I think it’s fair enough, and that we dive into the detail before producing an overview. Worth thinking on that and how we’d do it. |

I'm thinking a sort of "Who? What? When? Where? How?" approach could be a good start. I'm working on some of that right now for the front page. |

Hi guys, I hope I'm welcome to join the conversation here. 😁 I was actually coming to say something similar, that for a listener, they are non wiser about why they should care about PC2.0 (is that the right abbreviation?) They are shown a list of apps, but they will have a harder time changing from what they are comfortable with, without good reason. Maybe before listing all the apps, it would be good to describe the benefit to the listener. Instead of the Transcripts not only benefit hearing-impaired people, but also allow anyone to consume a podcast, even if they can't hear it at the time. You can also find something specific in a transcript by using a page search. On a more meta level, it supports the idea of there being a level playing field. That could be a good enough reason for people to change from the monolithic Apple and Spotify, to more grass-roots, OSS, future-thinking apps. Personally, I'm looking at the potential for audiobooks, as the distribution power for these is very centralized. How many people can name more than Audible for audiobooks? How many independent authors would like to avoid the big A for publishing not only their print / e-books, but audiobooks as well. There is a massive potential to quickly have feature parity with Audible, in supporting PC2.0 apps. |

One thing I'd recommend changing is the collective noun of "Audience" to the singular noun of "Listener". When someone comes to the site, they automatically try to categorize themselves based on the options given. Devs are no problems, and neither are podcasters, but an individual who consumes podcasts will think "am I an audience?" which adds a little friction as soon as they get here. "Audience" suggests that every listener is just part of one big group and doesn't have individual preferences or tastes. "Audience" is framed from the point of view of the performer. If you say "for Listeners" they will immediately identify "hey, I listen to podcasts" and it's easy to categorize themselves as it's from their own point of view. Then they will click to find out "how will this benefit me?" |
