Hi product lovers, thanks, @chrismessina for the hunting us and @rrhoover for being one of our early testers. It was a great surprise to see Cappuccino on PH on this Sunday morning, even though quite unexpected Our goal with Cappuccino is to provide an amazing way to start the day with a daily show created from the voice messages of your friends. Currently, we are focusing on offering this experience to small groups of close friends and family. We might extend to other use cases in the future. Feel free to share your feedback and contact us for any questions/comments you might have.

@chrismessina @rrhoover @odesmoulin Onboarding asks for a group invite code for android - there's no way to skip over it?

@chrismessina @rrhoover @odesmoulin @shavin47 Hey Shavin, you can't create a group yet on Android, only join an existing one. We're still very early, and built a stripped down version for Android so no one would be excluded from a close friends or family group. If you have a friend on iOS who can create a group and invite you, that would work!

@chrismessina @rrhoover @odesmoulin @gillespoupardin Ok I understand, I'll have a friend set it up thanks!

@chrismessina @rrhoover @odesmoulin @shavin47 how to receive an invitation from a friend if it's me who is setting up the group :(

Love this — like Audio Twitter, but for close friends!
Alexandru Enache
@chrismessina I love the idea. I think it's more like Audio Instagram

@alexandru_enc interesting distinction. LOL. Maybe depends on which parts of those services we each use most often?

@chrismessina @alexandru_enc or a an Audio WhatsApp ? 😅
Giuseppe
love the concept! 80% of the times I'd rather send a voice message than typing on my phone. @odesmoulin probably I'd add: 1. media support - chats are often about commenting on something (video/image/gif/link). Nice to have: 2. threads 3. transcripts (maybe pro version to cover the speech 2 text bill)

@giuseppegurgone sorry replying late ... Love the media support idea. Agree, very often, we record a bean about something. Adding this in on our roadmap. Not in the next 2-3 weeks, but hopefully this fall. 👍

I'm fortunate to have been using this product since day 1 and found it to be such a breakthrough for keeping in touch with my closest friends (all from outside the tech world!), especially as we all live in different cities around the world. It quickly becomes part of your daily routine (and low key therapeutic) to take 2 mins out of your day to reflect on what you've been up to/how you're feeling/any challenges you're facing/or just to summarize the news in your life, and frictionlessly record those thoughts to share with your friends. The following morning, it became such a joy to play my cappuccino as I'm getting ready for the day ahead, and have my morning filled with the voices and stories of my closest friends. 🥰☕️

@sararahmcb Thanks so much for sharing your experience on Cappuccino. We're currently working on one of the ideas/feedback you shared with Gilles (#prompts 🤗 )
Ryan Hoover
I've enjoyed following this one (and generally, any creative approaches to social audio/voice).

@rrhoover what else are you recommend to look at social audio/voice space?

@rrhoover @fudzi_keika also, I created a collection that follows the new products in social audio & podcasting and will continue to build on this. https://www.producthunt.com/@jal...

@rrhoover @fudzi_keika @jall_n Thanks for including Cappuccino, John!

@gillespoupardin no problem!

This is it. This is *the* product of the year for me. While somewhat skeptical at first (assumed novelty effect), I’ve now been using Cappuccino every single day for the past month and a half. The app is beautiful, simple, and really great for intimate groups of people. I have two main groups and it’s been so fun to stay in touch over the last many weeks. Normally it’s “burdensome” or “hard” to stay in touch, but Cappuccino makes it so smooth and enjoyable. Looking forward to many more Capps ☕️❤️
Jaren Glover
@yorios9312 what do you think is the idea group size?
Manuela Rios
@jarenglover 10-13. It keeps the Capp going even if some people don’t have a chance to roast their beans.
David Weissler
I've been using Cappuccino and I really enjoy the unique way the app connects you with your friends. It's almost like a mini-podcast consisting of snippets / slice of life insights from friends.

@david_weissler Awesome to hear :)
Dan, not an AI bot.
Well, I like the idea, and have a friend who wants to start with me, but we're both on Android. Would be nice for a system of passing out invites to Android (84% of market share).

@dfoster Yes, sorry, we are a bit behind with our Android app, but we will fix this soon.
Bastien Soret
Using it for 2 month now on a daily basis.. Didn't think I would but depending on the people roasting their beans every day to make the cappuccino, it's kind of addictive :) Thanks Olivier for early access

@bastiensoret Awesome to hear, Bastien. Thanks!
Brett Bivens
Huge fan for Cappuccino. Our family has found a really fun use case that is probably applicable to a lot of potential users (if not language learning, some other kind of education). https://twitter.com/cappuccino_f...

@brettbivens I love this use case so much! Thanks!!

This app can be a great match up for us visually impaired people as well. There have been many different experiments for audio social networking but almost all of them failed due to short vision. I hope this will result being a daily product in our lives. I'll be more than happy to test the app if I ever get the chance.

@salih_kunduz Hello Salih! Thanks for sharing this with us. Would love to understand how we can build a product that matches your needs. Could you reach out at hello(at)cappuccino(dot)fm? Hope we can connect!
