I love watching designers work. @jonnotie created a timelapse video redesign of Product Hunt a year ago. It's fun to see his thought process as it evolves from a grid into its final form.

@jonnotie @rrhoover thanks again for the feedback. We're currently growing our Early Adopter user base from our first 25 to our first 100. Early Adopters commit to stream for 1 hour a week for 12 weeks. In exchange for their help building the community, they'll receive access to being a Featured Streamer for life. To become an Early Adopter, email me at chris@watchmework.com

I really like the idea, but I find the site extremely difficult to navigate from an on boarding perspective. Might be time to get a designer to consult your landing page!
Jack Sutherland
Saw Chris the founder speak on this at an event and was immediately hooked by the idea. I know a lot of creative people who would use this in a heartbeat and if it creates anything similar to a Twitch community than it will be ultra successful!
Ned Rockson
Wow, this is fantastic. I was toying with this idea a month or two ago and balked on doing any sort of prototype. I love that it exists, great job!
Chris Weiher
@nedrockson thanks. It's a really compelling idea, and it's great to receive this kind of feedback!

Huh, reminds me of Maniac Week(end)s, where you work nonstop (except sleep) on your project for days on end, and take a screenshot and webcamshot every minute, although those only show you the macro-process, not the moment to moment process. (Example: http://malcolmocean.com/2014/07/... )

We're also in the midst of numerous site updates including some bug fixes and adding customizable profiles similar to twitch. This will allow users to include links to their websites, social media profiles and portfolios and will facilitate networking and new client relationships. We also add software applications based on user requests so if there's software you want to stream in, let us know! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/...

@chris_weiher If I am not a technical/creative services person, can I still jump on and give talks about Marketing or other non-tech aspects of entrepreneurship?
Chris Weiher
@jackosutherland Yes, definitely. Our goal is to get people sharing their work both in and out of specific applications. If you're interested in regularly sharing marketing work, let us know and we'll create a marketing channel. We started with creative professionals as the's my background and it's a great visual representation of sharing one's process but our goal is to have on-going co-working each day, reflecting anything and everything as there's a lot we can learn by simply sharing our processes.
Chris Weiher
@Malcolm_Ocean, thanks. Our idea is to create an online co-working space for all types of work. We're starting with the creative space as it shows off the potential of the idea but we're encouraging users to share their process in all types of applications including coding and even 'real-life' applications (like carpentry or yoga).

Last Monday our indiegogo campaign went live. This weekend we reached 20% funding. Our goal today is to get to $5000! https://www.indiegogo.com/projec...

Solid concept. This is closest to learning in real-time from the experienced ones.
Chris Weiher
@jitsalunke Thanks much Jit - we're starting to get some traction and we're working help evolve the way we work and learn from one another.
Joshua Dance
Looks cool. I love seeing the thought processes that go into things.
Jack Sutherland
Hey @rrhoover, lets get @chris_weiher the founder in on the conversation!
