How I came up with the CastAsync idea

At the beginning of 2022, my friend and I started our own podcast Line42, a podcast on freelancing & web development: https://line42.transistor.fm/episodes.

The problem we faced after a few months of recording is that sometimes life and business get in your way.

So we had to pause recording it because of such events that kept us from being able to find time for sit down and record an episode.

We've discussed this issue we had and I came up with the idea after our phone call.

A way to record your episodes without you needing your co-host or guests to be there at the same time.

So I imagined a product where I can record what I wanted to say for 5-10 minutes.

Then wait for my co-host to jump in and do the same (maybe the same day or the next day).

After that, we'd repeat the process until we're happy with the episode.

So I really liked it since we would also be the first customer of the product.

A month or two after it, I finally launched (soft-launched) the MVP on https://castasync.com
