Podcasts are hard to share because they are hard to immediately consume. Bullet lets you share captioned video snippets of your favourite podcasts from any podcast app so that your friends can immediately consume it.
Hi Benjamin, great app. Couple of suggestions (besides adding more time): 1. Possible to quick tap - to mark a starting point since you’re following along with your eyes, and it’s easier to synch your preferred starting point this way? 2. Possible to re-emphasise the waveform height, so quick pauses/silences are easier to spot? 3. Possible to ‘carry over’ source track ID/URL say when sharing on Twitter, so the source can be quickly attributed? 4. Possible to stack bullets - from different parts of the podcast - so you can link 3 or 4 bullets together quickly. Thanks!
I believe the Overcast app was the first to provide this (and the first to provide the basic design concept you're using), but it's great to see this catching on. It's great for podcasters!
Congrats on the app and getting to #1 on Product Hunt!
Tried this app today with a Stitcher podcast and it just hung. Never finished processing the clip. I was excited to use it, though! Ended up just sharing the link in a tweet: https://twitter.com/fosteronomo/...
As a heavy consumer of podcasts I have always wished for a better way to share key snippets...but the biggest challenge is actually that I am usually driving a car or lawn mower when I hear the bit I want to share. Some kind of voice trigger that would bookmark the clip and remind me when I'm at my laptop...or even let me share in the moment is what I most want.
@benjalimm super cool. Well executed and easy to use. I notice it worked with overcast but for some reason not with the apple podcast app. Any plans to allow different sizes for the videos (i.e. sharing for instagram etc).
@unmistakableceo Hey, thanks for letting us know. Apologies for the error! Would you be able to pass me the Apple podcast link? In regard to the different sizes - We are working on vertical video support right now!
I’ve been looking for something like this to create clips from mobile, but I can’t seem to get it to work. Really hoping whatever is causing the glitch will be fixed soon. Cheering for you guys!
Hey @alflee, perhaps partially with some elements of the UI? Since we're focused on the problem with the inability to skim podcasts, building a snippet tool without captions wouldn't really solve it at all.
Aaaaye this is so 100% the formula 🥳 Add Instagram Story exports (and integration) and I'd say you're far ahead enough of any competition to dominate the space. Is this in the works atm?
@jkspn Thank you so much for letting us know John. Sorry about this, the inference feature is new and is going to take a lot of work. Will get back to you ASAP
Hey PH! Sharing podcasts is difficult because audio is hard for the recipient to immediately consume. We’ve built a simple way to share captioned video snippets of podcasts, so your friends can simply glaze over it to get to that “ah-ha moment”. Bullet works on top of almost any podcast app on iOS, so you don’t have to switch podcast apps - simply share the link to Bullet from your podcast app of choice. We hope you find this tool useful!
F.A.Q
Will there be support for more than 15 seconds?
- We are about to launch support for up to 30s in the next day or two (Watch out for an update)
