So I made a community for discussing stuff related to live presentations. Not slide makers but acyual moment of presenting, and especially the tech part of it. But idk how i could make it reach people who would benefit from joining it.

Helppp!!!

I was new to reddit and didn't know I had to change username within 30 days of signup and now this name is what I gotta fly with.

Is it weird / funny / cringe / awkward?

why is setting up payments still such a pain man

everyone keeps saying saas is easy, just build and ship and start earning but nobody talks about the payments part especially if you are in india

i swear the actual product feels easier than getting money to flow properly. gateways rejecting you, random compliance stuff, docs asking for things you didnt even know existed, and half the time you just get stuck in approval loops

and then you look at people in the us talking about adding stripe in like 10 minutes and it just feels so disconnected from reality here

i get that rules exist and all that but it honestly feels like building the product is only 30 percent of the work and the rest is just figuring out how to actually get paid without headaches

anyone else dealing with this or am i just missing something obvious

I feel like there needs to be something to manage the tech part of doing presentations.

Anyone else with me?

I feel like presentations need to have a dedicated subreddit (I couldn't find any good ones)

Like an entire niche msising on reddit. I'm not talking about creating slides or ai slide generator or powerpoint.

Like actual presentation tips, especially the tech part. Like why do most people fumble to operate their laptop during a presentation? It's like ppt is the only way to present, i feel that needs to change

My app press:enter is currently india only. it’s only hit like 50 downloads so far and zero revenue. some international users reached out saying they’re having issues paying, guess that’s why i haven’t made any money.

right now i’m using razorpay which only handles domestic payments and i haven’t set up stripe or anything for international payments yet.

i want to keep it simple and do a one-time purchase for users, not subscriptions. should i try opening it up for international users now or just stick to india until i figure out compliances and payments stuff? also any advice on pricing would be super helpful. should i have one price for everyone or different pricing for india vs international?

any tips or experiences would be amazing

hey reddit

so i built an app called press:enter and right now it’s india only. thinking about opening it up for international users too but honestly i’m kinda scared about compliances, taxes, all that legal stuff.

on one hand more users = more potential revenue, on the other hand i don’t want to mess up with gst, vat, weird foreign tax stuff or paypal/stripe headaches.

anyone here has experience selling software internationally? is it worth the hassle at this stage or should i just stick to india for now?

So.... I got tired of how messy presentations are. either you duplicate your screen and show your whole laptop or you use extended display and spend forever moving windows around, setting logos as wallpapers, opening vlc just right, etc.

i made an app called press:enter to fix that. you set up an idle screen (logo or looped animation), import your files, and the app takes over the second screen. click anything, preview it, press enter, and boom, it shows on the big screen. no dragging, no awkward media controls.

thinking of adding a phone feature where volume buttons go next/previous.

the problem? so far it’s zero revenue.

anyone done something like this? how do you get people to actually pay for a tool like this?

I built a desktop app for an entirely new niche (basically creating a non existent market). My product is very unique and solving a very significant yet not adressed before problem.

I don't want to sell it on a subscription basis, but rather as a one time purchase tool.

I think it would help a lot of people. But i cannot decide on the right pricing.

Help me please?

every time i plugged into a projector i felt like i was temporarily handing my entire laptop to the room

either:

• mirror display and expose everything
• or use extend display and spend half your brain managing windows between screens

so i built a small windows app around one idea:

nothing shows on the projector unless you explicitly send it there

you preview stuff privately first, then hit enter and it goes live

also added a few things i always wished existed:

• branded idle screens between segments instead of awkward empty desktops
• video controls stay on your laptop while the projector only shows clean fullscreen output
• instant shield mode if you need to hide the screen for a second
• works with slides, videos, images, pdfs, whatever

launched it about a month ago, not gonna pretend it blew up or anything, sitting around ~50 downloads rn and still figuring out distribution lol

but people instantly seem to understand the problem once they see it

i’ve noticed a pattern with myself and it’s kinda messing with consistency. i built a small desktop tool ~4 weeks ago for presentations (keeps your laptop private and only shows what you explicitly send to the projector)

first 10 days after launch i was weirdly locked in
posted a bunch, answered people, got ~40 downloads, felt momentum

then it just dropped off hard. it's like like my attention just moved and i stopped pushing it

now it’s ~50 downloads total, $0 revenue

and it’s not even that the idea is dead, it’s that nothing moves if i’m not actively showing up for it

feels very much like:
build in hyperfocus → launch → get dopamine from initial response → brain moves on → project goes quiet

trying to rebuild discipline around the “after launch” phase now because that’s clearly where things actually happen, not in the initial build sprint

soo...... i built something for presentations where your laptop stays private and nothing shows on the external screen unless you explicitly send it

basically meant to avoid the usual chaos of presenting from your own laptop (accidental tabs, notifications, screen juggling, that kind of stuff)

launched it about 4 weeks ago

first 10 days were actually decent, got ~40 downloads from posting around reddit/twitter etc

then i just… stopped pushing it properly

not because anything broke, more like i lost momentum and didn’t stay consistent after launch week

right now it’s ~50 downloads total, $0 revenue

bit of a weird phase because the feedback i did get was actually good, but i didn’t really continue the distribution side of things

trying to get back into it now and not just do “launch bursts” and then vanish

just posting this to be honest about where it’s at instead of pretending it’s still going strong
