Wow, this is a really cool idea, and I love the platform behind it! Reminds me of the old Anchor.fm. I can definitely see it riding the upswell of proximity and private chat room apps. Only question from me: how do you do moderation in these audio rooms? I know on Clubhouse it works so that there's a couple of speakers that control the room and talk while everyone else listens.
A post on HN earlier today highlighted some of the problems with this approach - such as these speakers spreading misinformation and not much moderation from Clubhouse staff. Just something to keep in mind as you grow your service. For reference, you can find that discussion here:

Good luck!
- sethkim 6y agoHey! Thanks for the positive feedback! Moderation is a key topic for discourse.fm. As the name suggests, it's a place to come freely discuss ideas without fear of being kicked out for simply having different opinions. Hence, we're going for "decentralized moderation" (i.e. no one is in control, not even the creator of the rooms). Obviously we'll have to implement some mechanism to protect against ill-willed users, but what exactly that'll look like is yet to be seen.
