This is truly fascinating. Taking a modern platform and overlaying archaic style appointment tv watching really transforms how it feels, which is kind of strange.

Good job :)

Thank you for the feedback and ideas.

It's funny you mention a game timer, i've actually got that down as a potential next iteration idea because yeah we do for example set out (injuries aside) interchanges that will happen at 20 minutes etc so timing that down might be useful for sure. It started off as a tactics only app but its slowly evolving into a game management app to (when i added subs during development, an originally unscoped feature) so it would make sense to go further now for sure.

The idea about the ball being placeable is a fantastic one that I will look to add, and yes saving formations is something i have on my wishlist too.

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it!.

Only need to look at Australia as to where this ends up. It's a disgrace. And yes it ruins sports broadcasts. Kids can't watch without getting hammered about odds anymore.

In Australia a huge push is on to get it banned from tv.

This is actually a really interesting concept, tried it out. Worked well.

I can see it being useful for business podcasts, like key points people are making etc as you are summarising.

One feature you could look at implementing is allowing users to trigger the summary once its listened to (you would have to somehow link into their spotify or apple music or whatever account etc) but people do often with business and other learning podcasts love to have key take aways etc and take their own notes.

Productising that (as you have done so to an extent here) would be pretty interesting. So also serving people that want to actually listen to the cast as well.

Just more proof that OpenAI is now a product led company and not a research led company (obviously they will continue to research but that will lead to consumer product).

Big pivot.

If the EC just sit by and let this happen they may as well have done nothing.

I suspect they will in fact not just let this happen. It's absoutely garbage what apple has done.

Sideloading to the EU likely would be seen by them as the same as android (when side loading is enabled). Download file, copy to system, install. Done.

and that is how it should be seen in reality.

Personally I think you are making the right call avoiding subscriptions in a side hustle project like this.

Once subscriptions get involved you have to deal with a lot more complexity, churn metrics, refunds (more so than now because of people 'forgetting' to unsub), the stuff around do you pro-rata at subscription cancel or leave it running until date is reached, stripe makes that a little easier but its still a thing.

so yeah, good move imo.
