Congratulations on the launch! Can users also create their own audio stories on Loquis, or is it limited to the existing 1 million stories?

@memphys_sk we have small creators to large brands using loquis to create content daily and also anyone can create content so our stories are growing fast.. i think we are projected for 1.5m loquis by next year.

Hey @loquistheborg, this sounds super exciting! I'm really impressed with how you've doubled your audience and revenues this year. It’s awesome to see Loquis becoming such a key player in audio storytelling! 🎉 Your examples for developers are spot on! Embedding audio stories could really enhance experiences for travelers and brands alike. Keep up the amazing work! Can’t wait to see what people create with Loquis!

@blankwebdev we found that while some developers prefers APIS to access the stories a lot of publishers rather have widgets because they are easier and faster to deploy. Thanks for you support!
Patrick Lamar Martin
Interesting concept. On a trip right now, might try it out. If you don't mind the feedback, I had some clunky loading with the landing page and it took me a bit to know what's it is all about. Think you might benefit from giving it a few touches. Best of luck!

@patrick_lamar_martin thank you so much for the feedback.Do you think it might be easier to digest if we started tallking about the developer program first then the embeddable map? thanks so much
Rohan Chaubey
Congrats Hamza and team on the launch! :)

Well thought, built and executed. I’d love seeing more functionalities to use the app on the move though.

Maker
@pier_ludovico_bancale Thank you pier, TBH there are so much stuff we want to build, but we are still a small team. That's why we think the API program is a good way to get alot more ideas to market ❤️

I remember seeing another app like this where you can share stories on a road trip. I think this is what I want when I go visit. I often look at cool buildings, but can barely learn any history from it unless I really look for it. Such a great concept if it's used in travelling, but also could be a great product just for locals to share their stories, memories about their cities (I've seen tons of FB groups sharing old photos, why not old stories!). Congrats @loquistheborg and team on the launch!

@tonyhanded thanks tony, preserving history and culture is actually one of our core objectives!

Using audio stories to enhance user engagement is such a cool idea. I can't wait to see how it improves my app's user experience.
David strc
I love how easy it is to integrate audio content with the API. It’s a fantastic resource for developers.
Mike Chen
Maker
@david_strc Thanks David, the API allows really opens the door for the types of experiences developers can create.
Andriy Semenets
Congratulations on the launch! What would you say was the most challenging part from the engineering perspective? Thanks.
Mike Chen
Maker
@semanser I think with most startups trying to to do heavy lifting with large amount of data (& metadata) within resource constraints is the biggest challenge.

Does Loquis offer analytics on audio content performance? The feature is exactly what my app needs to boost user engagement.
Mike Chen
Maker
@amelia_charlie hi Amelia, of course we have analytics on audio content as user engagement… or do you mean audio analytics as a service?
Yaniv Ben Hemo
Very cool idea. The usual issue is that oftentimes it just does not cover enough ground or just sticked to the tourist places. A cool edge would be if it could generate some "local" information (in tone as well), less Wikipedia
Mike Chen

@yaniv_ben_hemo1 thanks Yaniv thank you for awesome feedback and you are absolutely right. our conversge is strongest in Europe since we started in italy. But we are bringing on new creators and content partners everyday and not coverage will significantly increase by next year.
