A whole new look for Shuffle
At Shuffle, we’re focused on helping people discover the best ideas and stories locked up in long podcasts.
This means making clip creation way more easy and fun for Shuffle curators. That’s why we’re excited to launch a new version of the app today which gives curators the tools they need to create and share really creative and fun clips. For the first time, podcasts can go viral!
For the last few months, we’ve been iterating on the app with a small but tight curator community. We’ll be expanding the community with a public beta soon, so stay tuned!
An immediate response from Twitter which made us pretty happy:
