Could be good... Surprised if @spotify doesn't already do this. Guessing there's a silent disco function?

@vibhasjain Seems to be a great idea! But why not android till now? Did you make this keeping the US market in mind initially? Will wait for the android app.
Hello ProductHunt! We've been building Lisn for a couple months now, and just launched on the App Store last week.
Music recommendation on mobile is broken — sending a URL through iMessage/Messenger/Whatsapp means jumping between apps, and there's often no feedback on whether your friend liked the song or not.
We've found that listening to the song together and chatting about it live is a great way to discover new music, and Lisn sessions are a super addictive experience! It's like you're listening to music in the same room, and playing DJ for each other.
We're excited for you to try it out, and as always, would love to hear any feedback you might have!

@abnux Great concept. Congrats on launch. Listening to music is a passive experience for most people. How do you intend to make it more active? Would be some hooks that help create a habit? Just curious.

Facebook-only is kind of a deal breaker for me. I do have a burner FB account but am loath to use it, and my girlfriend (who's the main person I want to listen to music with) is highly allergic to all social media and would never join FB.
If you need a federated login to avoid having to run your own identity service, I'd suggest adding Google.
@snej Hey Jens, we just added phone number logins! Check out the update

Been Lisn'ing with @vibhasjain for the past hour and he's shown me some cool tips and new tunes! I can't wait to use this with my girlfriend while we're both at work. Great job guys!
While launching on iOS only isn't ideal, I'm super happy to see it talked about as the next priority without prompting. This looks amazing. Can't wait to try it out.
