Show HN: Bare is a Google Reader for tweets that look like blog posts I first submitted BARE here about a year ago. Since then, a lot of people signed up for our tiny side project. Enough to say that it is well past breaking even! We tried many ideas, and ultimately settled on the simple design and the RSS output by default. It is incredible how many people still use RSS nowadays. Thanks to all of you! Below is the original Show HN post from last year: BARE grew out of the idea to reduce one's Twitter timeline to bare tweets - blog-post-like writings devoid of media, links, hashtags, or any social interaction mechanics. Once you sign up with BARE, it will continuously check your Twitter timeline and only show you the long-form text-based tweets in it. Like a good old blog reader. But why do that, you may ask? What's the point? Because, we believe that this is one of the easiest ways to discover people's true personality, beneath the chatter and social media clickbait. It is also a naturally distraction-free method to keep oneself concentrated over the content without the urge to skim and keep scrolling down. One of the easiest ways to evoke concentration is to reduce the sources of distraction. Is anybody actually writing such tweets? A lot of people. Check the tiny portion we follow here: https://bare.tw/ and discover the ones in your timeline by signing up. https://bare.tw October 4, 2022 at 08:55PM
Show HN: Tape It, iOS recording app for musicians Hello HN, Over the last 15 months, two friends and I developed the music recording app we felt we wanted based on our own needs as musicians. It's called Tape It [1] and has just recently hit the Apple App Store [2]. 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...
