My husband quit his job to build a new social audio app with Flutter
Wife of an app-builder here. My husband quit his full time job at Apple to work full-time last year on a new social audio app where you are anonymous and there are no videos or images - people can only connect with their voice. The app has been up for just less than 2 months, and it was incredible to see 300 users from all around the world leave voice messages of support for each other. It definitely restored my faith in humanity, so much so that I decided to jump on board as a co-founder :) We are on a mission to end loneliness that is gripping our world today, and we hope you also come…

In plain words
A social audio app built with Flutter that connects people anonymously through voice messages only, with no videos or images.

"This app is very helpful for me to express what I am going through, and talk to others. It is helpful for people who experience loneliness, and want to connect to others, by just using their voice. There are no pictures required of you, or names required to be used, only location, and your voice. It is a great way to connect to people all over the world, and I have had many meaningful and fruitful conversations on here. Thank you so much for this app, it is a game changer for me." "Love the question prompts and the ability to listen to other people’s audio messages and being able to share them in return makes people feel a lot more real and vulnerable. this encourages digging into the core…from bubblic.app

I made a Flutter app for loneliness. 14000 min of voice messages later:2024 · main.d1lmgoealm7rq0.amplifyapp.com · ▲35I hope you are doing better today than yesterday. (TLDR in the comments; or enjoy my story :) ) Why: About 11 months ago, I launched my app for the first time on Reddit's r/lonely because I had previously experienced loneliness myself during grad school. I wanted to reach out to people going through similar experiences by providing them with what would’ve helped me in the past. I felt this was an important mission for me and a much more rewarding one than my day job that I quit my job to work on the app full-time. It was necessary because I did not come from a programming background. I…

Roads Audio2024 · roadsaudio.com · ▲161After college, my friends scattered across time zones. We tried starting a podcast to stay in touch, everyone would record updates, uploads them to Google Drive, and we planned to eventually publish episodes. We never published one. Turns out we didn't want a public podcast, but "the podcast" gave us a reason to keep in touch and share stories/thoughts. Google Drive was terrible for our needs. Record in one app, then upload. No notifications, bad organization. The worst part was when responding to something specific, I'd have to manually timestamp it and repeat their point before…

Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
