What exactly will I build during the 8 weeks?

That depends on you. DevLaunch is designed to help you ship YOUR product or MVP. You'll bring your idea, and we'll provide the structure, guidance, and live examples to help you execute. Most participants build SaaS products, internal tools, or automation-heavy applications.

How much coding experience do I need?

You don't need to be an expert, but you should be comfortable with the basics. You'll need to understand how to work with APIs, follow along with code examples, and use AI-assisted development tools like Cursor or Claude Code. If you've built simple projects before, you're likely ready.

What if I fall behind or miss a session?

All live sessions are recorded. You'll have access to the replays, and office hours are there to help you catch up on any blockers. That said, this cohort moves fast - consistent participation is key to getting results.

Is this done-for-you development?

No. You will be writing and implementing your own code. We provide guidance, live build examples, and support - but the execution is on you. If you're looking for done-for-you, check out our DevLab offering.

What's the difference between Core and Plus?

Core gives you the full cohort experience: live builds, office hours, and community access. Plus adds priority office hours scheduling and Dev Review credits - personalized architecture or code reviews with recorded Loom feedback.

What happens after the 8 weeks?

You'll leave with either a shipped product or a production-ready MVP, plus a clear roadmap for what comes next. Many participants continue building, some launch to customers, and some move on to additional cohorts or DevLab for scaling.

How do I know if I'm ready?

You're ready if you have a clear product idea (not just a vague concept), can commit 5-10 hours per week, and are comfortable shipping something imperfect. If you're still exploring ideas or can't commit the time, wait for a future cohort.

Do I need to know how to code?

You should be comfortable opening a project and following a setup guide. Codex or Claude can handle the installation and most customizations, but VideoFlow is a developer-owned tool, not a managed service.

Do you provide support or customization?

No. The price is for the code, not a support contract. Implementation, debugging, hosting management, and custom feature work are not included.

Are the roadmap features guaranteed?

No. The roadmap describes product directions under consideration, not promised features or release dates. Scope, order, and timing can change, and some ideas may never ship.

The working product

Everything you need to record, share, and learn what happened next.

These capabilities are already present in the VideoFlow codebase. They are not a roadmap of features that might show up later.

Three recording modes

Capture screen + mic, screen + camera, or a clean camera-only message from the browser.

A camera bubble you control

Drag it, resize it, mirror it, and switch between a circle or square before you hit send.

Mic + system audio

Choose the right microphone, mix in system audio, pause, resume, and review before upload.

Instant share pages

Publish a clean link, regenerate it when needed, add a CTA, or let viewers download the original.

Searchable transcripts

Audio is captured separately for transcription, with timestamped segments viewers can search and jump through.

Comments + reactions

Collect named comments and emoji reactions right beside the video, with notification hooks already wired.

Viewer analytics

See views, unique viewers, average watch percentage, completion rate, and recent viewer progress.

Real privacy controls

Keep videos private or public, set a password, and independently toggle comments, reactions, and downloads.

2026 product direction

A stronger editor is the next direction.

We are exploring the foundations for deeper editing, transcript-assisted cleanup, polished layouts, better audio, and more export control.

Direction, not a promise. There are no guaranteed features or dates. Purchase VideoFlow for what is included today.

The important feature

The source is the product.

Change the logo. Rewrite the share page. Add a CRM field. Wire in a webhook. Remove everything you do not use. You are not waiting for somebody else's product roadmap.

The real cost

Video does not have to become another forever bill.

Pay for the code once. After that, the bill is your actual infrastructure, not a subscription multiplied by every person on your team.

Before you buy

Straight answers.

VideoFlow is a better fit for owners than renters and for builders than people looking for a managed help desk.

The complete VideoFlow source code, setup instructions, and the working browser recorder, library, share pages, transcript workflow, viewer interactions, and analytics shown on this page.

No. You are buying code. You deploy it into your own accounts and keep using the version you bought. Your only ongoing costs are the infrastructure you choose and any optional update pass.

You should be comfortable opening a project and following a setup guide. Codex or Claude can handle the install and most customizations, but this is still a developer-owned tool, not a managed service.

The $294 one-time package includes the complete source code plus access to new VideoFlow code releases for one year. Your installed version keeps working and remains yours after that year ends.

No. The price is for the code, not a support contract. We do not include implementation, debugging, hosting management, or custom feature work.

The included architecture uses Convex for application data, Cloudflare R2 for video storage, and Cloudflare for delivery/hosting. You will create and own those accounts.

No. The roadmap describes product directions we are considering, not promised features or release dates. Buy VideoFlow for the capabilities included today. Scope, order, and timing can change, and some ideas may never ship.

You permanently retain the VideoFlow version you purchase. Future pricing changes never create a new charge for code you already own.
