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.


It's not yet possible, but is planned. I haven't thought too much about it but you're right for lectures that would be extremely helpful.


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.


Yes, nested comments are coming very soon, hopefully this month. It will make it a lot more like a git branching system!


Good point, yes I think even the ability to title a comment could be a huge addition - thanks for the suggestion!


Very good point, thanks for the feedback!


Yes I think something like this in education can be great, group projects/ discussions seem like a good use case


Good suggestion about the demo, thank!

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!
