I was interested in this, then saw this in the terms:
"moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right; (ii) slander, defame, libel, or invade the right of privacy, publicity or other property rights of any other person; or (iii) cause Capiche to violate any law or regulation; and your User Content could not be deemed by a reasonable person to be objectionable, profane, indecent, pornographic, harassing, threatening, embarrassing, hateful, or otherwise inappropriate."
So - I will suggest that you make whatever export options a thing. If I could auto-export all my data, I might give it a whirl.
I had a similar experience looking into anchorFM - looked neat - like what I was needing exactly (like this maybe) - checked the terms and checked out.
With today's cancel culture what it is, I can't see buying into a SaaS that will punt so easily - I don't know if export is an option - I don't know if it's a lockout kind of thing like google does - or if you have time to get your content like wordpress.com does.. but I can build this and not worry about it, other people may want to know.
- stevenicr 6y agoand to add to that - if you package the code and we can self-host it and connect with twillio api and all that, I could see spending a couple hundred bucks to buy it and not have to worry about the politically-correct wanna be cancel police getting it pulled.. that way I don't have to worry who gets nervous about content complaints and how that gets handled at your place.
- echelon 6y agoThis appears to be a VC backed venture. They're not giving their code away.
- stevenicr 6y agoInteresting actually. I just skimmed the 'about' and did nothing jumped out at me saying 'vc backed' - but maybe there are other clues I should look for 'vc backed' with things in the future. This has made me consider more about vc backed things - they mostly have to go for certain business models and it limits things I guess. my comment was saying I would buy the code to run on our servers, not asking to give it away. I do this with some local software and some server software. It's a fine choice to not make it available that way. I was merely offering a different view point some may want to consider - not suggesting that their current model was flawed. No matter how many VCs want to be the next adobe, I only use software I don't have to subscribe to, and try to only user services where I have easy export of data. Certainly I am not the majority of users in the world. I wonder how many more will start to shift after getting burned by vendor lockin though, certainly I'm not the only one that has spend time and money with other people's platforms and had them change a business model or terms of content and then lost all of that time and content. I imagine the number of people with that bad taste in their mouth will continue to grow. This is not to say that I expect the youtube/adobe etc biz models to fail because if it. Just offering a glance at a market that may not be considered.
- rcakebread 6y agoI'm working on an open source project similar to this. It uses Twilio as an option for calling in, but DJs/hosts can use a mic or connect a mixer/turntable via USB audio interface and stream directly without using Twilio. Hoping to make the first release next week. There's a Raspberry Pi client for remote broadcasts. Here's a demo where you can see chat controlled DJ room where you can cue up songs in the station's library: https://radiogbv.com/ https://radiogbv.com/
