Looking for dev to help build https://oracy.app/ and make it profitable

I put together https://oracy.app because I love audiobooks but want a smooth Spotify-like user experience, and the majority of public domain audiobooks sites/apps are plain ugly.

I tweeted my progress: https://twitter.com/damirkotoric/status/1196652956688338945

If you're interested, let's pair up. I have a revenute strategy, and we can talk about how to split revenue etc.

Great devs only please :)

    I really love reading myself I'd love to join you on this quest. I have been looking into this too. I think we'll make a great team. I'm a full stack developer and I'm getting into marketing at the moment. If you're interested shoot me an email:barakcodes@gmail.com

    This sounds awesome! I love the idea of Spotify for audiobooks! I'd love to help with the development of the product. I can send you my resume and some of my previous projects if you're interested.

    You can contact me at jwpeachey107@aol.com.

    Thanks!

    are you basically trying to create a better UI/UX for https://librivox.org/ ?

    1. 1

      Yes, exactly. In fact, the site is using librivox audiobooks.

        good idea!
        won't you have issues if you are going to charge for your service since librivox is free?

        1. 1

          Not planning to charge for the product. It would stay free for life. The revenue would come in through affiliate links to places like Amazon, Alibaba and co.

          Someone listens to Sun Tzu's Art of War. Place featured products like T-shirts from Redbubble: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/sun+tzu?ref=search_box

          Depending on the audiobook being played, the relevant products would be shown on the audiobook's page.

            that's actually interesting. Basically you want to do a targeted adv but doing it native inside the platform.

            What's the current stack?

            1. 1

              Not inside any platform. This is a PWA. Eventually could turn into native apps. The current stack is HTML, CSS, jQuery on the front. Node.js, Express, Handlebars on the back.

                and what type of help you need?

                1. 1

                  I'm looking for help from a full-stack dev.

                  1. 1

                    need to fix something in the UI? or need help in the backend? I might be helpful on the latter
