Show HN: Presentations for your webcam, not a projector

I think there's a "market mismatch" here. If you're a professional presenter, you're already used to OBS, which is complex but free, open-source, works on all platforms (as opposed to Mac-only).

Sure the "draw anywhere" feature is nice, but there are ways to achieve the same thing in OBS using a tablet (various free or paid plugins do this).

If you're not a professional presenter, sure this is easier to use than OBS, but in that case a relatively expensive subscription-only model doesn't make sense for an occasional user.

As someone who speaks to a lot of Ecamm Live users, I beg to differ. They're paying >$300/year for a tool that is basically a less-convoluted version of OBS (and Mac only).

The drawing feature is possible using other apps but it's always a bit of a compromise and awkward to set up.

I help people to do this every day and I know lots of them would prefer something easier!

> OBS, which is complex but free

A lot of professionals pay big money for tools that make their workflow simple.
