Many listeners of podcasts are doing so while multi-tasking. Text based would be requiring direct attention that I don't think would win over the vast majority of people.
Based on research, a significant majority of podcast listeners—up to 94%—multitask while tuning in, with about 59% doing so regularly. Podcasts are often chosen because they allow listeners to consume content while their hands and body are occupied with other tasks.
This is true. I would also think about more reasons people listen to podcasts and try to work through how this would also translate to a text based platform. Compelling storytellers, interviewers, and experts I would argue also command a top percentage of listeners with their charisma. While this is definitely possible through text given the existence of other written media, I think it would be harder to convey in a similar context as that of a podcast.
What would be the competitive advantage of your idea over a compelling web magazine or newsletter with a built in comment/chat section?
These are some of the questions I would ask and try to prove.
I landed with Claude as my daily driver LLM. As it is still limited in some capacities I do also work with ChatGPT and Gemini where they give better results in specific circumstances.
An alternative to spelltable is a great idea! My friend group played extensively a few years back through it but always ran into weird bugs and glitches.
I love that there is no sign-up required! Do you have plans to implement utilizing a mobile phone as a camera? Spelltables implementation leaves much to be desired.
Thanks boreal! I have it on my feature request list. I'm currently using a custom WebRTC + Websocket implementation for connections that I wrote without having this feature in mind, so reworking that will take some effort. Currently focused on client-side inference (runs in the user's browser), followed by continuous tracking (think: Snapshot the entire frame every 5s so all players know what cards are on the board at any given time). Will probably get to that in the next week or two!

I'm working on a free lightweight solution to auditing recurring subscriptions from a pasted bank/cc statement, born from my best friends financial illiteracy. All done in browser, no account sign-ups, no data transmitted to a server, and packed into a single HTML file so that the privacy and ethics can be viewed and verified.
Currently it covers 6 regions, 250+ subscription services, across 30+ categories, recognizing 850+ billing name patterns. It even has built in smart alerts for different services and region specific considerations. (FTC's Adobe settlement, Hola VPN Danger, UK Price Hike Exit Rights, Cloud Act Warning, etc)
It adds up monthly spend/annual spend. Identifies alternative saving opportunities/more ethical options.
I have plans to add additional regions but that will take extra research to understand the realities of those markets and the providers within them. I also don't speak any other languages, so this may also be a bit of a hurdle.
