@samdebrule Hey Sam! We’ve been avid podcast fans for a number of years and always had various frustrations with the options we could get our hands on. It was tough to find great new creators to listen to and sharing content with friends usually meant they never opened that 1 hour episode you’d send them.
With LISN we wanted to build a platform that didn’t force you to first figure out what show to jump into, but instead could give you content for whatever topic you’re interested in. Even if you have no idea which creators talk about that space. We’ve found users appreciate this format as it ends up helping them find new creators after they’ve already had a chance to listen to some clips from their show. Helping those creators simultaneously grow their audience!
Congrats on the launch team, great intro video btw @mattdickeyman! Are you thinking about adding a web app or even better a PWA? Good luck!
@milkers Hey Mustafa, we actually have a web app that's live! We wanted to make it really easy for anyone to listen to Clips & Conversations even if they don't have the LISN app installed or are on their desktop.
You can check it out here https://play.lisnclips.app/#/con.... We use Flutter which makes it easy to deploy on multiple platforms like iOS, Android & Web. It also makes PWA support super easy which we've rolled out as well.
LISN makes curating valuable sales & leadership content easy. Gone are the days where you listen to a 1 hour podcast, hear something impactful, and completely forget where you found it. With the clip feature you can save a segment, share with a friend, and store for later. Never going back to the old way of taking in podcasts!
@david_andrews Obviously I love this too but I truly believe a lot of very valuable information gets lost in podcasts. We want to make it really easy to surface all of that.
Hey everyone! 👋🏾
We’ve created LISN to make it easy for anyone to consume more diverse opinions on the topics they’re interested in.
Have you ever heard a conversation during a podcast that really piqued your interest and as soon as you wanted to hear more the hosts start discussing something else? Or have you ever wanted to learn about a specific topic but wanted multiple different perspectives on it? Well, that’s exactly where LISN comes in.
LISN uses AI and user-generated podcast clips to curate the best moments from different podcasts into topic-based playlists, what we like to call Conversations! We pull together different creators and their perspectives so you can form a better understanding of the things you care about. Things like...
What are the benefits of CBD?
How can we live more sustainably?
Are the Boston Celtics winning the NBA Championship or exiting in the first round?
How does Universal Basic Income benefit a country?
Listen to every angle of these issues with podcast playlists.
But don’t stop there. Anyone can create a clip from a podcast to save for later or send to a friend. You can even create and share your own podcast Conversation based on any topic you want.
LISN’s available on both iOS and Android!
A huge shoutout to @robjama for hunting for us! 🙏🏾
We’d love to hear any and all feedback you have! We’re constantly working on making the product better for everyone, so AMA! We’ll be here all day.
@robjama @zameer_masjedee Nice!! congrats on the launch. I would say we are in the media space but trying to tackle a different problem. Https://etha.one
I would check it out and maybe, if you are interested, we could partner in some way to share values! I love the idea and the problem that it's solving! CONGRATS!
Wow - been looking for something like this for a while now, especially the clip function so I'm really excited about giving it a go! Congratulations on the Launch 🚀🚀
@maxwellcdavis Thanks Maxwell! We want to make clipping as seamless as possible so it doesn't take away from you getting to experience the podcast you're enjoying. We also incorporated bookmarks so that you can save specific spots in any clip or episode for easy reference later. Whether to listen back to or as a starting point to create a clip whenever you're able to do so. Would love to hear what you think!
Congrats on the launch @mattdickeyman, @zameer_masjedee, and the rest of the team! The product looks great. Finding and sharing the playlist very helpful. Good luck!
@ak_k1 Thanks AK! We wanted to make it easy to listen to playlists anywhere and share them with people who have the app and those who don't. Try creating a playlist of your own to share as well!
For someone who isn't a very active podcast listener, LISN makes it easy for me to discover different perspectives and podcasts on topics. It lowers the bar drastically to find relevant points and actually save them for a later time with notes about your thoughts. LISN puts LISNers first!
@dharshatharan Thanks a ton for the support Dharsh! And we may have to steal that tag line at the end there 👀
Been using this app for a while now! These folks are really onto something. The best part is that the clip playlists (what they're calling "conversations") only get better the more users that are on the platform. So this product hunt launch better go crazy!
@rayhan_memon One of our users from day one. Thanks so much for the support Rayhan!
This app is great and the interface is super easy. I listen to lots of podcasts and its very convenient to be able to clip important sections of long podcasts and share. My favourite feature is organizing clips into groups on a particular topic called "conversations". Really like where these guys are going with this. Awesome work!
I listen to many science podcasts where they cover multiple topics and being able share just the topic I find interesting to my friends IS HUGE! I don’t have to tell them “skip to this”, “listen for only this long”, I just do that myself!
@logan_gell Good friends share clips, not episodes. Easy to make life easier for people and hopefully have them actually listen to what you share vs ignore it because they don't have the time!
I love finding new content thats relevant to me. The app really aligns with LISN’s goal of doing this!
As a podcast listener and creator, LISN has been great for discovering new content and sharing mine in digestible snippets. It's so easy to go back and find sections that resonate to play back again and again. Congrats to the LISN team on the PH launch!
@david_oladejo We think it's super helpful for creators to be able to share smaller sections of their podcasts.
Without LISN I wouldn't be listening to podcasts today, thanks very much for this helpful and straight forward app! The bookmarks are an absolute game-changer and I love how the recommendations feel especially tapered with my interests.
@vendible_claw We're working on ways to make creating and sharing bookmarks even easier! You can even create them without interacting with the app at all, just try quickly pausing and then playing whatever clip/episode you're listening too and we'll create one for you automatically!
I've often found myself wanting to share a segment of the podcast with my partner, friends, family, but have had no way to do so easily without a lot of work - find the time marker, take note, share, text the time of interest, hope they listen and for long enough too...
That's what brought me to LISN.
What's made me continue to use LISN is the Conversations. We live in a world where opinions are polarized, content is everywhere, and recommendation algorithms tip the scales in one direction. LISN gives me diversity of thought through Conversations and allows me to discover interesting and diverse points of view. This makes me curious and wanting more on a topic, and leaves me more informed than before.
I ❤ LISN
@brett_bullock Love to hear all of that Brett. Let us know if there's anything else we can improve on!
Great approach for applications related to podcasts. Creating our own playlists from the topics we are interested in is really a powerful feature. Congrats 🎉
LISN has been such a game changer in how I listen to podcasts. Now I can clip and save segments I care about to listen to again in the future. I used to listen to podcasts and forget everything I'd hear. Not anymore thanks to LISN.
@reaganbradley Thanks Reagan. I have a pretty bad memory so I need to LISN to things multiple times before I internalize them. That's why shorter clips really help me. Glad you like it!
Heyday
