@iamfra5er Agreed; it's lecherous. Awesound has been helping authors self-publish their audio since 2015. Many authors have strong feelings about how Audible treats them.
Our fees are ~20%, so authors earn 3× more.
Plus, you know exactly who's bought (name, email).

We're still working with our partner (Amazon Web Services) to do a full post-mortem about what caused the errors in the first place.

Most of our audio publishers and listeners are based here in the USA. It's a great country to grow up in, to move to, and especially to be an entrepreneur or self-starter.
Here's to self-publishing and to being inclusive. 🇺🇸 ❤️
Happy 4th — hope it was a good one!

[Devon ☀️ @devonzuegel]

A while back, I was talking with a friend who'd moved to the US a few years prior

At some point, I said something like "we Americans..." and he froze with shock. He asked, "Wait, do you think of me as American?" Without much thought, I said "Of course!"

He paused for a while and then said, "Wow. Back home no one would ever refer to a recent immigrant that way. Heck, they wouldn't refer to any immigrant that way, even if they'd lived there for decades"

While the US has a lot of problems (many of which are our own making), this moment made me swell with joy and pride for this special place

Happy birthday, America. I'm so proud to be the citizen of a country where, if you choose to build your life here and contribute to your community, you can become an American too 🇺🇸

[Awesound @awesoundapp]

@SurvivalDadYT1 @JamesCridland Indeed! Sensible acquisition, congrats.

+1. Excellent banking partner for Awesound since 2016. Super customer service.

[Austen Allred @Austen]

While we're being paranoid and making sure funds are protected in short-term, I have to say:

The customer service and quality of everything First Republic has done as our primary bank is absolutely second to none.

It is with fondness that we celebrate the life of Queen Elizabeth II, and with sadness that we watched and honoured her funeral today.
We now remove the banner from the Awesound website, and send condolences to her family and all those moved by her death.

@awscloud Database upgrades completed over the weekend. Awesound core now runs on @supabase! 🙌
This sets us up for improved performance and faster release of new features in the coming months.⚡️

⚠️If using Shopify: please check integration settings, in case switchover caused any glitch.

[Awesound @awesoundapp]

Update: we continue to perform a series of updates on all core databases this week.
Most users should not notice anything.
If you do notice any interruption to service, please try again a few moments later.
Follow progress live on https://t.co/tvpgBAvkwc
Thanks @awscloud

[Awesound @awesoundapp]
