Hey hunters 👋! We’re excited for you all to check out our new Ausum app! Are you: 🥩 Skimming through news stories, trying to find the one fact promised by the headline? ⏭️ Annoyed by the poor reading experience and amount of ads and pop-ups? ⌛️ Don’t have enough time to read and stay informed? If any of the above resonate with you, then Ausum is your answer! We built Ausum so you can stay informed in a fraction of the time and while on the go. With Ausum, we read the most important stories of the day, summarize, and turn them into audio briefs so you can get up-to-speed whenever, wherever. We call it Ausum because those audio summaries are truly awesome! What you can do with Ausum:
  • Save time staying informed on your favorite topics, such as crypto, tech, world news and more.
  • Personalized listening feed. You have an uninterrupted listening experience of stories relevant to you.
  • Download stories to listen offline.
  • Enjoy a super intuitive experience - install and tap play. No signup required.
We would love for you to check it out and let us know what you think in the comments below. Oh, and here’s a gift for all of you hunters - 3-month of free premium, valid until 03/31/2022 - https://apple.co/3MYXGGb Yaniv and the Ausum team.

Looks practical, congrats on your launch! @prodissues Any Android version coming soon?

Hi @stefani_kovachevska, Yuval here, I'm the tech lead for Ausum (and an Android user...) We're working on an Android version that will have the same functionality as the iOS version, but we want to get it right so it takes a little longer, but we'll have it out soon. Meanwhile you can download our current version at https://play.google.com/store/ap.... Thanks!

Reminds me of Umano from back in the day! cc @ianmendiola

@rrhoover - thanks for bringing up Umano. We rarely truly innovate 😀, which reminders me of Bret Victor The Future of Programming video (https://youtu.be/8pTEmbeENF4)... Your comment on Umano is still relevant - the quality of audio is crucial, and even as ai voices get (much) better, we find that the human voice is way more engaging. @ianmendiola - would love to connect to share notes and learn from your experience!

This looks awesome! Going to try it out. I generally read Morning Brew, but sometimes that takes longer than I'd prefer, although it's still by far the shortest option out there, and very entertaining. Looking forward to trying this out to see if it can be my quick fix!

@britt_joiner would love for your feedback once you try it out. Indeed, Morning Brew is an inspiration to turning complex information into digestible and accessible format.
