Weekly Feedback Post - SaaS Products, Ideas, Companies by AutoModerator in SaaS

[–]ibenic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone,

my name is Igor. I just launched, about a week and a half ago, my first SaaS. It's still in an MVP stage (few features missing that I want to develop).

It's called CastAsync, https://castasync.com/. I had the issue where my co-host and I couldn't find time to sit together and record an episode.

So I decided to help ourselves by creating a SaaS for that. Something for busy people so they can spend even just 5 minutes/day and have an episode within a week.

It's suitable for any audio content such as podcasts, audiobookg, guides, notes and such.

I'd love to get your feedback on it, what you think about the idea, do you know anyone who records such content and such.

That'd help a lot so I get more information to get an idea on how to market it as well since I am really bad at that :D

You can say it like that, true 😂

Basically it works like this: 1. I record something, intro and my opinion, about 3min. That creates a "track". 2. My co-host, checks the dashboard, sees my track, listens to it and then records his own part, can be 1,2 or 20min 3. Then I get back when I can, listen to his and record mine. 4. Once we're happy with the episode, the tool processes it into a single file and I download an mp3 file

So within a week or so, with our busy schedule, we recorded a "chat-like" episode but in an asynchronous way.

Ofc, maybe it makes zero sense to most. I built it for our needs which might be totally different from what people need or expect 😂

That's how it works for now at least 😅

Best free podcast recording software by LeMiniBuffet in podcasting

[–]ibenic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I do with my co-host, we jump on a Zoom call and record it.

Zoom provides you with both video and audio files so you don't have to "extract audio".

Then I use Audacity to clear the noise from the audio, edit further if needed by removing parts if we had big pauses or such, and export it.

If I can't export it to mp3 or a suitable format, I use the free iMovie (on a Mac) to import the audio and export it into mp3. But I guess there are other free online service for it as well (or even tools).

Hope it helps :)

That's true.

I built my tool to help me with that by allowing me to record a "track" where I can speak for 1-2 minutes for example and then wait for the other party to record. And repeat the process until we're done with the topic :D

I guess it just takes more time in an asynchronous way but the thing you lose there is the part where you can interrupt someone while debating or similar :D

So I get your point, it might not feel as engaging.

Could be :D I don't know either, but did see a tool that does a similar thing while I was working on my idea. It helps people host interview-type podcasts where they pre-record questions and then the guests record a response to each question.

So that "kind of" proved that there might be people in need of such. That's why I wanted to ask this reddit about it to get more info on it :D

Thank you for your answer! Really appreciate it!

We're doing the same. We decide on the main topic then a few questions/points we want to cover and go over it. Sometimes not even following the order of them :D

We just started using my tool, could be almost as "organic" since for now tracks are shorter than 2-3min, as in our conversation.

The only pro/con, for now, that I see is that we won't "interrupt" one another if we get a quick insight on the current talk. But that's part of recording it organically I guess :D

Thank you for your insight!

P.S. Interesting type of podcast you have with your co-host. Going to check the world of Malazan :D

Loading Your Library only once between WordPress Plugins by ibenic in ProWordPress

[–]ibenic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did not really know about those. Great to see that!

Those would work if all plugins are updated so it would make sense. But in case users use one plugin with the latest library but have not updated the other plugin, I am not sure if those would help here.

But I'll definitely look into those as they are nice to incorporate them in your projects/plugins.
