juke's a live audio client, but live only works when people are online at the same time. that's hard on a network this size right now. voice notes don't need concurrency. you post, someone hears it on their own time. recorded my first one here.

Twitter shipped voice notes in 2020, quietly killed them. Wasn't that the idea was wrong. I think the network just wasn't really equipped for it. It's a text based network with a lot of other formats that were just doing a lot better at the time. Plus spaces being concurrent works a lot better on Twitter because there's so many users. I think on Farcaster, it's smaller. It's weirder. Concurrency is tough. So voice actually kind of is a good signal. Plus in the world of AI, you can actually hear someone. Of course, you could use AI voice, I suppose, still. So that's why I built voice notes for Duke. Record up to sixty seconds right in the app. It gets auto transcribed. You can scrub through the waveform. It's got speed controls, and then you can cast it to Forecaster, and it'll show up as a mini app with a player in the feed that anyone can tap and listen to.
