Post Description

hi, I'm Reuben Over the past few months I've been building a platform where all the information is sourced from spoken conversations, and I wanted to make this content searchable, savable, and shareable. Presented in a well-designed format, similar to Yahoo but with higher IQ content.

Like most, I listen to a lot of podcasts, but I wanted to connect the dots on different topics and read the parts which are interesting more deeply. Sharing bits and pieces with friends was also a motivating factor, as well as alerts which feed into my other pipelines.

That said, I'm not sure which parts of the platform will resonate with users or not, so it's an experiment in progress.

Technicals: I love my craft (both design, and code), so I took ample time to think about UX and design it in Figma. It's cookiecut from ample projects I have in Django and HTMX, and scaffolded my way through. Hosted on Digitalocean, and AI agnostic from an LLM perspective. I can go deeper into these, but they probably deserve their own posts. Hope you like!
