I built a product demo tool that lets you export and self-host your demos

While working on one of my own products, I wanted an interactive demo I could embed and keep online.

The problem was that most of the decent options felt like renting the demo forever. For something that might not change for months, paying a recurring subscription just to keep it alive didn’t make much sense.

So I built PokeDemo.

The idea is simple:

record a product flow
edit the steps
add tooltips, styling, and zoom
export the result as a bundle
self-host it wherever you want

You can record, edit, and preview for free.
Payment only happens on the first export, and re-exports are free after that.

I wanted demo creation to feel more like creating an asset you own, not something you keep paying for just to exist.

Under the hood, the product leans into a developer-friendly workflow too, since the final demo is meant to fit into your own stack instead of living forever on someone else’s platform.

I’d really love feedback:

Does the export + self-host model sound genuinely useful?

For something like this, where would you use it first: landing pages, onboarding, docs, or sales?
