| system right now if you showed me your pricing.)

| Loved it. I'm gonna try this for Engagespot :)

| Thanks for giving it try, Anand. Let me know if you have any

|
| However, I'm afraid that the service would only work in a hosted
| context, correct? So I'm embedding some JS from a external
| website + loading the data about what the would do, all remotely
| to your running external website?
|
| Personally I try to avoid this as much as possible for my own
| websites and websites I create for clients. Always try to either
| inline stuff that gets used, or at least store it together with
| the site itself, so everything loads from one domain (CSP becomes
| a lot easier to control) and the site itself is self-contained.
|
| I'm guessing there is no way to achieve that with this tool?
|
| I really like the results, but bit wary of the implementation.

| I tested it on different MacBooks, and it works without any

|
| I guess the problem is mainly with Windows. I will try to fix
| this.

| Same here. The main splash vibrates on Windows.

| Seems strange to not test on windows at all

| just fyi, it seems to be working on firefox/chrome on

| Probably the issue is with DPI rather than Windows or macOS.

| Firefox/Chrome

| Same, totally broken for me with overlapped/vibrating

| Windows and Chrome.

| Is there a Firefox extension yet? I think those can work on

| Enabling people to create product demos from their phones would

| By interactivity you mean the clicking on the pulsating circles
| right? And the 'slides' of the demo are flat screenshots?
