Would people listen to these small updates?
Audio is pretty big in WhatsApp. But it’s widely accepted that audio messages are good for people who send it and bad for who receive (it is a hassle to listen to it, even at 2x, comparing to reading a text message).
Also, your use case seems very well covered by WhatsApp and Telegram.
I am part of a Telegram from a famous writer where he only sends audio messages (one-to-many, closed threads, only accepts emojis). It is hard to differentiate a product enough as an audio only social network to beat Telegram and WhatsApp on most use cases.
- Flimm 4y agoCappuccino only delivers audio messages the next morning, all mixed together in one audio track. You listen to it at your leisure, like drinking a morning coffee, or at least that's the idea. I find WhatsApp voice messages annoying, as I can't tell if they're urgent or not without listening to the full audio message after scrambling to find my headphones. In contrast, I know Cappuccino voice messages aren't urgent, since they're only delivered to me the next morning. I tried it with a group of friends, but it didn't take off, sadly, for a couple of reasons. But I did not feel annoyed by them the way I do for WhatsApp voice messages. I hope Cappuccino takes off, I think it's a good idea that with good execution that deserves to succeed.
