👀 Inspiration

Short content is blowing up nowadays, with the rise of social media that provide short-form content and popular websites making a shift from long to short, it's time to make short podcasts.

This was inspired by Twitter - which is considered a "micro-blogging" platform. It's a simple way to share your thoughts, ideas, and stories.

auDium is a simple web app that does exactly that, but with audio. It's like spotify + twitter.

Additional Resources / Info

For the purpose of this hackathon, the app is very barebones. It's not meant to be used as a full-fledged social media yet, but I'll be constantly working on new features and improvements.

So, for now, you can consider it as a proof of concept that works

Also, the app is not hosted because I don't have the funds to host Appwrite on my own, and this projects needs quite a bit of storage too, which I don't have. So, for now, you can only use it in the development environment, on your local machine.
