Hey all, I run a presentation sharing platform called Sizle, it's still quite new to the market having only been around for about a year, but I'm hoping that it might be useful to some people here.

Because of what's going on with this pandemic (some of my family work in high school education and I've seen the pressure and chaos that is really unfolding there), I want try try to do something to help and am giving lifetime Pro subscriptions Free for all K12, university and college educators and staff (and anyone else in the field).

If you know someone in the field, or you try it out yourself and want to take this up just enter either of these codes. I'm also happy for anyone on HN to use the codes too :)

EDUPRO100 (100% discount on monthly license)

EDUANNUAL100 (100% discount on annual license)

How Sizle works:

- Upload a PDF or PowerPoint presentation

- Send it to one or multiple recipients with optional password protection

- You get notified when the document is opened

- You can see how much time the viewer spent per slide

- You can optionally add a custom questionnaire to the end of your presentation

I know it's not much and I know that remote learning is won't be the norm moving forward, but I hope this helps at least someone during this crazy time regardless

Hey, thanks so much for the note. At the moment we’re using the Stripe API and there’s no way around this, but if you’re not able to use a credit card please sign up for a free account and email me at jeremy@sizle.io and I’ll manually upgrade your account to Pro without a credit card (that also goes for anyone else reading this post), hope that helps :)



Hi all, hope you can get some use from this list!

This list isn't for growing a community around your product, to do that you should spend time finding out where your users live online, and come up with some creative and human ways to interact with them for feedback.

This list is for boosting traffic to a page for a specific purpose (like a Product Hunt launch). Some might say that posting about your startup on startup directories is a waste of time because the resulting traffic is a vanity metric, but when a couple of upvotes can make a big difference on your big day you'll want as many as you can get.

Would love any feedback on the list, I'm sure there are some improvements that can be made!


Hi all, this is a project that I built with my co-founder. The idea is that Sizle is a presentation platform that lives in the browser with higher fps animations, millions of images, crm integrations, and a suite of analytics and engagement tools to measure presentation performance.

The primary users of Sizle are marketers, sales reps and founders. Any feedback is much appreciated :)

EDIT: The title links directly to the app, the landing page can be found at www.sizle.io



Hi all, Sizle is an experimental tool that I built with a friend of mine that is currently in a public beta. The idea is a web-based presentation platform with much richer animation than existing alternatives, and a suite of viewer analytics and performance metrics for senders to see the performance of their documents, would love to hear any feedback :)

EDIT: The link in the title goes to the dashboard, if you want to visit the landing page you can do so at https://sizle.io/

While I completely agree, for some teams a successful Product Hunt launch can many positive follow on effects, and as unfortunate as it is the PH system works on upvotes at its core. There's nothing better than engaging with the communities that your future users are a part of, but this list is not for product development and UX, purely for helping make a splash on launch day.


^ This. These links/directories are best used as a 'set and forget for a while' tool so help drive organic traffic over time, definitely not a silver bullet.


Here is a list that I made for my own Product Hunt launch in December for www.sizle.io after going through a lot of the old lists that exist online and finding the most up to date ones. There is probably a much better way to format this but hopefully it helps! If anyone has any suggestions to improve the list that would be great :)


Cool thanks, I've just updated my own list. If someone wants to save some time, we offer the posting as a service here:

Thanks for posting this. I'm getting close to needing this for a new offering I'm building and have collected a few in my own notes. This is much more comprehensive than what I would have gotten on my own.
