Cool project! It would be nice to have a way to listen to more recordings of specific persons. And maybe have personal profile with little bio.

Yeah, I'm thinking through some kind of profile creation (not the right wording). My concern is if I start to strip away some of the anonymity, then it might detract from the sentiment. But I'm open to ideas!

Good callout. Will definitely keep that in mind. Thanks!

Maybe a middle ground — let people pick a pseudonym and a one-line tagline, but no real identity. You keep the warmth of anonymity while still letting listeners find voices they connected with.

That's actually quite classy! I guess reddit/HN is similar. Pseudonym on the front end with email auth. That could work here too. Thank you for the nudge, what a great idea.
