Ever since I released the very first version of my jQuery plugin to fake Facebook Messenger interactions on an iPhone →, I thought that it was an ideal candidate to build an editor around it because in order to use the project in HTML/CSS/jQuery-based web-projects, there was always a certain amount of coding which had to be done.

BotPreview became that editor.

In a nutshell, BotPreview allowed to sketch a possible course of a conversation and experiment with it before writing a single line of code. Such conversation mocks can be exported either as generated HTML/JavaScript (using my plugin), or as an MP4 video, or can be shared online.

Target audience are marketers, entrepreneurs and designers.

Update: On May 10th, 2020, I pulled the plug and shut down BotPreview to focus entirely on my spare time project 20 Seconds. I’ve written more detail about that here.
