Currently working on https://soundcheck.ing (WIP)
I would suggest looking at communities and websites that are targeting fantasy novels and Tabletop RPGs. You're headed in the right direction.
Unfortunately that solution doesn't exist yet.
We meet monthly to give each other advice and help each other out. It's hard, it can take more time, but it's been a great experience, and I hope that this starts to become the norm over time.
Here's the group:
- Eric Berry with CodeFund (https://codefund.io)
- David Fischer with ReadTheDocs (https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advertising/ethical-ad...)
- Roberto Galoppini with Filezilla (https://filezilla-project.org/ethical_ads.php)
- Harley Hicks (Me) with RoutineHub (https://routinehub.co/ads)
Under "Usage Information":
> We may collect information about: how you communicate with those Wavers, such as their names, the time and date of your communications...
I know you're not storing the actual messages (in plain text at least), but I don't like the idea that you're storing who I'm talking to.
Under "Information Provided By Third Parties":
> - Advertisers may let us know you installed a new app or games so we can determine whether we showed you an ad for it.
> - If you interact with one of our advertisers, they may share information with us to help target or measure the performance of ads.
> - If another user uploads their contact list, we may combine information from the user's contact list with other information we have collected about you.
That's too much profiling for my liking.
In the end, even though the messages are "private", I don't feel that this app is taking my _privacy_ seriously.
Otherwise, I like the design, the UI and the idea. We need more competitors in this space. I do desire a web version of any message platform I use. It makes it easier for me to communicate throughout the day.
I was excited about Apple's new Shortcuts app and just how powerful it is, but there seemed to be a huge pain point that there didn't seem to be a great community for it or a way to keep track of versions, etc. So I created RoutineHub.
I'm really excited to see other people's Shortcuts!
But seriously, in my experience, I'd rather use something other than Wordpress. There are lots of things it does well, but not usually for the projects I work on. Use the tool that works well for the project.
I wrote a blog post to explain what Hedphones is all about: https://hedphon.es/blog/1/say-hello-to-hedphones
Or if you want a quick rundown, you can read the FAQ: https://hedphon.es/faq/
Or you can skip all that and go straight to the beta signup form : https://hedphon.es/beta-signup/
Let me know what you think!
