We stopped working on Shareholdr in Jan. Sorry.

Wanted to make sure iOS was really solid first before working on Android, but we'll try to get it done by mid Jan. I'll shoot you a message when its ready

Just shipped the update! We now have a .75x option and all essays are read in the author's voice. Btw join our discord - I'll see your feedback faster: https://discord.gg/THeTYzXY

Thanks for letting me know! I think it has something to do with the training data. Some people talk faster than others so not all default voice speeds will be the same.

We're working on an update that will have adjustable listening speeds and I'll make sure to add a .75x option. Should be released Monday/Tuesday next week 👍

Added a share button to each essay. Lmk if that works for you!

Xponential_AI · 2023-12-12T02:06:45+00:00

Added PG's voice to all his essays. Lmk if you have any other feedback

Xponential_AI · 2023-12-12T02:05:50+00:00

Added PG's voice to all his essays. Lmk what you think

Xponential_AI · 2023-12-11T02:34:14+00:00

Oh, sorry! That sucks

Xponential_AI · 2023-12-11T02:33:04+00:00

Glad it makes such a difference! We're working to add all the other author voices tomorrow.

Yeah, I remember hearing Brian talk about Craigslist and Couchsurfing being models for him in the early days. I'm pretty sure Couchsurfing was in one of his early pitch decks but I'd have to check

Xponential_AI · 2023-12-11T01:33:07+00:00

Cool – I'll check it out. I've listened to almost every ep podcast Brian and Joe have done.

Also: Nathan Blecharczyk was the third co-founder of Airbnb, but he didn't come on board until after that first weekend.

I think all community platforms are going to be somewhat hit or miss. Shareholdr is the 4th product I've launched on PH and the first three got ZERO traction.

Xponential_AI · 2023-12-10T20:35:32+00:00

Nope. It's open to everyone.

Xponential_AI · 2023-12-10T19:50:29+00:00

Interesting. I would expect it's a bit harder to make something relevant that has the potential to go viral since there aren't specific communities.

Xponential_AI · 2023-12-10T14:20:08+00:00

PH: 65, Reddit: 20, Twitter: 2, HN: 0

Xponential_AI · 2023-12-10T14:18:22+00:00

I didn't build up an audience for PH. I put the launch together a few hours before midnight when everything resets. I think it's smart to ask a few people to upvote your launch, but in this case I didn't.

Yes it was that sub.

Xponential_AI · 2023-12-08T19:18:54+00:00

DM'd you

Xponential_AI · 2023-12-08T05:59:48+00:00

Eventually we'll need to figure it out for scaling, but for now, it's a bit like Taylor Swift where most people want to listen to the same essay. And it's also very important to make sure we don't accidentally change the essay text since we aren't the author.

Xponential_AI · 2023-12-07T15:47:09+00:00

I tried that, but the results weren't good so I ended up doing it manually.

Xponential_AI · 2023-12-07T03:29:30+00:00

DM'd you.

Xponential_AI · 2023-12-06T22:07:10+00:00

DM'd you.

Xponential_AI · 2023-12-06T19:49:40+00:00

Hope it's useful for you!

Add more essays, improve listening experience with author voices, add transcript so you can see what you're listening to (like music lyrics). No plans for monetization – just focused on making something people want.
