There's already Overcast, the (most?) popular podcasts app - why not pick a different name?

@iota Hey Jason, That's a great point, we figured we weren't closely enough related that we could use the name. I could see us changing the name if it were to start causing troubles though!

@iota @nikodraca Seems too confusing to me, especially given that there are some social components within Marco's Overcast app already.

@iota @nikodraca @damenleeturks I came here to see what soundcloud extension, overcast the podcasting app released - so it definitely confused me unfortunately

SoundCloud's future aside, I'm a huge fan of these truly "social" products. Showgoers, Lisn, ParallelPlus, SoundBounce, Jukebox are other great examples of services that let you watch or listen with friends. These products are evolving today's anti-social media consumption habits into more connective, intimate sharing practices, which I think is something incredibly valuable.

@kleinkleinklein Hi Matt! Thanks for the kind words, I agree 100%. It's a shame that there aren't more "social" features on large streaming platforms. Sharing music has historically been a social activity so it's surprising to see that big streaming platforms don't put more emphasis on this aspect of their platform.

UPDATE: A few of you brought up the fact that the name was the same as the podcast app Overcast. We definitely should have spent more time looking into it, Marco reached out and asked us to change the name of our product, which we are currently doing. Thanks for the support!

Hi everyone! With all the recent news about SoundCloud, we wanted to share a project we've been working on for a few months before it's too late! Overcast is a lightweight Chrome extension that let's your broadcast what you listen to on SoundCloud in real-time. It's takes seconds to set up and requires no input on your part. I always liked this feature on Spotify and was upset that SoundCloud didn't provide a similar feature, so we made it ourselves! Thanks for checking it out.

@nikodraca perhaps the best time for SoundCloud projects, help encourage more users to turn things around for them.

@theashtube Hi AshTube, I agree! SoundCloud has a huge community and we should all be contributing in some way to keep it alive. Worst case scenario, if SoundCloud does go under we wanted to release this product so that we can at least spend the last few months sharing music with friends!
