Wavve: making $76k a month turning podcasts into videos

Re: Wavve: making $76k a month turning podcasts into videos
#22Inspired by the Overcast variant of this kind of tool, I built a very basic browser based version using canvas and various web audio/video apis. It was fun to build over a couple weekends, but it ended up not being usable broadly due to speed (runs in realtime linear) and browser limitations of file export types (webm in chrome). If ffmpeg could reliably run in wasm, there could be alternative approaches. I concluded after I built it, I should make a headless non-browser version and it would be more usable, but haven't gotten around to it.

#23Nobody should be making 76k a month when millions of hard working Americans are barely making 1k a month /s
They pay their taxes that which helps provide social safety for those Americans. Should they be paying more taxes? Probably. Vote someone in who will increase corporate taxes.
Criticizing successful people isn't the answer.

#24I wonder if it is possible to make a simple version to run entirely in the frontend, for short clips?
You can capture video and download it from canvas: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/10/capture-st...
And it looks possible to add separate audio to it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39302814/mediastream-cap....
You could also recreate the waveforms and add to the canvas: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Audio_A...,
Not widely supported, but you could try to add speech recognition too https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Speech_...

Probably possible, but what would be the advantage? I know for instance using something like Google Speech to Text API is a lot more accurate than Web Speech API.

#27Sounds nice... but Sigh , only iOS?
It’s a one-man effort (Marco Arment). It’s not reasonable to expect him to develop for multiple platforms.

#28God that's impressive. takeaway: make products for people that use computers but don't know how to use suites of tools.

I spent a day or two last week trying to get ffmpeg.js working and it was nothing but headaches. If you had more luck I'd love to learn some details.
My use case: trim and append multiple (4+) MP4s in the browser into one continuous video.

#30I was thinking maybe they used Deep-fakes to "turn podcasts into videos" haha
