After a full month of closed beta, @missagla and I have just made https://t.co/V5uyvWf1RT open to the public!
We fixed a lot of quirks ๐ ๏ธ, improved our pricing model ๐ฐ and shipped a new landing page โจ
Feel free to try, RT, and give us feedback ๐ค
#buildinpublic
I'm excited to share with you what the landing page of @readable will look like later this week! โจ
About 4 days of work on this page: @missagla in Figma and me in VSCode :) ๐ซ
This is a huge milestone as readable will then be open to the public! ๐
#buildinpublic
I asked ChatGPT to improve our landing copywriting, with a "catchy tone"! ๐ค
I can tell you that with this shiny and top-notch tool, we got you covered! (we also have your back!) ๐ฅ Let's take it to the next level ๐
Bingo-bullshit is only a prompt away ๐ซ

I'm working on event tracking on @readablefm today.
I already did it on two projects before, so I developed some reflexes. ๐ช
Here is how I do it:
1. No client-side tracking. This is the easy way, but not reliable as a lot of browsers disable 3rd party libraries
Next in ๐งต ๐
Here is the result of my text-to-speech-to-text experiment! ๐ค

I wrote a fictive conversation, generated audio to produce a podcast episode, and then ran it through readable ๐
We will use it as a demo on our new landing page
Just improved the mobile experience of @readablefm by bringing support for native iOS lock screen artwork and controls โฏ๏ธ
(while recording and unlocking my phone, I've almost been caught by the FaceID but I think I handled it gracefully ๐ )

I'm writing documentation to help @readablefm users embed our widget in their websites.
I already wrote guides for WordPress and Ghost.
What do you think would be the next?
#buildinpublic
Documenting how to integrate @readablefm's widget is more tedious than expected!
But we don't want to compromise on SEO, so it's a bit more complex than just dropping a Youtube iframe.
Next step: documenting setup in a WordPress site
#buildinpublic
After 2 weeks of private beta, we had many feedbacks on @readablefm ๐
- UX issues
- copywriting issues
- current pricing model is bad
We're fixing everything, shipping a new widget to embed readable on your site.
Public launch expected in a couple of weeks ๐
#buildinpublic
Some call it Karma
Some others call it "maximizing opportunity surface" (๐ @arvidkahl )
This afternoon I was invited by a local real estate agency to record a 10mn testimonial ๐ฌ
The place was a podcast agency ๐
I demoed @readablefm and their jaw dropped ๐ฅ
#buildinpublic
We just shipped @readablefm responsive UI โจ
It was a bit of work, but fortunately, we have our back covered by @tailwindcss
I hope you'll appreciate our new minified audio player โฏ๏ธ ๐
#buildinpublic
I'm looking for a marketing (email-based) automation tool. ๐ค
I basically want a REST API to post my user's events, and a UI to design HTML emails and build workflows to send emails based on my user's activity.
Any suggestion? ๐
#buildinpublic
This weekend, we'll be iterating on the mobile version of readable
For now, we focus our efforts on the public podcast pages. The responsive back-office can wait :)
I'm always amazed by how TailwindCSS makes it easy to turn a website into a responsive one โจ
Just sent a very small batch of invitations to our private beta ๐ฅณ
Exciting times coming! ๐ฅ
(drop me a DM if you want to be part of the beta!)
#buildinpublic
Just added @cannyHQ integration to our product.
Full setup, including a custom changelog button + single-sign-on takes about 30mn to set up.
#buildinpublic
Feeling better and started coding again ๐ช
I just took a spin on our HTML email templates. ๐
Once again I used MJML which is a wonderful responsive email framework available in a lot of languages.
