It will be an advertising based revenue model.

Weird, that shouldn't have happened. You're not supposed to get any ads until you've listened to at least X amount of waves. May I ask what platform you were on?

Were you on android or iOS, I was pretty sure it requested access for both, but I'll look into it for sure!

we're hoping to do a web-based version. Would this work for you?

I've thought about a tagging system for topic, but to begin we're trying to keep everything as streamlined as possible (shortest amount of time between creating the story and having it out there).

Would you prefer this video instead? It's more serious which is why I didn't use it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91mt9ZRLGpI

Thanks so much for the feedback. I'm asking the developers about automatically removing blank waves. That seems like a big win. Otherwise we might have to have it as an option under "report" and rely on the community (at leas

An About Us page is a great idea! Thanks! I'm thinking either that or an FAQ answering some of the questions we've gotten through Hacker News. Also, I feel very exposed now that you know about the 7DollarYear :P

My friend gave me full permission to use this story, but after seeing all of the feedback, I'm thinking of putting it into an FAQ. Would you consider that a good spot for it?
11.
by dl_terp 10y ago
This is great feedback, thanks! I'm thinking of putting it into an FAQ page, would that work for you? My worry is that if I put it into a blog post, eventually no one will see it due to the short term nature of blog post discovery.

She is doing well and gave me permission to share her story and this comic. Thanks for the feedback, I'm definitely taking everything into consideration as far as where that comic should go

That was an amazing response. You've put me over the edge, i'm getting on this right now :)

by dl_terp 10y ago
Yeah, we're going after the "stories" angle right now, but if we ever pivot I'll let you know ;)

I just started clapping when I read this. Thank you ovibos for a good Tuesday night chuckle. :)

I haven't. I'll look into it! Is there anything specific they do that you wish we did?

I've never found the source of that statistic, but a non-profit I work closely with is called The Exodus Road. Through them it takes $3000 to fund the investigative work leading up to a brothel raid. They then estimate that for every p

Yes, right now you can save a wave and it'll stay for I think 6 months, but I'm talking to my devs to see if we can get it to save to the users phone for the long term (not limited). We'll see what happens with that.

by dl_terp 10y ago
Awesome! I'll kick it over to the developers and see what we can do about getting it web-based / on desktop. :)

by dl_terp 10y ago
Yeah, I've thought about that. But I'm hoping on two things. First, that if you are just sharing it across friends, it doesn't matter the "skill level" of the sharer. Second, that there will be enough value even if

Thanks! Appreciate it!

by dl_terp 10y ago
At this point only Android and iOS app only. Is there a reason you need web-based?
23.
by dl_terp 10y ago
Thanks for the feedback! We're bootstrapping over here so we did the best with what we had available. If you know of anyone who can help clean this up (or who makes amazing videos at an affordable price) please let me know :)

Essentially everything is run from a queue. It's either the public queue (called the Ocean) which runs from most popular on down, or it is the private queue (called the Stream) which runs from oldest to newest. And yes, it should auto-

Can I just say, when I found Anchor on ProductHunt I nearly died. Their theme and even some verbiage was the same. But in reality they're going after more of the podcast audience / angle. I'm trying to position currently as b

I haven't yet. It's on the to-do list though. I might try to do it tonight.

Unfortunately not, but we're working very hard right now so that iOS's voice over works flawlessly throughout the app. That way the blind and visually impaired community can use it as well.

So for #2, I think that this is where you need to be selective on who you follow. It won't be a Facebook where you have hundreds of people. Rather more like 15 or 20 people you really care about and like their stories. I think that&#x2

may I ask if others feel this way? My sharing this is because I think it's an important part of the story and why we created Currently, but I don't want it to have a "dark aura" around the app by any means. Does anyone e
