5 points by samps on Sept 12, 2011 | hide | past | favorite | 6 comments



Instapaper for Video has already been done and it's slick. -http://gigaom.com/apple/watchlater-is-instapaper-for-video-o...


another similar app in the space is Denso: http://getdenso.com/


It has been done a /lot/ - http://www.google.com/search?q=%22instapaper+for+video%22

If anyone of the founders of these startups are reading this, I have an honest question - why? Is it because there really isn't oen dominant instapaper for video the way there is an instapaper for text? Is it you were unaware of the competition? Is it boredom? I'd really like to know what drives you to create it.


Thanks for your feedback. I work on the Denso app which nathos plugged (thanks nathos). We're aware of our "competitors" though I think this is not a zero-sum game.

Denso started off as a personal itch of mine, but we have a unique twist on how we get instapaper'ed videos onto your various devices.

We've also kinda expanded on our vision and believe that video-watching is a more passive experience than reading, and hence needs different requirements and we feel Denso fits that niche (although we'd like our users to decide that).

We're still in private beta but we're hoping to go "live" really soon.


Anything similiar for the Android device available?

Edit: Also, for a nice rundown: http://softwareas.com/watch-it-later-a-comprehensive-review-...


Shameless plug, but Denso has an Android app in the works and it's very close to being live: http://getdenso.com/android-sneak-peek
