    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,…

    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 ju…

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

    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. W…

    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 …

    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 t…

    I like this idea, give people control over where they allow others to comment. I'll think more deeply into this thanks

    Yes 100%. This is definitely planned. My thinking with delaying it was this the following: - Launch with only private channels and get a decent sized user base recording content. -…
