Video FormsFeb 2026 · vforms.bevel.software · ▲196Hi HN I built Video Forms: a tool that lets you attach questions to specific timestamps in a video, optionally with branching/skip logic. Motivation: I kept getting “looks good” feedback on demo/onboarding videos, but the useful feedback was always “at 0:42 I got confused” — and it was hard to collect that in a structured way. Surveys lose context; comments are unstructured. How it works (high level): - You create a “video form” by placing questions at timestamps (e.g., 0:18, 0:42) - The video can pause to ask the question, then continue - Answers can branch to different follow-up…
VidStudio, a browser based video editor that doesn't upload your filesApr 2026 · vidstudio.app · ▲301Hi HN, I built VidStudio, a privacy focused video editor that runs in the browser.

FFmpeg…

Hey everyone, for the past like six months I've been working on a portfolio project. I got tired of doing easy projects, so I decided to tackle something bigger and more challenging. That's when I came up with the idea of a video editor. This piece of work is intended to showcase my skills and land me a job, but I like to think when working on projects that my idea is so cool that people will like to use it, and I treat every project like a startup idea. Also I havent seen many open source video editors especially on web so that was one of the points why I decided to make that and not…
