I built BattMap, AMA! Living in San Francisco is hilly. Google Maps is great for bike maps, but I wanted to know if my scooter could make it up the hills, how much battery it would…

Context, this specific field for 18mths. 2yrs in saas other areas, 7 yrs solo business (not saas)

Not going to lie, that sounds so tempting. But I guess that's the point of the original question, quitting basically puts me on an entrepreneurial path

Totally fair

18mths for an AI saas product

I just don't know if recruiters or hiring managers would buy that. It feels like non-traditional career paths get penalized

I'd love to spend a year just experimenting with AI, building stuff, and documenting the whole thing. My fear is it would ruin my career trajectory and I'd become un-hire-able in t…

Thanks for the support! I sure hope so :)

That's actually quite classy! I guess reddit/HN is similar. Pseudonym on the front end with email auth. That could work here too. Thank you for the nudge, what a great idea.

Actually not as much as you would think (according to the recordings I'm getting). Though, I admit, this probably hasn't made it to "delinquent teens making farting noises" audienc…

Thanks! So far, the checks and balances I have in place to protect users and prevent abuse are holding. I hope it stays that way!

Thanks for the kind support. Glad this project found you!

It's been a mix so far! I just ran the numbers and the average is 29.4 seconds. Glad you liked the idea. I appreciate the kind words.

Oh cool! I can imagine one day 12 months later I'd be talking to the voice agent of my plumber and hearing ME scheduling in a time to get my shower fixed haha

Thanks for the heads up! I'm not sure I have the scope to support iOS versions that far back, but I'll definitely dig into it for you. Sorry for the hassles!

Wow, thanks for the support! To get the first few voice notes, I sent it to family and some colleagues. It was a smoke test to see if anyone would actually record without me litera…

Good callout. Will definitely keep that in mind. Thanks!

This made my day! Thanks for the kind support and I'm glad it landed for you. Hope you continue to enjoy it!

haha this aesthetic is very cool! Love the project, thanks for sharing. Lots of ideas in there that I could see potentially working really well for V2 or V3 of Kind Voice Notes!

Wow, thanks for sharing. Yeah, it's amazing how much of an impact a little pick-me-up can have. As this continues to gain traction, I'll just keep chipping away at keep it safe and…

Good callout

Yeah, I'm thinking through some kind of profile creation (not the right wording). My concern is if I start to strip away some of the anonymity, then it might detract from the senti…

THANK YOU for the support

I figured there was quite a big surface here for misuse. But I've done my best to curb that. You're right, that if this scales, the compute to oversee moderation would be inaccessi…
