Show HN: TLDR (short) news website with my own algorithm I'm actively working on a news shortening website. Trying to save you from clickbaits, save your time and save you from reading Bible-sized articles What I hate the most when reading news is reading Bible-size articles just to find the main point of the article.

We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
