I had fun playing with this app during the beta (the Captioned team is using Ship) and made a video dedicated to my favorite middle school jams. 🎶
This is clearly an evolution of Bumpers. I'm curious to hear the backstory and what the plans are for the Bumpers app, @iano, @_sdunn_, @linalovesit.
@rrhoover It is definitely an evolution and started as a feature for Bumpers. But once we started playing with them we felt like the media type was really unique to itself and wanted to give it the room it deserved to breath. We also felt like a minute time limit really worked for these, but doesn't work as well for just audio.
Jacob also happened to already own captioned.com so it seemed to all line up to do it as its own app, where you could know what to expect, rather than having these videos live alongside audio.
No current plans to sunset Bumpers, although I think it would be great to figure out a way to combine the two at some point. But for now we are definitely having fun with Captioned and really excited by this weird new thing we stumbled upon.
Fun as hell. Love working with yall. SO excited to see what people make so I can feature all over socials including our BEAUTIFUL INSTAGRAM (cough cough follow!) @captionedvideo
