Most speakers on Quest haven't published their answers anywhere else before because it's easier to create something sincere and personal using audio. Since people already listen to audio advice in for instance podcasts, we think it works.

Anyway, I'm genuinely sorry for your frustration. I hope your day progresses smoothly otherwise.

Ouch, that first one is definitely a bug. As for duration, that's definitely something that's missing and we can fix it by showing a proper timeline. You can already click on someone's profile to listen only to their answers, but we could make that easier to find and do as well.

Thanks for this!

Hi, founder of Quest here. Yeah I guess it is! We're building an audio Q&A app where experts answer questions in short audio clips. We're starting with career advice and are already hosting 100+ speakers so far.

Thanks for sharing this! As someone in a fiberless city (Amsterdam), with a monopolistic local provider that's unwilling to expand, this is inspiring.

I now little about the stock market, so I'm not sure why you're upset but it sounds important! :) Anyone care to elaborate?

Could you elaborate on your distribution? I've seen many posts like this, but they never speak about how they got to those first 5.000 downloads. You say there was no marketing involved...?

How do you guys think this actually works in a sense of equity? Google Ventures gets a stake in Firespotter. What happens if they spin-off one of their ideas into a new company? I take it Google Ventures is still involved then, right? Why invest otherwise?

There's some heart breaking stories in the comments. A young student, supported by his lonely mother, is now forced to be a pirate again. Honest hard-working individuals now have to drink two whole beers less every month to pay for a subscription. It's a sad, sad day for cheapskates ;'(

You're missing her point. Usability is not why she's doing this. It's about curiosity. That makes this just a very early stage ventures to me, which might someday be more useful than we would've though initially.

I really loved reading this post. Thanks Marc, for sharing! I'm sure that brought back some painful memories. Totally worth it to us ;)
