I built a subtitle tool after 2 years of freelance editing — because every existing one drove me crazy
I've spent 2 years as a freelance video editor.
The subtitle workflow was always the worst part. Every tool I tried had at least one dealbreaker:
— Too expensive ($30-50/month for something I use occasionally)
— Painfully slow (5 min wait for a 10 min video)
— Desktop only (no mobile support whatsoever)
— Overcomplicated (10 steps just to add subtitles)
So I built Subeo. It uses Groq Whisper for near-instant transcription, runs fully in the browser, works on mobile, and has no subscription — you pay only for what you use.
19 users so far, some paying. Still very early.
We also just launched on Product Hunt today if you want to show some love 👇

Genuinely would love brutal feedback — what would make you actually switch from your current tool?
