How ONE Simple Feature is Driving Sales

I finally get why people say it's best to "scratch your own itch" when making a SaaS product.

I'm the biggest power user of my own software, Podsplice.

My brother and I started building it because I wanted a screen recording software that:

• Is browser-based
• Records your mic, screen, system audio, and webcam
• Records them all on separate tracks (and combines automatically at the end)

It amazes me how many screen recorders don't even record system audio (the sound coming from your browser, like the sound playing in a YouTube video).

I always figured a screen recorder would record what you see and hear on your screen, but most of them just record what you see.

I make YouTube reaction videos for a few different channels. I need the system audio. I also don't want to download anything like OBS and figure it out.

I just want to press record. To me, recording a 10-minute video (including editing) should take me about 12 minutes in total. 10 minutes to record and 2 to clip (edit) and put on YouTube.

Anything that is more annoying than that means I'll record 1 video per month instead of one per day (which I do now).

Podsplice also records remote podcasts (locally recorded, high-quality)and makes AI shorts with karaoke subtitles. But so far many people have been first buying it because of the system audio (Mac users call it internal audio).

If I weren't using the software myself, I wouldn't know what a big deal it was. I listen to my customers, but I know what to build before they even ask, because I have the same needs as they do.
