Readit NewsI'm still developing podcast websites with transcripts[^0] while maintaining a part-time job.
This thread made me realize I've made no progress in acquiring new clients since posting about this 6 months ago. However, my part-time job ends in May, which will allow me to focus exclusively on Fanfare. It's somewhat intimidating, but I'm also looking forward to it; the prospect of resolving this uncertain situation (either through success or failure) feels liberating.

I got this trick from someone on the Internet:
$> long_running_command && say "Witness me, for I am done"
I'm building a service for podcast websites with transcripts[^0]. I have paying customers, including Volts[^1], and I'm genuinely passionate about serving them.
What's holding me back from scaling is primarily my own resistance to marketing, plus some pending improvements to the ChatGPT-based transcript editing system. Once I finish optimizing the LLM integration, I'll have no more excuses to avoid sales outreach. One thread I want to pursue is a magazine of podcast transcripts that I inherited: https://podread.org
I'd appreciate advice on authentic outreach strategies for reaching knowledge-focused podcasters. If anyone here has experience in this space or wants to collaborate, I'm open to connecting.

The reliability aspect of this self-contained system is quite impressive. Over the course of my life, I've personally experience many power outages, water outages, cell service outages, internet outages, etc. but never a natural gas outage.
It's definitely impressive. However, natural gas outages do happen. For example Winter Storm Uri in Texas led to gas outages.
Sadly, the outages and possible the loss of life connected to it could have been prevented if the gas companies hadn't fought back against stricter weatherization rules[^0].
> they made recommendations to the Railroad Commission to implement weatherization rules on the natural gas supply chain because there had been water coming up from the formations — it's called produced water, it's naturally occurring — and it was freezing at the top of the wellheads and restricting gas flow both at the wellheads and in pipelines.
And yes, the Railroad Commission is not in charge of trains, but oil and gas in Texas.

Previously, I co-founded and led a company developing ML solutions for TV stations and TV measurement companies, with projects like automated goal detection in ice hockey and a system for processing daily TV ratings in Switzerland. Currently, I am fully focused on my solo venture, https://www.withfanfare.com/, which provides transcripts for knowledge-dense podcasts. I'm seeking work to extend my runway and to keep learning and improving.
Curious how Atlas stacks up against Dia.
It also makes me think the right approach is AI at the OS level. At the end of the day, it’s reading text and writing it back into text boxes. Surprised Apple hasn’t gone further than a hidden right‑click “writing assistant.”
