Hey! Dean from Dubble here, I'm really excited to launch Dubble on 🚀PH! ✨ What is Dubble? Dubble is a Chrome Extension and Desktop app* that watches how you work and translates your actions into written step-by-step guides, videos and screenshots - so you don’t have to. 🛑 The problem Writing and maintaining good documentation is slow, boring, and hard, so often it doesn't get done. This makes onboarding new employees, clients and customers harder than it has to be - often with lots of repetitive 1:1 training sessions. What if you could "Dubble" yourself? (Get it? Like "Double yourself"!) On top of this; processes change and docs go stale. There's only one thing worse than no docs and that's wrong docs! 🧩 The solution Dubble works just like a screen recorder - available as both a Chrome Extension or Desktop app. Here's how it works. 🔴 Record You press record and then go through the process you'd like to document - just do your thing! As soon as you're done the docs, screenshots and screen recording are ready to go. ✏️ Edit In seconds you can edit descriptions, markup, redact and edit screenshots - or pick completely new screenshots from existing screen recordings. 🎁 Share Share a URL to your guide with a single click, or invite your team to edit and record guides together. Magically copy and paste your guides to wherever your knowledge lives - whether that's Notion, Confluence, Google Docs, Trainual... Anywhere that supports rich content or markdown works for Dubble. ⏎ Come back and update docs any time! Easily make changes, record new steps, import steps between guides, add tips and alerts to keep your docs as up to date and relevant as possible. LIMITED TIME SPECIAL OFFER FOR PRODUCT HUNT FRIENDS: Get 50% off Dubble Pro forever for the next 48 hours I'd love to hear your thoughts! *The desktop app is currently only available in early beta on Mac, Windows is in the works!

Congrats on the launch! I've tried it out and I can say it can be a huge time-saver!

I just tried Dubble, and I'm really impressed! It not only creates documentation for website interactions but also works perfectly within my browser extension's new tab page. I've tested other similar tools that failed to function on extension pages, but Dubble handled it seamlessly. This is a game-changer for documenting browser extension workflows, especially for extensions that operate on their own pages. Great job on making such a versatile and robust tool!

Dubble seems like a handy tool for simplifying documentation! Automatically turning your actions into step-by-step guides, videos, and screenshots could save a lot of time and effort. It's a practical way to create clear documentation without the manual work!

Dubble is a great tool for automating the creation of documentation. It observes your work and turns the actions into step-by-step instructions, videos, and screenshots.

Congrats, @dean_mcpherson! This will be really useful. I've just installed it and will give it a try!

Wow, @dean_mcpherson, Dubble sounds like an absolute game-changer for anyone struggling with documentation! 📝 The idea of transforming everyday workflows into detailed guides and videos effortlessly is brilliant. It’s incredible how Dubble aims to combat the tedious and time-consuming nature of creating and maintaining documentation. The feature to edit and update content seamlessly, and then share it across various platforms, is a lifesaver for teams that rely on up-to-date knowledge bases. Plus, the limited-time offer makes it even more enticing! Can't wait to see how this evolves, especially with the upcoming Windows support. Kudos to you and the team for this innovative solution! 🚀

Been a paperform customer for many years so happy to support this! I'm currently using ScribeHow - any particular differences?

Congrats! 🎯How does Dubble ensure that the documentation it generates remains accurate as processes change over time?

Oh this would be great to build documentations for operations heavy tasks like QAing or onboarding new users. I can see this be used in many other use cases though. Oh small things like how to set your signature! The cool thing is now this is searchable and can be attached to an LLM to help people self serve - very cool. How does the tool work? Screen record -> breaks down into frames -> analyze each frame with a multimodal LLM? Congrats on launching and acquiring your own product here @dean_mcpherson and team!
