully crafted and immersive experience awaits you!
Darren Fanton
@dan_brazil So excited for the opportunity to work with you, Dan! In this case, 15gifts is going to make ScreenSpace shine!
Laramie Cummings
This sounds so cool! I might have to pitch this to the team about using it on BluBinder.
Darren Fanton
@laramie_cummings Thanks! Let me know if I can help! BTW - love the tag line "Be the hero for your customers." I've got an interactive guide coming out soon that's all about this...
Ophir Prusak
Looks cool, but why is it so much more expensive than something like https://www.arcade.software/ which provides 90% of the functionality for 10% of the price?
Shane Carlson
This is brilliant! Congrats on the launch. Can you speak more about the Figma integration? What is possible?
Darren Fanton
@s_carlson Absolutely! My favorite part about the Figma integration is that you can embed clickable prototypes inside ScreenSpace. Great way to visualize unreleased products/designs. Did you have an idea in mind?
Joshua Norris
It's real. It's beautiful. And it's finally HERE. I've used ScreenSpace at 2 different companies. They're great people, building a great product. I normally don't like product tour solutions - but ScreenSpace is way more than a product tour. It's like...if you crossed a product tour with a choose-your-own-adventure video game. I'm so excited for them!
Irsa Doham
Screenspace Immersive Product Stories is a unique approach to product storytelling. How does it enhance the customer experience? Congrats on the launch!
Gleb Shalimov
That's great! This is the first such interaction with PH in my memory. This will make it much easier to share updates with an audience of subscribers. Congratulations on the launch!

$300/month for one story.. funny.....
Erik Willemse
Indeed, and actually not funny at all... I do hope that they have added an extra zero at the end of their monthly prices accidentally. The tool is great, but at these prices, I have my doubts about getting a decent installed base and turning this into a success. And then there are people who think Office 365 or Adobe Creative Suite is expensive. I would expect something like what Canva is charging for a Canva Pro. Or the plans of Figma?
