Hi all!

We are two developers from Toronto that built a product that allows you to turn any device with a browser and a camera into a security camera.

We posted our product on Show HN about a month ago and received a ton of fantastic feedback. We've taken a lot of your feedback and made some significant changes to try and improve Viyo!

Some of the major changes:

- We rebranded from UView to Viyo

- We updated the homepage design

- We overhauled the privacy policy

- We added a security section

- We changed from free trial to freemium (free forever with optional paid premium)

- We added a referral program to add free cameras

We are still in the early stages of launching our product so any and all feedback is always appreciated!

Cool idea!, I will definitely give it a try. The change to freemium has made me consider trying it.

It would be nice to have also a simple "how it works" section in the front page. Anything related to stream video with a third party involved generates always privacy concerns, so having a simple schematic of how and where the video stream data flows would be great.

That's a great suggestion! We do have a security section but the link is in the footer. I assume you mean having something like this more prominent?

oh, I did not see it. I would never think on the footer to look for that kind of information.

I really think if you make this more prominent it would be better. Just personal opinion.
