    If the startup has failed, it is highly unlikely that you would be able to get any $ from them. Even if you go after the founders personally, they likely don't have any cash and it…

    I will add, the fasting from food and water is the easy part. The more important fast is fasting from everything that is bad -- cursing, backbiting, lying, etc -- and from your own…

    Thanks for the feedback. The next update of the app (tomorrow) will have many less outputs selected by default, thus less credits used. We definitely need an onboarding as well. An…

    Hey! We're thinking about adding a CarPlay app where you can just tap record on the screen (and tell siri to start a recording). Would that be helpful? Also, >10m recording length …
