A lot of thought went into this! :)

On X, counter of views somehow managed to break with the announcement of HearHere😭

New update just dropped - you can now reorder playlists! Also - drop a follow at @hearhere.media! testflight.apple.com/join/wDSe8FWU #buildinpublic #designsky #ux #testflight #design

What's the app you've been using lately the most? And why?

Milo is now more integrated into HearHere.

Sometimes I love Liquid Glass

HearHere just got a big update → Long-press words in episode notes to look them up → Tap timestamps to jump right to that moment → Links open in-app (bye Safari redirects) → Sort & pin your favorite podcasts (up to 6 pinned!) #buildinpublic #podcast #designsky testflight.apple.com/join/wDSe8FWU

Smooth interaction. Just swipe up/down to read episode notes.

I just switched to iPhone Air and it feels crazy

Didn't want to hype it too much but now that everything is working –– HearHere is coming to all of your platforms. In a few days the next TestFlight drops and it will be available for iOS, iPadOS, WatchOS and tvOS. #buildinpublic #podcast #designsky

I decided to ditch 10 step onboarding with just 1 step onboarding. Users don't want to use your app, they just want to get things done. In my case, they want to listen to podcasts and if they can't navigate the app without a 10 step onboarding then I did a bad job.

BIG UPDATE: - Simpler design - Siri integration (Try saying “Hey Siri, play latest episode in HearHere”) - Apple Shortcuts integration - Spotlight integration - Faster podcast fetching of new episodes testflight.apple.com/join/wDSe8FWU #podcast #buildinpublic #designsky #ux

iPad version almost ready!
