I work for Beautiful.ai - we have this, but currently behind a feature flag. We'll be releasing what you described soon - the reason it isn't fully released yet is that you still need some kind of conference call link, and having two links gets a bit awkward for viewers. We're also working on a way to record video with synchronized slide advancement for an asynchronous "meeting" with the same intended effect. Let me know if you want to chat or check it out.

I know we're mentioning the $100k number, but I'm genuinely curious: how do you spend $100k on staging? I currently spend $75k/year on production, $3k/year on staging, and around $2k/year for a full cloud environment per developer that wants one. For me, $100k for staging would mean >200k monthly active users on staging.

I think it would be pretty good. Less employers needing graphics programming, but a lot less candidates. I've been trying to hire someone with some graphics programming experience and so far have had a lot of trouble finding candidates in SF.

You're not wrong. We don't have any paying customers, but we've had discussions with people from dozens of companies, and those are the ones we chose to advertise. Only a couple are people we knew beforehand.

You're almost right. We've been doing a lot of work to fix Safari issues. There are only a handful of bugs unique to Safari left, and enabling Safari support is on our immediate roadmap. We actually have benchmarked Safari being quite a bit faster than Chrome, as well, so we're very excited to get everything working. Firefox has many more unique bugs that we haven't had time to tackle yet. Thanks for exploring!

No, we're on a freemium model, but haven't launched any paid features quite yet. We expect to have a very valuable offering available for free forever.
