Genti Audio – Stories and podcasts in African languages
Hi all, Eke here, co-founder of Genti Audio. Genti Audio is a mobile app for streaming and downloading Africa-focused audiobooks, stories, and podcasts in regional and local African languages. In September 2021, my sister and I sat down to work on an audio show exploring Nigeria’s cultural and linguistic diversity. As we began to put the show together, we realized that our target audience- Nigerians and Africans in both urban and rural areas, were not heavily present on any of the major audio platforms for this type of content.

In plain words
Genti Audio is a mobile app that streams and downloads audiobooks, stories, and podcasts focused on African content in regional and local African languages. Created to address a distribution gap for audiences in urban and rural areas across Africa, the app targets Nigerians and other African listeners seeking culturally relevant audio content in their native languages. The platform launched in August 2022 and aims to make African-language audio content more accessible than it is on major audio platforms.

Hi all, Eke here, co-founder of Genti Audio. Genti Audio is a mobile app for streaming and downloading Africa-focused audiobooks, stories, and podcasts in regional and local African languages. In September 2021, my sister and I sat down to work on an audio show exploring Nigeria’s cultural and linguistic diversity. As we began to put the show together, we realized that our target audience- Nigerians and Africans in both urban and rural areas, were not heavily present on any of the major audio platforms for this type of content. Recognizing this, we decided to first fix this distribution gap, and so the idea for Genti was born. From just an idea, we began pooling resources and soon started developing our beta app. And after months of hard work building, scouring for content, and raising funds from supportive friends and family, we are very excited to announce the launch of our mobile app. We will continue to improve the app and roll out more features over the next 4 months. Download the App now on Google Play or the Apple App Store and start listening! At Genti, our mission is to amplify African stories and voices to entertain, educate, and enrich lives. In line with our mission, we’ll spend the next 3 - 6 months getting the best entertaining and educative African audio content out there and curating for our users. We also believe that for every African story told there are hundreds waiting to be told, and that’s why we’ve begun working on developing engaging original content available exclusively on our platform. Genti is committed to playing a vital role in developing and deepening audio storytelling on the continent. To download the app, visit the Genti website, or download directly from Google Play and the Apple App store and start listening! If you’ve got a podcast, audiobook, or story you’d like to upload on Genti, please send an email to [email protected] and we’ll be in touch. We’d also love to get feedback from you on your experience with the Genti App.

Hi HN, I've been working on AfriTales, a flutter based mobile app that brings African folktales into modern stories narrated episodes wrapped in a children and adult friendly UI player. The stories are created to cover north, south, west and east Africa. I think of it as a digital by-the-fire-side. Why AfriTales: Cultural relevance: There is a gap in culturally-rich audio-native storytelling apps for Africans, the diaspora and people interested in African stories. Modern Influence: Modern UI makes the the app feel elegant and emotionally resonant. Retention via structure: Episodes are short…

Hey HN, I've been working on https://pornpen.ai, a site for generating adult images. Please only visit the site if you are 18+ and willing to look at NSFW images. This site is an experiment using newer text-to-image models. I explicitly removed the ability to specify custom text to avoid harmful imagery from being generated. New tags will be added once the prompt-engineering algorithm is fine-tuned further. If the servers are overloaded, take a look at the feed and search pages to look through past results.
