Hi HN,

I'm the founder of Foundbite, we're a two person team working out of London building an app that revolves around capturing, sharing and exploring sound!

There are tonnes of photo and video apps, but very few for the sounds we hear around us every day even though they play a big part of the atmosphere and feeling of a place or experience.

As well as having the normal feed, profile and following Foundbite also has an interactive soundscape/ map of the world that allows you to find a place you're interested in and listen to the sounds that have been recorded there.

People have been using Foundbite to capture the sounds of nature, sports events and music. Here are some great examples: Street Music in New Orleans: https://foundbite.co/8408101742 Bullet train in Taiwan: https://foundbite.co/3188702070 Lighthouse on Rhode Island: https://foundbite.co/6846855499 A mountain stream in Italy: https://foundbite.co/9459134084

Yesterday, we launched on Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foundbite....) but we also have a Windows Phone app (http://windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/foundbite/243343f7-3...) and currently working on iPhone.

Would love to get some feedback, and chat about the idea with anyone who's interested!
