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.

What you get, and what you do not.

Before you choose VideoFlow

Ownership includes responsibility.

VideoFlow does not claim Vidyard's AI avatars, Video Agent, CRM catalog, advanced revenue analytics, or enterprise controls.
Vidyard is the more complete choice when sales-video execution is the primary job.
VideoFlow buyers own deployment, hosting, customization, debugging, and maintenance.

The ownership option

Put the video workflow inside your business, not outside it.

Download the source, connect Convex and Cloudflare, deploy to your domain, and customize with Codex or Claude. The version you buy remains yours.

Questions

A fair comparison needs context.

Is VideoFlow a Vidyard replacement?+

VideoFlow can cover a customizable browser recording and sharing workflow, but it is not a complete replacement for Vidyard's revenue-video platform, AI avatars, automated delivery, integration catalog, or enterprise controls.

How much does Vidyard cost?+

Vidyard offers Free, Starter, Teams, and Enterprise plans. Teams and Enterprise use custom pricing, and Vidyard describes its model as per-seat licensing. Check Vidyard's checkout or sales team for a current quote.

What are the limits of Vidyard Free?+

Vidyard currently lists five video recordings per month on Free, with a recording length of up to 30 minutes. Other creation and integration limits also apply.

Which is better for a sales team?+

Vidyard is stronger out of the box for sales teams that need CRM integrations, CTAs, advanced analytics, AI video, and vendor-managed administration. VideoFlow is stronger when the company wants to own and build a custom workflow.

Does VideoFlow include implementation support?+

No. VideoFlow is a source-code product. Setup, hosting, code changes, maintenance, and troubleshooting are not included.
