But! Although there might be not much else to tell me about your cool tool, can you show us more about it? How it works, what it does and so on? Maybe a little movie showing it working!
One little nitpick: Your webpage has the charm of a Powerpoint presentation with all that stuff flying in! It isn't that bad, but it really reminds me on one! :D
Yes, it's deliberately simple from a workflow point of view, ie. choose file->remove background->set background color (optional)->save file.
The real value proposition is that it brings the same AI that similar online services provide to the desktop with a once-off perpetual license.
A video walkthrough of it being used is definitely a good idea as you mentioned. And yes it fits in the tool category - easy, single purpose, and simple.
Thanks for the critique of the website UI. We definitely don't want to conjure up PowerPoint from the 90's!
Much appreciated!
By the way, what do you think about trying to sell an app under a personal brand rather than a product website or company name?
Actually if it is some software providing value, i wouldn't mind getting it regardless who is selling it.
Of course a company name in the background looks more serious, but to be honest, i've bought lots of apps for my Android phone which are getting sold under some company name, but just having a single developer behind them (at least i suppose).
I personally would like to see more developers rolling out professional software as themselves.
Opinion appreciated!
