Yes same! I also want to set it up so I can create a comment and then send it to my friend. Meaning I'm listening to a podcast think of an idea I want to share, record my comment, share with a friend/ friends now we're talking about the podcast on the podcast. This is one of the major plans for app.
Thanks! I think it still has a ways to go, my bigger concern now is how to make the non visual experience feel/sound great. Auto playing, notifying the transition to a new comment, etc.
For sure, when nested comments are added audio will link to each other more easily and the distinction between a "new recording" and a "comment" will be less. Instead audio will just be linked to where you recorded it.
I've already replaced a few group chats, it's good for conversations that aren't urgent like talking about ideas.
The idea came when a few friends and I wanted to "start a podcast" but ultimately didn't want to actually share what we were talking about. We also were spread out all around the world so we started uploading short audios to a google drive.
I hadn't thought about the consulting use case much yet but I think for lectures/ education this could be a potential game changer. I suppose any Q&A style talk could benefit form the format - thanks for the ideas!
Thanks for the feedback! I agree the into audio sounds a bit robotic. And yes the speed of the app in general is horrible - a lot of low hanging speeding optimizations on my list tho
Yes I think of it as a response being a valid piece of content. For example if you recorded the above message in audio and I wanted to respond after your first paragraph then my response maybe:
[context] (your audio) "adding to conversation isn't part of canon content."
(my audio) "I disagree I think adding to the conversation can be just as valuable especially if content is filtered correctly meaning you'd only see comments from people you followed"
Something like that. But yes I do agree this is a huge issue and basically if it can't be solved then the app will fail.
I think the use case won't be to replace a typical podcaster but imagine if we're both in a group and discussing a podcast on the podcast - that's more how I see it
