@iohana_mace_anu Thank Iohana! What other apps do you use to stay informed daily?

@radu_mazilu3 @iohana_mace_anu What other sources do you use?

@khadesha_bryant You're totally right, the value proposition wasn't an issue. In fact, the value broader value proposition hasn't changed. Most people were using Listle to stay updated on the topics that were important for them. We realized much of the content they cared about was already produced by trustable sources, but it was difficult to find, organize and consume. With Listle 2.0, we aim to make it easier for somebody to stay informed day-to-day, by creating a personalized, high quality feed that helps you be up to date with what's important for you.

@khadesha_bryant @marianicolae9 okay got it! So for me the main value proposition was listening on the go, while doing other things. Do you plan to support audio only news in the future? The videos are great but video content tends to reference things they are showing on the screen as well. It’s a bit harder to listen passively because it’s designed for you to look not just listen.

@khadesha_bryant @marianicolae9 That's true of some videos / shows (for example late night shows like Trevor Noah's). There could be an option for audio only for the feed though. Do you think that is the main prevents you from using this version of the app? What change(s) would make it useful for you to introduce it in your daily routine?

@khadesha_bryant @marianicolae9 @radu_mazilu3 yes I would say that’s the main thing. I am an avid tiktok user, but the videos are short. Just giving the feed a brief try in Listle, the videos are longer and not necessarily designed to catch my attention in the first few seconds. So I think if you could either make the videos shorter like tiktok or make it so I can listen passively while doing something else, I’d definitely incorporate it into my daily life.

@khadesha_bryant sounds interesting. we'd love to go into more depth on this and understand a bit more about your specific pain-points when consuming news in (short-form) video. Feel free to book a user interview with us here: https://calendly.com/maria-253/l...

@stuart_morgan Hey Stuart. That's right. We think it's important to not only show you stuff we know you already like and would produce high engagement. Would love to get your thoughts on the app. How would you fit it in your routine?

@stuart_morgan btw, how do you currently get your daily news?

@andrei_nicolae Thank you, Andrei !! 😎😎

@diana_udrescu Glad you like it!! What are the main topics you read about?

@alex_papageorge Awesome. Do you like this version of Listle more than the old one?

@alex_papageorge @marianicolae9 I do. I like it a lot better actually. I really like the UI tweak - much more of a social feel, and I appreciate that. The one consideration I may share is creating a new screen to navigate my already established favorited categories. I feel like my favorites are my favorites, and only my favorites should exist (in this area). Right now, I'm going back to the same screen I've already been (when I selected the topics I'm interested in), but still see topics I've already expressed I'm not interested in (by not favoriting them), ya know? I get the intent to maybe expand my interest to expand into other categories, but things like celebrities or food, I really don't care about and never will... Super nit picky, but some user feedback to consider :) Outside of that, love it. Excited to see even more progress

@marius_porumbescu Thanks! What are your top sources for getting daily information?

@daniel_martinez_w thank you!! Glad you like it.

@laurentiu_ionele awesome. Glad you like it!

@ingeborg_riedmaier Thank you!! What are your main sources for getting information ?

@russell_mclemore awesome. Would love to chat in a few days to check if Listle is solving this problem for you. You can email us at founders@listle.io if you'd like to schedule a user interview.

@frankevans7 Thanks a lot, we appreciate the support! If you have any specific feedback, we'd love to do a user interview — just email us at founders@listle.io.

@jdgusz That's awesome to hear, Dan! We're planning on doing that very soon.

@daveparkhere yes, the sources are all from Youtube at the moment as we wanted to focus on video news. Do you have any suggestions regarding other sources?

@daveparkhere @marianicolae9 I think YT will have the most comprehensive library. I thought you might be working directly with publishers and getting the vids from them if they also hosted videos on their sites as some publishers will not post everything on Youtube.

@z_qureshi Thanks Zeena! Congrats for your progress with Sonantic, too!

@bogdan_mutu, glad you like it!
