Hey HN! I've been working on this app for a while now. I launched on my personal twitter a month ago and it went viral among the tech & VC crowd haha.
http://tldl.app/appThe app Too Long; Didn't Listen - is a podcast bookmarking app where you can make bookmarks of any show that's available openly via rss feeds. And you can discover new shows via bookmarks that other people have made.
Podcasts are openly available on RSS feeds, which is great but sadly there hasn't been any fundamental changes to the listening experience and all the podcast apps pretty much look and work the same. So here's my attempt at creating something completely different in the space.
Main features include:
- You can make bookmarks with a tap of a button.
- You can follow your friends and other top bookmarkers, it's social.
- The feed is inspired by tiktok. There are "following" & "featured" categories where you can see some of the best bookmarks and also see bookmarks from the people you're following.
- there's also a "subscribed" feed where you can see latest episodes from the podcast shows you're following + a grid view similar to pocket casts to see your subscribed shows.
- Another important feature is you can find new bookmarks via famous people. Ex: you can find all the episodes elon musk was in.
- You can make bookmarks from your existing podcast apps via the share extension
- you can also create your own categories
- oh it also has a very unique app icon ;)
