It is such a great concept! I do wonder what steps you are taking though in preventing the spread of fake news, hate media etc.?

@myrill_barrete -- Great question! We have zero tolerance for hate speech, harassment, etc, but have not seen any so far. We've baked in content moderation from the start, including the ability for users to report unsafe content.

A mindful and much needed social product, can Soundwave be shared on other social media platforms and messaging apps such as WhatsApp/Signal etc?

@s_imran_azhar -- Absolutely -- Soundwave has a cross-platform posting feature that allows to export and repost waves on any platforms or website (instagram, tiktok, whatsapp, facebook, etc) as a short video clip.

It's a very nice idea, to share and discuss with other people about a subject, to have their point of view... Great!

Awesome concept just hit record and speak.. voice is the definitely the trending wave of communicating via digital social platforms. Are you bootstrap? or looking for funding? Amazing job on the product and the design, can't wait for the Android version because I am currently an Android user, and much continued success.

?makers This is awesome and I'm glad yall fully launched it! It's such oddly specific timing as me and my friend built goodword.club (exact same concept!!) and had a really strong beta but decided to sunset it about a month or two ago because we came across feedback from users about how you keep them returning and engagement and contributions high. As in how do you incentivize users to come back - if everyone is always giving into the app all the time how do you make a space for people to reply while also feeling heard. Some of our userbase felt like most times they just wanted something a bit more private or even were not concerned with responses, among other good feedback for sure. Our beta had a community prompts section much like yours and also had "Good Words" which were person-specific prompts that would get sent out to a random user who also had one sent. So trying to form that specific person-to-person connection, not sure if that may be something worth experimenting with. I definitely think this product is useful and even I would use it (I have an android)! I just hope that yall have the formula for that "user stickiness" that we hurt from! We were bootstrapped too and ran the closed beta for about 6 months earlier this year and had ~300 people on it. It was a lot of fun and we learned a ton - so all in all a great experience for us. Best wishes to yall! I think the world needs something like this and I really love the medium of voice. Awesome work!

Hello hunters, Happy International Day of Peace! 🕊 🎉 Today we are excited to announce that the Soundwave mobile app is now out of beta and available for everyone to download on the app store. 🎉 In this post-COVID era, and as people are getting back to an active lifestyle, they have less and less time to consume long-form, live social audio. On Soundwave all content and interactions are asynchronous, meaning that users can produce content, express themselves, and interact which each other on their own time, regardless of location, timezone, work, or school schedule. Something else that stands out about Soundwave, among the huge social audio push, is that its short-form format allows users to have more intimate, authentic conversations with their friends and followers through audio. Soundwave users post 60 seconds Waves to get things off their chest, and find their voice and support in moments of depression and anxiety, in pivotal moments of their life like divorce or medical diagnosis, or to ask deep and personal questions about a wide range of topics, including identity, relationships, and sexuality. 80% of users are between the ages of 18 and 30 (gen z and young millennials), and they are using Soundwave as a platform for self-reflection and expressions, without the typical social media pressure of physical appearance and lifestyle. Soundwave is also seeing big adoption from TikTok and Instagram influencers, who are craving deeper connections, jumping on the microcasting movement, and finding really unique ways to use the app. We'd love to hear your thoughts and any feedback!

@dndombe i understand this would be primarily used for voice, and people having discussions, but I'd really love the idea of this being used for private chats, whether that be from people in your own network (with the rise of voice noting) but also for professionals, DJs sharing sample and song edits?

@mitchell_orme -- Hey Mitchell! Those are great suggestions. We have plans to enable private chat as well as use cases for professional. Right now though, our users seem to like the fact that everything is public.
