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.

#52However, 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!

#55The landing page is really great, and the effort shows, the concept will also work for a number of people.

#56After 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.

#60Man, 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!
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.
