Huge fan for Cappuccino. Our family has found a really fun use case that is probably applicable to a lot of potential users (if not language learning, some other kind of education).

Hi product lovers,
thanks, @chrismessina for the hunting us and @rrhoover for being one of our early testers.
It was a great surprise to see Cappuccino on PH on this Sunday morning, even though quite unexpected
Our goal with Cappuccino is to provide an amazing way to start the day with a daily show created from the voice messages of your friends.
Currently, we are focusing on offering this experience to small groups of close friends and family. We might extend to other use cases in the future.
Feel free to share your feedback and contact us for any questions/comments you might have.
@chrismessina @rrhoover @odesmoulin Onboarding asks for a group invite code for android - there's no way to skip over it?
@chrismessina @rrhoover @odesmoulin @shavin47 Hey Shavin, you can't create a group yet on Android, only join an existing one. We're still very early, and built a stripped down version for Android so no one would be excluded from a close friends or family group.
If you have a friend on iOS who can create a group and invite you, that would work!
@chrismessina @rrhoover @odesmoulin @gillespoupardin Ok I understand, I'll have a friend set it up thanks!
@chrismessina @rrhoover @odesmoulin @shavin47 how to receive an invitation from a friend if it's me who is setting up the group :(
I've been using the product since Jan. It has been quite a delightful way to stay in touch with my mom and brothers. If you can imagine days are very long and really easy to get lost and miss a phone call or text ... Cappuccino has created a delightful way to stay in touch despite the chaos of now.
@alexandru_enc interesting distinction. LOL. Maybe depends on which parts of those services we each use most often?
love the concept! 80% of the times I'd rather send a voice message than typing on my phone. @odesmoulin probably I'd add:
1. media support - chats are often about commenting on something (video/image/gif/link).
Nice to have:
2. threads
3. transcripts (maybe pro version to cover the speech 2 text bill)
@giuseppegurgone sorry replying late ...
Love the media support idea. Agree, very often, we record a bean about something. Adding this in on our roadmap. Not in the next 2-3 weeks, but hopefully this fall. 👍
I love this concept. Trying to get my friends onboard. Does the iOS app feel a little sluggish (goes unresponsive) just for me or it is still being ironed out?
@annkur Thank you! Were you able to get your friends onboard? We've been a bit overwhelmed welcoming a lot of new people on Cappuccino! Might explain the slowness of the app sometimes, but let us know if it's still the case! hello(at)cappuccino(dot)com
I love the product and the experience. I use it with two groups of close friends, to share daily updates and thoughts. Each morning we are looking forward to receiving our Cappuccinos (and the neat music arrangement).
I'm fortunate to have been using this product since day 1 and found it to be such a breakthrough for keeping in touch with my closest friends (all from outside the tech world!), especially as we all live in different cities around the world. It quickly becomes part of your daily routine (and low key therapeutic) to take 2 mins out of your day to reflect on what you've been up to/how you're feeling/any challenges you're facing/or just to summarize the news in your life, and frictionlessly record those thoughts to share with your friends. The following morning, it became such a joy to play my cappuccino as I'm getting ready for the day ahead, and have my morning filled with the voices and stories of my closest friends. 🥰☕️
@sararahmcb Thanks so much for sharing your experience on Cappuccino. We're currently working on one of the ideas/feedback you shared with Gilles (#prompts 🤗 )
@gardraw Thanks Ed! Would be great to get your feedback as you're playing with Cappuccino!
I've been testing the app, and I enjoyed the experience a lot. The branding is joyful – it's a pleasure to open the app in the morning. The app is very well made and the updates are coming pretty fast. Can't wait to see what's coming. :)
@debetux Great to hear, Lancelot! Would love to connect and learn more about your experience and how we can improve the app for you and your friends!
I’ve been using for the last week with 3 friends. Amazed by how much fun it is. We’ve mainly used for silly comedy skits. Would love to be able to share episodes or compile a “best of” for others. Any plans to enable downloads?
This is it. This is *the* product of the year for me. While somewhat skeptical at first (assumed novelty effect), I’ve now been using Cappuccino every single day for the past month and a half. The app is beautiful, simple, and really great for intimate groups of people. I have two main groups and it’s been so fun to stay in touch over the last many weeks. Normally it’s “burdensome” or “hard” to stay in touch, but Cappuccino makes it so smooth and enjoyable. Looking forward to many more Capps ☕️❤️
@jarenglover 10-13. It keeps the Capp going even if some people don’t have a chance to roast their beans.
Oh wow. I saw PH's tweet about it and I have to say, I want to test it. No, I stand correct, I want it in my life. It looks like a dope idea!
My only question would be around security and privacy, where will the audio beans be stored? Are all the data going to be encripted?
Lovely product. However, why isn't it possible to listen back old beans just like you can do with old podcast episodes? I was thinking of using it in our sales team so we can all share learnings in the form of a podcast, but then you can only get back to your own beans. Thanks for shipping it!
@bernatfarrero Hi Bernat! Interesting use case! A few teams are already using Cappuccino. Cappuccino history and a way to save the Cappuccinos you want is on the roadmap! Would love your feedback if you start experimenting with your team! DM or email us hello(at)cappuccino(dot)com anytime!
@bernatfarrero @gillespoupardin Please include the option to export Cappuccinos as well. Would definitely pay for that 😄
I just downloaded this tonight so I haven’t gotten my first cappuccino yet, but I already love this!! In pandemic times it’s been tougher to keep up with friends aside from text—I’m on Zoom all day at work so the last thing I want is another video or even phone call. Really looking forward to using this to catch up and goof off with friends I don’t get to see as much anymore (and I love feeling like I’m an NPR podcaster in the process!!!)
I've enjoyed following this one (and generally, any creative approaches to social audio/voice).
@rrhoover @fudzi_keika also, I created a collection that follows the new products in social audio & podcasting and will continue to build on this.
