Comment on Show HN: Oration (iOS) turns pdfs into audiobooks

Comments

I would value a "notify me when it comes to Android" link, since your example is pretty good but not enough for me to buy an iOS device and the "Sign up" just unhelpfully points to the appstore (I say "unhelpfully" because you obviously do have a web presence, given the example player and the fact that clicking on the sample title just redirects back to https://player.oration.app implying that one could be logged in to the website)

Actually, having written all of that, I would value just being able to submit things via your site, since based on your description it doesn't do any on-device processing so why do I even need on app?

Thank you for your comment! We're actively working on releasing an Android app soon - we definitely didn't want to neglect Android and are aiming to ship a great experiences on the Play Store soon. We actually do have a preliminary web app that I'd be happy to share with you - it's not as polished as the iOS app, so kindly bear that in mind (we're expecting to ship an improved browser app shortly)

I appreciate you valuing submitting things via the site : give this a try! https://www.oration.app/accounts/signup/

why do I even need on app? This is a valid question - we prioritized building out a nice experience on an iOS app first and will release a solid web counterpart in the near future.

Definitely would love to hear your feedback and stay in touch
