Awesome work guys! Interactive content will be the new norm for e-learning. Have you thought of giving the app to kids or teachers in the classrooms? And for creators now they can see which parts of their how-to's people struggle with the most so they can make their content better!
Best of luck!

@yassinelanda Hi Yassine 👋 The potential use case of kids and teachers is 100% on our radar! We've also been looking at charities who want to share valuable safety or awareness information 🔥Thanks for the support!
Really interesting idea. How do the cards perform with SEO? Do you want to position yourself as a tool for other companies to use on their own site? Or as a platform like instructables.com
@sab8a Hi Sabba! 👋 We use the text description in each story as keywords for SEO and see ourselves more as a platform like an "instant instructables" where people can find answers immediately.
Love it. We should probably put one for millions of Sweatcoin users while we are it :)
Looks like it tackles that issue of watching a 'how to' video and having to rewind and rewatch the important bits, so I can see how useful this will be. Look forward to the Android version!
@stu_waterman Spot on 🔥If you want you can follow us on our channels we'll let you know when the Android version drops! 😊 💣
@srameshrr Hi Siddharth! Thanks for a great question 👌 There are a lot of differences but here are the main ones in terms of technical features….
For starters, Tick stories are made to be searchable in-app like a ‘how to’ library, whereas Insta stories aren’t searchable and much harder to stumble across.
Second, our videos are discoverable in Google search, so if someone searches “How to poach an egg” a story made on our platform could show up as an answer.
Lastly our videos can be opened in-app or in any web browser 🔥so you can share a Tick story with people who don’t have the app (yet) 😉
As a content creator and I’ve been using Tick for the past month as one of the early testers. Love the trimming and slow motion/speed up features (very advanced for an app this early in development). Huge potential in this as a story format and tool for a lot of creators and people who love to share their craft. They’ve got a small community at the moment but this will grow over time.
Pros:Really nifty creator tool!
Cons:Currently homes a small (but potentially awesome) community.
@dylan_hey Hey Dylan! Can be anything really!
Cooking, DIY, sports, travel and Life Hacks are amongst are most common stories at this moment 👍
Looks like a valuable tool for creators who want to get more out of their short-form content than just ephemeral stories. Love that the content can be indexed 🙌
@lachlankirkwood Thanks Lachlan! Completely agree, we definitely want to make sure all the great stories people create are preserved and more people can benefit from them 🤙
@stapho_thienpont Hi Stapho! We’re super proud of our diverse tool, so we believe there are loads of use cases we think can work….
Creators sharing their craft because they love teaching.
Creatives showing off their work.
Businesses displaying how their products work.
Businesses showing how they deliver certain services.
Charities sharing awareness how-to’s
Then viewers simply searching or being interested in the topics shared
To be honest, we’re at this stage where the user can use our platform for what they want, we just want to build the stage from which creators of how-to story content can shine from 🌟
Cool concept, congrats on the work so far!
I like the design, super clean and easy to sign up. Search is very useful.
Videos were a bit slow to load but I'm sure you guys will do your best as you grow.
Is there are particular category/vertical you're going to push more?
Given it's a learning based platform are you going to do anything to manage quality control?
@latifbaluch1 Hi Latif, Thanks for the feedback! 🙌 Video loading time is something we're working on, we've overcome initial memory problems to get to this point, but we're looking to take it that one step further toward being super a slick app 🚀
In terms of categories we want to push DIY, (informational) travel, cooking and all round education 🛠 So if you have even a basic skillset in any of those, your Tick stories will be more than welcome!
Quality control will be managed through: A clear set of community guidelines, a reporting system that will allow users to flag inappropriate content (that breaks said guidelines) for moderation. With the UpTick and DownTick system the community can manage quality themselves by awarding credibility to useful Tick stories. We have a community team at this moment that is able to keep tabs on all the content currently, but as we scale we will adjust to manage our content bank more efficiently 😊
@whiletrueeat Hi Mat, currently we are only available on iOS but we're currently working on the android. If you sign up to our newsletter on www.tick.co we'll make sure to let you know once we drop the android 🛠
Hello ProductHunters! 👋
Franz here from Tick.Done! We’re super stoked to be here 🙀
Over the past year, we have been secretly building our micro-video platform which enables you to perform plenty of tasks and new skills in less than a minute 💡
We call it "just-in-time learnings" but "Snapchat meets How-To videos" is also catchy.
Our team believes that the current state of online video no longer matches its purpose ❌ Too many platforms are designed to keep you on their as long as possible, with smart algorithms sending you down rabbit holes of content (with no intention of empowering them to implement what they’re learning in real life)
At Tick. Done, we’re on a mission to empower a billion people to do a million new things. It’s the internet squeezed out for all its good stuff.
With our How-To Story Creator tool, you can easily record and edit stories on the go which are then searchable in Google and can be viewed even without the app, helping others around the world 🌍 This is our first major release from the platform and as always it's in constant beta, but we are super excited to see it fly!
Have a look, share something your great at and let us know what you think! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks
Franz 😎
Thank you so much for your ongoing support and feedback everybody, what a launch! 🎉🎉🎉
Happy to see the first major release from our platform is so well received, there are many more to come as we push to achieve our mission of enabling a billion people to do a million new things! 🔥
Best,
Franz and the entire team at Tick. Done.
@franz_schrepf any future plans of integration between Instagram stories? Exporting the videos as individual clips to share how-tos on Instagram?
@ryan_wenk Hi Ryan! Exporting videos as individual clips for use on other platforms is definitely on our roadmap. Instagram unfortunately doesn't allow direct publishing to stories yet but we hope it'll get there soon so we can share more how-tos
@karlmartybalingit Hey Karl 👋 Not yet, unfortunately! We have been building one alongside this version and it should be ready soon 🔥
@christiansallen Yes! You can import anything from the camera roll. So you can dig out any old footage if you wanted too 👊
Having tutorials, and, even other story-based content (seen a few travel slides on there and life hacks on there) just makes sense. Looks great on screen. Perfect 5/7
Pros:Intuitive interface and great formatting of content, I love it
Cons:The Thumbs up feature is okay, but there’s no commenting on videos which is a shame.
Thanks for the review! Really appreciate the feedback 🙏🏻
We're deffo looking into commenting and direct messages as a means to communicate with other Tick creators!
Great concept. Will be sharing a few skills of my own on this. Love how it’s a step by step so I don’t have to rewind videos or like Instagram where I have to watch from the beginning again.
@kim_richardson Thanks Kim 😁 Precisely! We look forward to seeing your skills 🔥
@saijogeorge Yes! With a little bit of healthy social media behaviours thrown in 😆
