Show HN: Mindstamp – Make Any Video Interactive

https://mindstamp.com
3•ladybro•3mo ago
Hey HN!

My name is Brett and I'm the solo developer behind Mindstamp.

Mindstamp turns any video into a two-way, interactive experience by layering in clickable buttons, hotspots, quiz questions, branching, images, and a whole lot more.

Here's a quick walkthrough: https://youtu.be/CD42oKQjnKI

Back in 2018, I built a product called Aech that let you add comments on top of videos for your friends so it felt like you were watching together.

That didn't quite work, but it got into the hands of a couple video agencies using it for client feedback, and for the past 7 years I've listened to the feedback that users have given to continually improve the platform.

Today, we are used primarily by corporate training teams and educational institutions that want to ensure their content is being 1. watched and 2. understood.

Rather than watching a video and taking a quiz at the end, we put that quiz right inside the video to ensure they are paying attention.

Here's a live demo: https://mindstamp.com/demo

Mindstamp is built using a Rails backend and a Vue.js frontend. A few months back, I completed a full rebuild of the entire app since it accumulated a lot of technical debt after 7 years of learning while building. It took me 12 months, but now I can sleep at night, so I'd say it was worth it.

Happy to answer any questions or provide more info. Thank you!

This is insanely cool! - no idea how the underlying tech works, but was neat seeing the responses I gave in one of the demos be rendered responsively on my iPhone - ran into an “iframe not allowed” error on mobile safari (iOS 26)

Thanks for trying it and the kind words! Dynamic personalization with variables like that is certainly our cooler offerings. I'll check out that iframe issue, thanks again!
