This is a cool way to discover stories around what I'm interested in.
I've been using the beta for a while and it's great :-)
Congrats to the Snappd team!
Congrats Russell and Creeshla for launching Snappd!
Russell and I had a few quick discussions a while back about the concept for Snappd and what he wanted to build and I'm really impressed with his work so far.
Love the new design - great job!
Hey Product Hunt!
We are very excited to launch Snappd on Product Hunt today π
Around this time last year stories on Snapchat started to really take on a whole new level with lots of creators taking time to make quality stories, shows & takeovers. These stories would then either be lost or squished into a platform like YouTube where it really does not fit in. Enter Snappd feel free to read more of the story on medium https://medium.com/@russellbarna...
Android users we π you too, please see the waiting list on the website for now.
There are some amazing stories on the app already feel free to check them out and we are looking forward to your feedback and will be here all day to answer any questions you have!
@krishnade Thank you π The app has changed a lot since you would have seen at beta stage π
Wow, this looks super polished. Congrats on the launch Creeshla & Russell π
My first thought is, can you post your Snappd stories to Snapchat/Instagram? Is it the same 10 second format? Or is it the other way round, where Snappd takes your Snapchat/Instagram stories and imports them into Snappd?
In an ideal case, you'd be able to create the story once, and it automatically syndicate out to the other two of the three (Snappd/Snapchat/Instagram).
@fredrivett Awesome thanks really appreciate it! :D
At the moment Snappd is ideal for Snapchat / Instagram creators to upload their best stories so they are not lost after 24 hours. - We are always looking for more sustainable ways to automate this process but at the moment stories can either be uploaded to the app from camera roll or shared to Snappd via Snapchat memories.
So whilst you cannot create stories directly on Snappd (at the moment) you can upload and redistribute your stories so that you can have a catalog of your past content, which can then easily be shared across social media.
@russellbarnard Gotcha, that process makes sense. I definitely think it would take it up a whole 'nuther level if you could get automation going there, and syndication too. Trust you'll do so as soon as you're able to find a way, as you say.
I'm not using Snapchat/Instagram stories much right now, but will keep this in mind as I might start doing so more. Hope launch day goes well π
@fredrivett Absolutely automation looks slightly more possible for Instagram rather than Snapchat at the moment but always looking into whatβs possible :)
Iβd definitely recommend it & with Snappd it makes it that bit easier to keep all of your content and have a place your viewers can reference back to if they ever miss a story.
Thanks again :)
Congrats! The idea is super cool! However, in the video screen, there are exactly the same "i" buttons at the bottom of the page. I guess one of them should be the "like" button or something.
@kantarci Hey man thanks for the heads up, have not seen this happen before. Could you drop me an email with a screenshot and the type of iPhone you are using to russell@snappd.tv and i'll look into it π
@coconidodev @kantarci Cheers, got this fixed now. It will be included in the next update out this week π
@russellbarnard-- very cool concept! do i have to create the stories here or can they be curated from my YouTube?
@ashish_aggarwal Hey you can create the stories as you normally would on Snapchat or Instagram (or even a Periscope stream / Instagram live) and they can then be uploaded from camera roll directly within the app or shared to Snappd via Snapchat memories. - As long as the video is vertical it can be uploaded π
@dailius_j yes we do have an android version planned, you can sign up to our android waiting list via the website to be notified when it's ready.
