Important advantages

  • Downloads are well protected. Flaunt Files use PDF and audio files. Neither of them can be easily downloaded. This is an important feature as many are there who actually want to showcase the work without letting people freely distribute the PDF. If you really wanted to distribute the PDF there are so many other ways of doing that -- so there is no download the PDF feature for your Flaunt files

  • Flaunt Files retains the same viewing link. Flaunt Files uses the same link all the time; even if you change the PDF and/or the underlying video. This means that you can use a "release fast, release often" strategy without worrying that people may see an older version or an outdated version. This is a big problem in You Tube videos and many pre-recorded videos: You cannot change the video which is accessed by the link to a You Tube video. If something was wrong or outdated in a You Tube video, the author has no choice but to create a new video (which has a new link)

  • Flaunt File audio length is not tied to the pages. In conventional videos, not only is the entire video fixed, but each part of the audio narration in the video has to retain fit into the same time as the visuals presented in that part of the video. This is not the case with Flaunt Files. You are free to shorten/lengthen each audio independent of what is being shown for that page. This makes audio editing/re-uploading very easy and flexible.

  • Payment can be done incrementally as your file/audio grows. You can keep incrementally paying for Flaunt Files. Each time you pay, our server recalculates the total amount paid till that point in time, and reassigns the amount of pages your flaunt file can have. Note that we allot only 1 minute per page of audio time, so if you want more audio time you would have to make payment for more pages. Also, each time you pay (whatever be the amount); the duration gets extended till the next 3 months, and an additional set of views would be possible.

  • Use graphically rich embedded links for your Flaunt File. When you set the metadata for your Flaunt File, it helps create the correct embedded link when sharing on FB, Twitter etc. So it would be your brand's image and description that would come in the preview. Also, you can set two further links that are available when your viewers click on the "Outline" icon at the bottom of the Flaunt File.

  • No advertisements from our side. We do not place advertisements in any Flaunt File. If you are in the business of promoting advertisements via your Flaunt File, go right ahead!

  • Distribute Flaunt Files privately. You can distribute a Flaunt File privately too. This can be quite powerful when you want your users to pay for your content. Also, instead of giving one password for all your paid viewers, you can set any number of individual name + password combo for a private flaunt file; and distribute one pair to each of your viewers separately. Thereby reduce the amount of sharing of password.

  • We do not tie anyone down with subscriptions. Everyone who registers gets an account on our system for life. You just pay for what you use and distribute. So you can always pause the usage without worrying about paying subscriptions. Also, when a Flaunt File expires; we do not delete it. It simply does not get seen (we say it is "frozen"). If you want to flaunt it again, just pay the minimum amount for it and extend the viewing duration by another 3 months.

  • Commenting... without getting herded into making comments Registered viewers (i.e. those who have accounts here) can comment on any of the Flaunt Files they have access to. However, the comments are only between the viewer and the author. That means, others who commented cannot read comments made by others (and those replies). This should improve the quality of the commenting, as often comments that people make on social media are influenced subtly or otherwise because everything can be read. Also, the comments do not carry the name of the commenter; which should give a lot more freedom of expression. Feel free to report offensive comments to us.

  • Placing likes ... again without the herd mentality Registered viewers can place a "like" (or remove an earlier "like") on a Flaunt File. The Flaunt File itself will not publicly display the amount of likes placed on a Flaunt File. However, our Flaunt Cast website will have some clue. Of course, the author privately can get to know the number of likes.

  • Audio tracks can be paused and restarted Viewer can now enjoy the PDF without the distraction of the audio track, if so required. Quite useful when the viewer is concentrating after having gone thru the Flaunt File page.

Road map

  • A "Flaunt Cast" website is coming up. A gallery of all the publicly accessible flaunt files is coming up soon. The gallery can be searched via tags.
