Hey Product Hunters!! Last week we won one of the categories in this years edition of the Makers Festival. Now, super excited to finally launch Wavechat on PH today! 😺
Wavechat is like the Snapchat for voice with filters for your voice instead of your face 😱A Wavechat is a casual up to 60 second podcast that you can put on your 24-hour story – or send to your friends. You can add visuals to it such as bitmojis, transcription, images, captions or stickers. This makes it an ideal editor for creating short, voice focused Instagram or Snapchat stories too – since we enable off-platform sharing as a video. 👻😁
We appreciate all your feedback and are happy to answer questions and comments! 🙌🏼
Pumped to try it out! Concept is great.
One thing to consider: the app icon and branding is very similar to Anchor. At first I almost clicked on Anchor, actually. This is such a cool product it shouldn't get lost or confused with another app in the voice-recording/podcasting space.
@thatguybg Hi Brett!
We've actually been working in this space for a while. I wrote a Medium post detailing our journey here: https://medium.com/@davegoldblat...
Happy to answer anything more in depth here or on the medium article, but some high level thoughts:
1. We were familiar with the space (I've worked at fb and Dennis and I are both very in to audio tech), we saw a huge opportunity in the market (Airpods errwhere!) and we thought it would be a fun, meaningful, interesting problem to solve.
2. We pivoted a few times along the way - we originally were a desktop based "short audio clip" social network - but we decided upon a "narrower" solution in the beginning. (Easy, fun micro-podcasts)
3. We're very excited about the future of Voice, and see almost limitless creative opportunities to help people create and share using Voice and Audio - not just on phones, but in AR, VR, Mixed Reality, and whatever else comes along :D
Enjoyable app to have in a group of friends and mess around on. I am looking forward to seeing where this app goes and how much bigger it can get. Very excited for the android version to come out.
