Hello fellow hackers,
I'm new to this, so I'll try to be direct and concise. I finished the MVP of my side project and wanted to hear what you all thought about the landing page and the idea itself.
I basically built a simple web app to download/listen Twitter spaces and create a personalized podcast from the Twitter spaces you downloaded.
You can either listen directly or download spaces as MP3, or use a podcast app to listen to your spaces: https://spaceFeed.co
Any feedback is appreciated!
Thank you!
P.s: You can message me if you would like get a trial password to give it a try.
This is a neat idea. I think seeing an audio or video example would pique my interest a bit more though.
Demo and sample recordings will be available soon.
Thank you!
(1) I really like the steps being outlined
(2) It would be great to have a marketplace of podcasts from spaces actually
(3) I think the majority of people wont come to your page directly and have a podcast to download, so I might consider putting some examples/demos at the top and moving the link converter to another page or further down
Great stuff btw!
Thank you!
Really cool idea !!!
Thank you!
This is a really cool idea! I like how you clearly describe what the service does in a very small amount of space. I went from before clicking on the link thinking "spaceFeed sounds kind of weird" to reading your headline and thinking "wow, this is a really great tool! I get why it's called 'spaceFeed'".
I don't really use spaces at all and don't really know where I would find a space I want to listen to. My recommendation is to show some examples of some high quality spaces that are available.
Maybe have a preset playlist / podcast so that users can see what is available as a demo. Also maybe provide some instructions on how to find valuable spaces.
I took a quick look at the Tutorial page and it seemed to be explaining how to set up a podcast (also, none of the tutorials seem to be links - I tried clicking on the tutorials and it doesn't do anything). I would imagine most people who are technical enough to know they want to listen to spaces probably know how to set up a podcast. I'd recommend focusing the tutorials on how to find spaces worth listening to.
Maybe even have a list on the home page of the most often downloaded/subscribed spaces (you could then ping the user on Twitter who created the space and let them know they are on the leaderboard and hopefully they'll retweet you and bring some traffic).
Thank you very much!
I'm still looking into finding a viable way to discover new spaces. Twitter API for spaces is in pretty early stages, so not very powerful yet.
Demo is a great idea! I will add that soon.
Thanks again for your feedback.
The homepage looks nice and simple, I don't use Twitter Spaces so don't have feedback on the idea sorry but here's some quick layout notes:
Thanks a lot for the feedback and suggestions!
really cool:))
Thank you :)
I can definitely see how this can be useful. But like the other commenters, I don't use Spaces. I can't even find an example that I can try with.
So you're kinda in the mercy of people making good content in Spaces, having them be discoverable, having people like those kind of content instead of other established podcast/platform, and also that Twitter will continue pushing Spaces. Will be pretty tough finding users IMO.
That said, if I ever need to download the mp3, I will definitely remember your product. The question is whether I can find you at that point in the future.
Yeah agreed for the most part. I look at it as "sharing a side-project" rather than a sustainable business. Have other ideas to expand on this for future, will see.
Thanks for your comment!
Hi. I only saw the ad for twitter spaces, so I don't know if there's a demand for downloading mp3s from spaces. But I would like to raise an issue though -- as I understand your SaaS basically records people's convos -- is this (for lack of a better term to express) ethical? (I hope this doesn't come across as confrontational, but would you please explain the reasoning behind the idea?)
It can only download the Twitter Spaces that are already saved by the host to play later on Twitter platform. There is nothing unethical or shady about the approach. Moreover, these convos are public convos that you already share with the world. It's not like secretly recording people's private conversations. I don't know how you end up with such a conclusion.
thanks for clarifying that ;)

Hi,
I think you completely misunderstood it. It only downloads Twitter Spaces and let's you listen on your podcast app. No text-to-speech or anything, just the actual conversation that is recorded on Twitter Spaces.
I don't know how you get the idea that a machine is reading tweets :) It has nothing to do with tweets or TTS.
Thanks for your comment.
