Yo Rai, Been a while, thanks for the detailed feedback. >Landed on the page, clicked on 'Make your first video now' and got into what I think is a very convoluted sign up process
Little work has gone into that signup process, definitely something we'll focus on in April >There doesn't seem to be a way to get back to the home page biteable.com Good point, adding to Todo >Making video - No colour picker on Text colour? We'll most likely be removing the Text colour selector. We found most people that changed it stuffed their video up with a colour that wasn't readable >Picked Helicopter as first scene, entered text - Whoa it's a helicopter!! - nothing happens. No error messages, not loading indication. I'm stuck on the page :( There isn't a live preview on that page. You won't see your text in the video until you create it with the "I am done, send me this video" button >Keep at it! I really like the concept Cheers, we've got a long way to go but we're progressing nicely at the moment On Thursday, 20 March 2014 12:40:28 UTC+11, dekrazee1 wrote: > > Hey James, > > Finally got around to playing with Biteable. > > Landed on the page, clicked on 'Make your first video now' and got into > what I think is a very convoluted sign up process.
