Hi PH! Today, I'm incredibly excited to announce Shareholdr! An app that lets you listen to the best startup essays, blog posts, and shareholder letters. A little background – I'm dyslexic and have always wanted to listen to PG's essays. A month ago, I was testing ElevenLabs and realized TTS had gotten really good. So, over the past month, I spent a bunch of time cleaning essays (removing things like: — _ % $ = +) to make the audio translations sound good and working with my cofounder to build an app. We currently have essays by Paul Graham, Jessica Livingston, Sam Altman, and Marc Andreessen, and will work to add more quickly. We made this for founders and it's free to use while we're in beta (also no sign-up). If you're interested, give it a try. (We'd love to hear what you think! :")

Interesting idea, congrats on your launch.

@ti_morse, hey, such a good idea. Congratulations on your launch! Unfortunately, when I tried to open the app on iOS 12.5 (minimal requirement is iOS 11.0), it crashed. But the new one works fine. I suggest to set iOS 14.0 as a minimum requirement. Have a great launch day! In the meantime, I'll listen to Sam Altman's essay!

Interesting idea, congrats on your launch! If it's not a secret what are you using for TTS?

Congrats team Shareholdr on the launch!

essays are very important in our everyday life

Great work on the launch of the product!

Congrats, ?makers, and good luck on the launch! 🍀🚀

Very nice product!

Congratulations on the launch! So great!

Lovely product @ti_morse ! Small feedback, can you try and make the AI voice a little more natural? I'm sure there are better voices, and also gender-specific to the person that I'm listening(e.g a male voice for Sam Altman) I think then this be my everyday app while running in the morning :)

Good luck with the launch!

Great work, @ti_morse. You must be so proud to have created this listening platform that helps people learn more about startups. Keep up the amazing work!

This is awesome!

Very interesting! Good luck with the launch!

Interesting! I would like to listen to more comprehensive content rather than just podcast summaries. So thank you! Will there be an opportunity to add our own essays or only those added by you? (Currently it seems there are few of them)

Congrats on the launch! This will replace my morning podcast for sure!

That's great project. Congratulations

What a brilliant concept, Shareholdr! It's truly exciting to see a product that bridges the gap between the written word and auditory experiences, especially with content from such influential figures as Paul Graham, Jessica Livingston, Sam Altman, and Marc Andreessen. The potential impact of this product is substantial.
