Squawk

Hey Product Hunt! Super excited to launch my first product, Squawk. Squawk will turn your Tweets into engaging videos for sharing on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The idea for Squawk came from seeing Gary V share videos of Tweets on his Instagram and LinkedIn pages. These videos make it look like the Tweet is being typed out in real time. These posts consistently get a lot of engagement and definitely play to the social media platform algorithms. I made Squawk as easy to use as possible, just input the URL of a Tweet and wait about 30 seconds for your video. Benefits of Squawk: + 35% more engagement on Instagram/Facebook + 40% cheaper cost-per-click on ads + You can actually share video Tweets (previously I would screen record and this is a real pain) + Easy content repurposing + Let people know you're on Twitter. People who already follow you on Instagram or LinkedIn are 12x more likely to follow you on Twitter (compared with the general public) Current gotcha: - No support yet for emojis - they will be automatically removed from your Tweet There is a free watermarked version, or you can pay $1/video or $9/month for unlimited, non-watermarked videos. I'm using https://floom.app to handle user management, billing, and subscriptions. For everyone that is paying for a subscription, just drop me a message in the chat and I'll refund 100% of your first month's payment. I'm relatively new to the game and I would love any feedback. I have a couple of features lined up (dark mode, supporting threads, video intro/outro) and I'm looking to prioritize based on user requests. Edit: Dark mode now available!

This will easily get old and saturated once everyone starts using this

Pretty neat. We use Anchor and similar tools to create video clips for podcast audio snippets and they perform well on social. Fun to see this way of animating written content. I could see it being a great way to re-share viral tweets and quotes. One thing I'll say is that I'd never heard of Floom as a payment processor before so the signup process felt like I was taking a risk. It would be nice to have a checkout flow I recognise e.g. Stripe or PayPal.
