What tools can create a side-by-side mobile app and browser product demo?

I’m looking for online tools to create polished landing-page visuals and short demo videos for a specific two-device workflow:

  • An owner performs actions in a mobile app
  • Viewers see the result in a web browser
  • Both screens should appear side-by-side or transition together so the relationship is immediately clear

I already have screenshots and can make screen recordings. I’m looking for tools that can create:

  • Phone and browser mockups in one composition
  • Synchronized side-by-side screen recordings
  • Animated transitions between actions on the phone and results in the browser
  • Short, polished videos suitable for a landing page

Ideally, the tool should be browser-based or beginner-friendly and not require After Effects. What tools or workflows do you use?

I built a retailer-neutral product review app. Does this solve a real problem?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been building Used & Rated, an independent review app for everyday products.

The idea came from a frustration with reviews being tied to individual retailers. The same product can have scattered reviews across several stores, making it difficult to compare real experiences or know what people actually paid.

Used & Rated lets shoppers:

  • Search for a product or scan its barcode
  • Read reviews attached to the exact product and variant
  • See what reviewers paid and where
  • See whether people would buy it again
  • Optionally verify a purchase using a private receipt

I’m trying to make it retailer-neutral, with rankings that brands cannot pay to influence.

I’d genuinely appreciate blunt feedback on a few things:

  1. Is the value of the app immediately clear?
  2. Would you scan a product while shopping to check reviews and prices?
  3. What would make you trust or distrust reviews on a new platform?
  4. Does optional receipt verification add useful trust, or unnecessary friction?
  5. What would stop you from contributing your own review?

You can try it here: https://usedandrated.com

I’m especially interested in criticism of the concept and first-time experience, not just visual feedback. Thanks!

How can I distribute community driven free tool.

I want to launch and get feedback about a community driven completely free to use tool. Which are good places to post or talk about. Or any other strategies?

Which trade-off would you rather make when sharing 200 vacation photos?

A. Cloud sharing

  • Upload the photos to a cloud service first.
  • Family can access them anytime.

B. Direct sharing

  • Photos stay on your phone.
  • Your phone stays online while people are viewing them.

C. Messaging apps

  • Send everything through WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, etc.
  • Fast and familiar, but large albums can become cumbersome.

D. Temporary encrypted sharing

  • Photos are encrypted on your phone and uploaded temporarily.
  • Family can access them while your phone is offline.
  • The uploaded copies automatically expire after a chosen period.

Which would you choose, and why?

How do you share a large batch of original-quality photos with family?

I've been trying to solve a problem that seems surprisingly awkward:

I come back from a holiday with 100+ photos and want to share some of them with family.

WhatsApp/Messenger → compression
Google Photos → upload them to another cloud library
Quick Share/AirDrop → great, but everyone needs to be nearby

What I really want is:

  • Select photos on my phone
  • Give family a simple link/access
  • Keep the original quality
  • Photos don't become part of another cloud photo library
  • Ideally, the photos stay on my phone

I've been experimenting with a solution to this and I'm curious what Android users actually do today.

What's your preferred way of sharing a large batch of original-quality photos with family/friends?

I'm especially interested in solutions that don't require uploading the photos to a third-party cloud.

NZ freelancers, sole traders & small business owners: how do you handle tax set-asides and payment splits?

For those who freelance, contract, or run a small business in NZ, how do you handle money movement after payments come in?

For example:

- When an invoice is paid, do you move a percentage into a tax/GST account?

- If you take a commission or fee, do you manually split that out and forward the rest?

- Do you split income into bills, owner pay, savings, or GST buckets?

- Do you keep a separate bills account topped up for upcoming direct debits?

- Do you batch these transfers weekly/monthly, or do them as payments arrive?

I’m curious what people actually do in practice.

Do you use separate bank accounts, spreadsheets, accounting software, reminders, or just handle it manually when you remember?

And would you trust automation for any of this, or would you prefer approval/reminders only?

For people in NZ who budget across multiple bank accounts or banks: what money movement do you still do manually after payday or after transactions?

For example: moving money between banks, splitting pay into bills/savings/spending, setting aside tax, topping up KiwiSaver, sweeping spare change, or tracking subscriptions.

I’m curious where existing bank automatic payments/rules are enough, and where they fall short.
