Hi, Hunters, it’s great to be back on Product Hunt! Thanks to everyone who voted on our last Product Hunt release. 🔊 Today we’re proud to release Minerva’s Capture feature, AND Pro tools. Download the extension, create an account, and capture clickable step-by-step instructions on any website! No credit card required. No free trial. Create and use as many recipes as you’d like for free! 💰 AND, we’re offering $1,000 to a community organization responding to COVID*. For every new user that we get TODAY we’ll be donating an additional $1 to that organization (up to $5,000). 🤷 Want us to choose your community? Create a Minerva recipe to help people sign up to get vaccinated and Tweet it @minervaknows using the hashtag #MinervaCovidResponse. If your recipe is used the most, we’ll coordinate with you to make sure the donation goes to the right place! 👐 All recipes you create with Minerva are public by default. We believe Minerva recipes should be available for everyone to benefit from. You should be able to help your grandma use the internet to sign up for a COVID vaccination, and you shouldn’t have to pay for that. And if someone else needs to help their grandparents, they should just be able to share the recipe you created. 💻 Questions? We are livestreaming on Zoom all day today! → 8am to 8pm ET. http://bit.ly/37TXJQG ♻️ We will be offering our Pro tools on subscription basis in the future, but they are entirely accessible today without a subscription. The team has grown since the last time we were here, and now @joaquin_roca @ctwoodnyc @iamrgon @pcrysdale @jamie_nikosey @theonf @minerva_mhgbrown @davinchew @daniel_vega1 @jon_belsky @jolieadam and I are so excited to be sharing that you can now create your own recipes! It’s free, so go ahead and create as many as you’d like! We will be livestreaming along with many special guests throughout the day (see the lineup below). Have questions? Curious?

We’d love to hear ALL of your feedback. It will only help us get better. And please share Minerva with anyone that you think should know about us. Finally, we wouldn’t exist without the support of many, many people. Thank you to our families, our investors, and a special shout to @trace_cohen for hunting us! * For our #MinervaCovidResponse promotion today, we’ll be sending the money to a community organization responding to the COVID crisis in the zip code of the user who creates the most followed COVID response recipe over the next week.

So excited to be back! Let's rock!
Kellet Atkinson
Minerva is awesome and the team has done an awesome job. The product is a game changer to helping people be more productive on the web. Can't wait to see what recipes people make!
Jolie Adam
@kellet_atkinson Appreciate the kind words and support! We're so excited to welcome new members and see all the wonderful recipes being cooked up.
Craig T. Wood
Hey @kellet_atkinson, how are you using Minerva? From one Product person to another, what can we do better?
Joaquin Roca
@kellet_atkinson Kellet! Thank you for dropping by. I still owe you a few recipes. I promise I haven't forgotten! Speak soon.
Kellet Atkinson
Hi Craig, Joaquin and I were playing with adding some complementary recipes to tutorials on DZone. I also have been playing with ways to help people navigate our site and share content. I love how easy Minerva is. Would love to leverage the sdk so all DZone visitors could see and use the recipes. In the meantime, we will share the extension with our community when we have some recipes that correspond with tutorials.
Craig T. Wood
@kellet_atkinson hell yeah. The SDK is killer - glad you see the opportunity there.
Bogdan Ionita
Glad to see you back! My customer success team has tested Minerva at the initial launch and their feedback has been really cool. I'm so glad you have new things in store!
Jolie
@bogdan_ionita Happy to be back, especially now that Minerva Pro is open to everyone. Would love to connect with someone on your team to learn about their experience!
Joaquin Roca
@bogdan_ionita this is great! So glad you're enjoying it! Definitely hit us up for any help you need. We love customer feedback!!
Luke Thomas
Really excited to start using this product for customer conversations. Recording a loom or taking screenshots/adding arrows is a duplication of effort. - I need to record/share the instructions - The user then needs to watch + parse the instructions - The user then needs to then follow the instructions in their own instance Minerva cuts out the middle step. I can share the recipe and they can instantly jump into action. What's also great is that I can save and use the same recipe over and over again for future conversations.
Joaquin Roca
@lukethomas14 thanks for the support, Luke! We're excited you and the team are enjoying Minerva!!
Craig T. Wood
@lukethomas14 love the energy! I head up the Product group here at Minerva. Would you be open to a 15 minute chat in the next few weeks to help us better understand your needs? Feel free to drop me a note craig@minervaknows.com
Peter Crysdale
@lukethomas14 Thank you so much for your support today, Luke!
Tony Beltramelli

Will Gendron
David Sacks on Clubhouse brought me here
Joaquin Roca

Jolie Adam
@william_gendron Welcome! Upvote and start creating recipes today.
Craig T. Wood
@william_gendron he's the man, isn't he? Would love your feedback and to learn about your use cases if you think Minerva could be for you. Let us know!
Joaquin Roca
Hi, everyone, we're really excited to be back! I can't wait to see what recipes the community build with Minerva. Today we're hoping to help make it easier for people around the world to get their Covid vaccinations, so if you're able, go ahead and create a recipe to help people sign up to get vaccinated, then tweet it out with #MinervaCovidResponse. Let's see if we can do some good!
Zane Groshelle

Craig T. Wood
@jpedde thanks, Jenn! Tell the world! 😎
Joaquin Roca
@jpedde thank you, Jenn!
Javier Sanchez Mejorada
Really interesting venture! How are you guys planning to monetize this?
Joaquin Roca
@javier_sanchez_mejorada1 as of today we're giving away a month of our premium features: recipe privacy, team collaboration, and analytics. Starting in April you will still be able to create and use as many recipes as you'd like, but will have to pay for those features. We do plan on keeping even the paid features very accessible. Let us know if you want to talk!
Oleh Hriaznov
Your product looks great. Can't wait to try it!

@oleh_hriaznov Thanks, Oleh! We're here to support you!
Joaquin Roca
@oleh_hriaznov why wait? It's available for you right now!!! Would love to hear your thoughts/feedback!
Craig T. Wood
@oleh_hriaznov once you've tried it, please let us know what you think!
Asad Ali
Fantastic product. This is how everything should be done!
Joaquin Roca
@asadoo93 glad you like it, Asad! Thanks so much for the support!!
Mathieu Guerville
Love this tool, 10x easier to deploy than other walkthrough tools and recipes are super lightweight while being way more useful for learning than a screen recording video
Joaquin Roca
@mattmg83 thank you, Mathieu, and thanks for dropping by and connecting with us!
James Quinn
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Gonna pass along to a few colleagues that will find this useful...
Peter Crysdale
@james_afino Thanks for the love, James! We really appreciate your support.
Joaquin Roca
@james_afino amazing. Thank you, James!
Chau Mui
Really great product - I can see this being extremely useful for city/state local sites - it is a true democratization of the internet and what I am sure will be impactful for lives all across the world~
Peter Crysdale
@chau_mui Thank you so much, Chau!
Joaquin Roca
@chau_mui thank you, Chau!!!
Jens Wernborg
It a great way to show anyone how to use any place (website) on the internet. From how to fill in an online form to how to adjust your settings on Facebook or LinkedIn. You do it once, recorded with Minerva, and then you can share it with anyone that faces the same problem or challenge.
Joaquin Roca
@jens_wernborg thanks, Jens! We really appreciate the support!
Peter Crysdale
@jens_wernborg Thank you for using Minerva, Jens! We're so glad you're getting value from it.
Pascal Weinberger
