Hi everyone! Two weeks ago, my cofounder and I launched Shareholdr. An app designed to let founders listen to startup essays. After the launch, we got a bunch of great feedback and have spent the last 10 days making improvements. Today, we're excited to launch Shareholdr 2.0! We now have essays by Paul Graham, Jessica Livingston, Sam Altman, Marc Andreessen, Paul Buchheit, Travis Kalanick, and Y Combinator's entire blog archive (read in Michael Seibel's voice). Updates 1. Now all essays are read in the author's voice 2. Added listening speed controls: .75x, 1.25x, 1.5x, and 2x 4. Added a share button to each essay 5. Added optional X sign-in to let you keep track of which essays you've listened to 6. Added a like button so you can save your favorite essays 7. Added listen count to each essay We are planning to add Bill Gurley and Ben Horowitz's blog posts in the next update.

Neat tool, congrats on the launch. One quick question though — do you have permission to clone these peoples’ voices? Last I checked this potentially constitutes personality right infringement.

Congratulations to the team at Shareholdr 2.0 on your launch! It's fantastic to see such a unique concept. It brings a whole new dynamic to learning from startup essays by adding a personal touch with the author's voice. Wondering if you have any plans to incorporate some kind of bookmarking feature or highlights for listeners to refer back to certain sections of the essays? This could be a handy tool especially when revisiting favorite or inspiring topics. Keep up the great work!

Congratulations! I was wondering if I could get on line with my friends on there to discuss what we've learned on these blogs? I feel like that would be more convenient for me.

@kaiiiicookie Hi! Adding social features is definitely something we're thinking about. Are you thinking of a comment section for the essays and blog posts?

Hey, @timorse, awesome tool! It's perfect for daily inspiration and super user-friendly. Quick suggestion: are there any plans to include a comment or discussion feature for users to share thoughts on each essay? Excited to see more!
