Sure! Previously, podcasters and musicians didn't have a very engaging way to share audio on social media. We built Wavve so creators can easily convert audio files into a branded video with an animated waveform. Here's our Twitter and Instagram accounts with some examples of what's possible:

I did not catch what the animation was. I thought it maybe was some sort of power point swipes between images from the studio or something.

That sounds tacky but I remember watching a clip from a Bill Burr podcast where he talked about super rich middle easterners bringing their gold Ferrari’s to London. It had a slide show super imposed with pictures of such cars in London and it Really helped bring the story to life.

Thanks. Do you generate the subtitles as well with text to speech or do the creators upload the transcript themselves?

> Wavve automatically generates a transcription of your audio and makes adding captions to generated videos a breeze.

Oh, doesn't seem like very much.

It really doesn't. An experienced dev could recreate the core features in a web app within two weeks or less.

The more difficult part:

- Understanding the work that goes into making and releasing a podcast

- Figuring out that a step in the process is not being done efficiently

- Determining a balanced set of features whose delivery and maintenance cost is low enough that people in industry will benefit from paying for them

- Marketing your software to potential customers

- Convincing them that they will benefit from purchasing your software

- Maintaining the software to satisfy your customer base

- Exploring and releasing new features to stay ahead of your inevitable competition if the product is successful

- Taking the initial risk to start development

But everybody here knows that already.

Also want to chime in that just building the core features (or shall I say a very simplistic version of the core features assuming two weeks time) isn't going to make an app successful. Rather, it's handling the endless amount of edge cases and the different ways your customers will end up using your product.

$76k/mo sounds like quite a lot to me!

Sounds like the person to whom you're responding is talking about the development effort, not the revenue.

I can't say it's my best moment, but they were belittling OP's achievements so I was belittling their statement. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a joke, but I thought it might show a bit of support for OP
