      <description>&lt;p&gt;While working on one of my own products, I wanted an interactive demo I could embed and keep online.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The problem was that most of the decent options felt like renting the demo forever. For something that might not change for months, paying a recurring subscription just to keep it alive didn’t make much sense.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So I built PokeDemo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The idea is simple:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;record a product flow&lt;br&gt;
edit the steps&lt;br&gt;
add tooltips, styling, and zoom&lt;br&gt;
export the result as a bundle&lt;br&gt;
self-host it wherever you want&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can record, edit, and preview for free.&lt;br&gt;
Payment only happens on the first export, and re-exports are free after that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I wanted demo creation to feel more like creating an asset you own, not something you keep paying for just to exist.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Under the hood, the product leans into a developer-friendly workflow too, since the final demo is meant to fit into your own stack instead of living forever on someone else’s platform.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’d really love feedback:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Does the export + self-host model sound genuinely useful?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For something like this, where would you use it first: landing pages, onboarding, docs, or sales?&lt;/p&gt;
