I really like the interaction and design style of this product, but I still think there are two disadvantages: 1. About the presentation of language, because in addition to English, there should be more users to know what the content means to express (voice conversion other languages) text). 2. More content / more user involvement in traction?
@weekto So thrilled you like the interaction and design. We 100% agree that more language support is very important however to be honest we can't implement this immediately. We've certainly registered it on our backlog. There's actually a big opportunity here with voice to text as well.

This sure looks promising. It's about time for the next wave of podcasting services, especially the ones that adds a social layer and messaging to some of the already exciting audio content available out there.
@binoyxj wow thanks Binoy. So glad you see value in what we're building. Yeah definitely a lot of buzz in the industry. We think that podcasts are still pretty archaic in the way they're delivered ie one play button and that's it. Out of curiosity, do you think clapping (bookmarking) or tagging is a more enticing feature for you?
Cheers @binoyxj ! For a long time, we've been looking for a way to comment on specific moments so you don't loose context of what's currently playing. Stayed tuned, more and more features coming soon!
Woot! this amazing and totally game changing loved the design the concept, great work guys, I totally see their is a hike in podcast industry these days!
@iamarnob6543 awesome. Looking forward to building out podcasting with you ;)
And we're responsive right now to try to iterate a little more quickly. Already done some react native tests.
Hey Product Hunt,
I'm Marcus, the founder of Bitcast.fm and I’m super excited to introduce you to Bitcast 1.0.
Bitcast.fm is the social podcast platform that we always wanted - a platform that let's you discover and share the best 'bits' of podcasts seamlessly as you hear them.
Rather selfishly, we also decided to design and launch it with our favorite tech podcasts in mind.
The decision to build a web app first (instead of native) is to stay agile while we find the right product-everything-fit. Full intentions to build native soon.
With that in mind, this version is minimal and maximal where it matters. We tried really hard to make the most important features function well but it still has some rough edges, don't be afraid to tell us about them!
Upcoming Features:
- Editing and deleting Bits / comments
- Sub-comments and upvotes
- Following podcasters and friends.
- Search and subscribe
- PWA (waiting for upcoming IOS update)
- Private tagging and messaging.
- Alternate Reddit style feed. Boosting with eth.
- Topbits, topics, playlists.
- Secret sauce, *cough* discussions.
Thank you to everyone who previously signed up to the waiting list and cheers @bentossell for hunting!
Feel free to reach out! marcus(@)bitcast.fm
Best,
Marcus_Sonoma

Trying to use the site on my phone (since I only listen to pods while on the move) - would love to be able to 1.5-2x the speed on mobile safari.
Thanks @kaz for your suggestion, this feature is definitely on the radar! We are totally aware all the functionality from the desktop version should be available on mobile.

@feimosi as my podcast habit has grown, what surprised me is how critical the 1x→2x feature has become. Who knew @eriktorenberg spoke so slowly ;) ...and it's almost a deal breaker to listening to any podcast if I can't kick up the speed.
Great product, the UX/UI is well-thought.
A feature I would like to see is to have a page that sums up each podcast with new comments, highlighted parts, links etc. Kind of a curated "podcast page" which I can skim over to see if it's worth listening to.

t;dr: Social podcasting done right! Can't wait to see it growing.
Pros:When you connect anthropology with tech - all good happens. The social effect is a great opportunity for Bitcast.
Cons:I'd say the current list of features to come is a good one, just need execution done right.
