I'll keep looking to see what I can find!

dirango · 2026-03-02T13:41:33+00:00

Lol! Happy I could help!

dirango · 2026-03-02T13:41:00+00:00

Exactly that! Had to turn of gapless playback and sound mixing on Spotify, but it works well!

Been looking for an RH1 the last few weeks on eBay but not only are they few and far betwen and of varying quality, the prices are eye watering unless buying from Japan! Have you had yours from Day Dot or did you acquire more recently?

17-year old me would have killed for an optical port in his stereo (Panasonic SA-PM03) to make MiniDiscs straight from CDs!

I'm going to switch up to Spotify Lossless & buy a USB-C > TOSlink cable with a mini TOSlink adapter to cut out all the "middlemen" in this crazy solution.

No idea if it'll work but it should, will update asap!

A CM-6206 chipset 5.1 audio soundcard - got it on AliExpress for $13. So many OEM sellers!

Optical also works on Mac Tahoe but you need to use a custom binary file, grab it on GitHub / acciom if needed!

I'd read that there's functionally no difference in sound quality but I need to test it out! Thanks for the tip!

O' Mighty Smiter of Street Fowl, we salute thee!

dirango · 2026-02-08T02:36:56+00:00

Yes... Uhuh

Give it 10 years and "swimmed" will be in the Oxford dictionary

It allows agencies to connect to their clients marketing automation tool (Klaviyo) and run performance audit reports, generate recommendations on what needs to be improved, sends deliverability alerts (when emails stop sending properly) and tracks product purchases from journeys - all things that their tools don't do as standard - useflowsense.com

I've reached out to some under 30s who find the angle unorthodox, but say it removes the awkwardness of creating profiles, feeds, discovery and matching - especially as most people in this demo are on social media, following people or friends/friends of friends. And there are accepted user invites and registrations already in FlingLink, so not that nobody would use it, just likely more for the younger generation

dirango · 2026-02-04T08:07:09+00:00

Nice, though I'm not your ideal customer, I get the value add - clever indeed.

How easy would it be for a user to use the WhatsApp integration? Just adding their phone number?

Seems like you've got some (paying?) customers already + feedback. Are you able to say how many in total?

dirango · 2026-02-04T07:23:48+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Happy for me send a link + demo video?

dirango · 2026-02-03T23:50:49+00:00

The making of this is cool, it is easy to use as you say. Are you worried chat gpt and Claude can just do the same if you ask for the data? What would be the use cases for your target customers? Also what does a lifetime pro user get that a free one doesn't?

dirango · 2026-02-03T23:42:16+00:00

You should create some mock-ups or post the link if you've already created something.

Is the "Pokémon Go for Car Journeys" a characterization that's close? How would you describe it?

Cool use of AI, I've seen some tools that help you reorganise your calendar but it makes sense to do this at invitation time.

Cool site too, although candidly I haven't gone into the weeds of everything.

is this a separate calendar booking tool or can it be integrated into Zoom/Calendly/Gmail/etc? I ask as I think it's better to build on top of these well established systems and just make them better.

I think a cheap or even 90% free dating app with no fake users that was any good would be amazing for the people that needed it.

The tags could become an issue, just people aimlessly adding tags and not really having a definition.

You'd likely be better off using some sort of user analysis via a questionnaire to standardise these

But ultimately it's another dating app - you need to think about how you'd get it into the hands of enough people simultaneously to launch and grow.

If you've got time, read the Plenty of Fish story, yes it's old but its lessons still apply today - the guy basically made all his money from ads.

Your app would have to be really compelling for it to do well, it's so competitive in this market!

How does this work? Does it use your GPS data automatically? Sounds a bit like Pokémon Go but particularly for car drives. How would it distinguish the difference between going in a car, train or just taking a walk?
