this is snapchat for audio (longer decay timeline) - to coin a "X for Y" - nothing wrong with it and actually quite liberating.

Right, it’s not bad, just not what I want to use—what I had in mind was more like Twitter for audio, which this could be if not for that feature.

I'm sorry, not following. If not for what feature?

The landing page is really great, and the effort shows, the concept will also work for a number of people.

However, this is not for me as I find audio intrusive, where I would either annoy people around me to record/listen to something, or fetch earphones every time.

Even if it is not for me, I'm sure that there are a lot of people who would enjoy this and put it to good use. Good luck!

I greatly appreciate it! If you know anyone specific who would enjoy it, please feel free to send them to us ;)

After discovering Discord and having a large group of Facebook friends who are on the other side of the country or out of the country, I'm intrigued... but that could just be the intriginol I took this morning.

I'd love for you to try it out and let me know how it goes. My personal email is Darren@CurrentlyApp.io

thank you :) those were very difficult to get created.

Oh, it wasn't you?

Thoughts, mapping, idea, verbiage: all me

Actual design work: no way in heck I could ever make something that looks that good ;)

Man, while I admire your story, this is not how you advertise your app. "I'm building this because I want to fight sex trafficking"?? It just confuses potential users what the hell this app is for. I actually read the whole story, it's a good story, but in the end i was left puzzled (Is this app for reporting sex traffickers to the authorities in audio messages?) AND kind of annoyed that I spent the time reading the…

Thanks for this feedback. I'll switch which of the 2 stories shows up at the front (as opposed to which one you must click on in order to read). Sorry for the unnecessary frustration!

> I'll switch which of the 2 stories shows up at the front

Good call. Maybe back off a little more than that, even. So I'm reading your page and liking what I see. I would like to know more. Here's a thing that might have more information, so I click it. Now I'm reading a surprisingly affecting comic about a kid who's been sexually abused and the fight against sex slavery. My mental and emotional associations with your brand are suddenly a great deal more complex, and quite a bit darker, than they were. Your app suddenly has a steeper hill to climb toward making me happy enough to feel that using it is worth my while. If it fails to do so, and I don't use it, your efforts toward your honorable cause are impaired thereby. Is telling me about it really as important as maybe getting me to contribute to it in a material way?

Don't get me wrong. I like why you're doing what you're doing. But maybe "not what you want to lead with" understates the case on that one just a hair, is what I'm trying to get across here.
