Roads Audio
After 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…

Roadsa is an app for creating and sharing short asynchronous audio messages with friends around the world. Users can record and distribute micro podcasts on their own schedule rather than requiring real-time participation.

Roads Audio is a mobile app for deep, asynchronous conversations. Designed specifically for busy professionals and creatives, the app enables private, podcast-like chats that fit seamlessly into any schedule by allowing you to comment on audio with your voice.
Send meaningful voice messages that feel more personal than texting. Roads helps you stay close to friends, partners, and family by letting you talk when it works for you.
Share voice messages with people you care about. Talk when it works for you, without scheduling or pressure. Roads allows you to use your voice to stay connected with the world. The app is designed beautifully and is really intuitive. I first started using this app with a friend and it's a lot of fun. We use this app now instead of texting or voicemails since we are both traveling and it makes keeping up with each other a lot easier. One of the coolest apps I've used in a long time. A great way to communicate with family and friends. A game changer, the interactive audio comments bring conversations to life. It's been super fun chatting with my friends from all around the world on Roads.…from roadsaudio.com

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
