Mirage

What it does

Most product demos are a 40MB video nobody finishes or a $500/mo tool no bootstrapper can justify. Mirage is the third option: capture your real app in one click, add guided hotspots, and publish a clickable demo you can embed anywhere in ~90 seconds. Track views, completions, and per step drop-off so you fix the leak instead of guessing. Perfect for landing pages, PH launches, and onboarding emails. First demo is free forever.

Build interactive product demos that feel alive. Capture your real app with one click, add guided hotspots, and embed anywhere in 90 seconds. Free to start — the affordable Navattic, Arcade & Storylane alternative.

Mirage turns your app into a clickable, beautifully directed demo that lives on your landing page! Every hotspot is live. Type, click, finish the flow. It's exactly what your buyers will do on your landing page. Prospects click through your actual product: pixel-sharp, instant-loading. Not a 40MB video that blurs the moment it matters. Record a flow with the Mirage extension or drop in screenshots. Hotspots land themselves. Drop a single iframe into your landing page, docs, or onboarding email. The demo follows your buyer. A gliding cursor, spotlight focus, easing curves tuned by hand. It feels directed, not generated. Accent color, tooltip voice, custom call-to-action. Every demo reads…from usemirage.io

  Side project passed $2.5k/mo revenue after 2 years (Phoenix and Vue)2021 · ▲381

  Several years ago, I had a client whose salespeople were using Excel to generate sales proposals. This was inefficient and the resulting documents looked awful, so I developed a new process for them using a no-code platform. It featured a web form that was tied to a workflow engine, and a fancy PDF got emailed to the customer to sign. When the client loved the solution, I knew I was on to something. However, the no-code platform wasn't very customizable, so I decided to rebuild the process as a SaaS product. The client's CTO wanted in and we became cofounders. Today, we passed the…

  DemoSliceMar 2026 · demoslice.io · ▲12

  Hi HN! I built DemoSlice after getting frustrated with enterprise demo tools that cost $20k-$50k/year. Most teams only use 40% of their features anyway. DemoSlice does one thing: turn screenshots into clickable product tours. No complex HTML capture, no training required, no expensive contracts. How it works: 1. Upload screenshots 2. Add clickable hotspots 3. Annotate with text bubbles 4. Share a public link Pricing is simple: Free plan (1 demo with watermark) or Pro at $19/month (unlimited, no watermark). Currently validating demand with a working prototype. Would love to hear…

  Talanoa▲340

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s▲2,935

  I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

  Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)▲1,033

  Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer▲937

  A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

  OpenSEO▲928

  Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
