SpareMin — Making conversations possible again

Hello Product Hunt, First off, thanks for hunting us. We are excited to be here! @NeilMody and I see a big opportunity to make voice conversations fun and useful and are hard at work making it happen. SpareMin is enabling bloggers, comedians, pastors, actors, and influencers of all types to connect with fans and friends for easily and - optionally - recordable, shareable phone calls and interviews. No need to schedule calls or share your phone number: SpareMin lets you connect when you are free using your SpareMin account. We are available: on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/... on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/ap... Looking forward to your feedback, either here, or on SpareMin, I’m @ohwellington (http://share.sparemin.com/ohwell...) Here is a piece I wrote on Medium about SpareMin: https://medium.com/@OhWellington... Thx, Oliver

@rrhoover I imagine something like this is invaluable where you have so many incoming requests that are difficult to schedule but also don't want to ignore for purposes of personal/brand management.

Appreciate all the love on the utility/convenience side. Thought I would chime in on what I am really loving lately as well - the shared conversations - here are some examples (existing or budding podcasters may especially appreciate). News - http://share.sparemin.com/record... On the field reporting - http://share.sparemin.com/record... (at a gay rights demonstration) Comedy - http://share.sparemin.com/record... AFAIK, we are the easiest platform to conveniently and safely allow two people to talk and share that conversation seamlessly on social media. Send me a talk request on SpareMin!

I've been testing SpareMin for the last couple of months and love it. It's actually made the phone productive again. I typically set my SpareMins with a 5-minute time limit and it's amazing how much I'm able to accomplish in a short, focused conversation.

Hugely useful product. It has made it so much easier for me to now connect with entrepreneurs whenever I have a time window available for calls. I'm saving so much time as a result.

I heard @neilmody describe how they came to the current iteration, very thoughtful lean product process behind this.

I've tested it out - love the interface! Frees me up from a lot of scheduling for calls. I like the recording feature, helps to hear back pieces of an important conversation.

SpareMin makes connecting in your free time much easier - and lets you put out mini-podcasts (my favorite use for it). For example: check out my short but informational chat with friend and colleague Erin about recruiting women in tech: http://share.sparemin.com/record...

This is brilliant! I see it as a low touch way to get more people making mini-podcasts (or "one off casts"). No equipment or production required.

I tried SpareMin yesterday and am a fan! I love how it let me connect quickly with who I needed to without having to email back and forth to schedule. Since then, I have been redirecting folks who reach out for advice to Sparemin. Finally, I don't have to feel bad about not being helpful or for filling up my calendar with meetings.

Big fan of Sparemin. Great way to field calls whenever you have sometime to kill.

This is great. Frees your calendar from a ton of 30-60 min calls.
