Hah, wait, so Clubhouse is currently iPhone only? I've been hearing a lot about it but haven't been tempted to join, but now I'm learning that I couldn't even join if I wanted to??
It requires the newest version of iOS too, it's the only app my iPhone 7 won't run.
What is 'Clubhouse'? Sounds like it's some kind of audio chat app?
So you're cool if you're already in, you know?
It got hyped up when Elon Musk joined and roasted Vlad from Robinhood, and suddenly everyone wanted an invite.
It's a interesting concept, but it was driven by celebrities hype and exclusivity ... but what isn't like that currently? Stocks, Crypto, you name it.
Completely OT but might as well ask here. Does anyone know of a good replacement for Turntable.fm/Plug.dj? Social music playing/DJing experience with avatars and a chat is basically what I am after. I have a group of friends that I think might enjoy this type of thing but Turntable.fm pivoted years ago and Plug.dj, while being able to link to YouTube seems to require an API key which these non-tech folks won’t be abl…
There used to be AuxParty (a clone) but I think what comes close now is Campfire.gg — watching YouTube/FB/Twitch videos together and/or listening to Soundcloud tracks with friends (which is how I use it)

It might even be understandable if you are an underdog while bootstrapping while not having enough resources, but Clubhouse should have more than enough resource to make a simplified wannabe Discord app on Android.
Any semi-competent mobile dev should be able to do it.
Reading now other's comments makes kind of sense, Clubhouse is positioning itself as an elitist app, so of course they are trying to build exclusivity.
Good luck to them, but I personally go out of my way to not use apps or services like that. I know this might come as a shocker, but some people don't like the Apple "Stockholm syndrome" ecosystem.
I prefer my Android phone over an iPhone, even though I have and use an iPad, and I still prefer my Windows PC over a Mac for developing, even though I have a Mac ( I only use it for signing apps for iOS).
Looks like having a different taste and preferring a choice is unpopular in this decade.

Funkwhale is a self hosted/federated option that I believe is similar to what you're looking for. Apologizes if not
Developer here in case anyone has any questions.
why does it send traffic to China?
why is audio sent over unencrypted UDP in 2021?
who in their right minds would want to listen to footage of what are essentially meeting recordings. I get why people who are enchanted by their own voice, and want to get on it to hear themselves talk, but why on earth would anyone else want to listen to boring audio of people dialogue. it sounds flippant but it's an honest question. the ratio of those who derive utility from this is skewed tremendously toward the speaker (not the listener)
why no ADA compliance?
why the unenforcable ToS?
why no sane way for users to unsubscribe from the service? (not compliant with GDPR)

That's been the traditional way of launching new apps—iPhone development is way easier and iPhone owners are way wealthier.
Don’t know why you’re getting down voted for stating 2 facts. Don’t shoot the messenger.
Btw, I'm sure you'll be pretty surprised finding out how much current iphone 5 owners make a year..
