I rarely write reviews, but I had to for Dadan! I'm currently creating a self-paced course, and I tried Loom, Descript, and Riverside to do so and was struggling for various reasons like 1) sharing a desktop window (not a browser tab), 2) each of the products demanding so much power that my computer was overheating and making the fan run LOUDLY (not ideal for a video lesson), and 3) experiencing weird audio clicking sounds when using my mic.

I tried Dadan's desktop app beta and it's been perfect! It doesn't overheat my computer, the sound quality is crisp, and the experience is smooth.

The ONLY thing I don't like is the built-in video editor. The "scissors" to cut out certain parts of the video on a separate track instead of just allowing us to split the video and delete parts as needed is tedious. My current workaround is exporting the video from Dadan and editing it in CapCut. I'd love to see an upgrade here as working directly in-platform would make my life a whole lot easier.

Overall though, I love the product and would definitely upgrade to a higher tier if/when Dadan ever returns to Appsumo. So, thank you!
