I want to turn your idea into a demo

I'm going to compete in the LAUNCH Hackathon at the end of the month, and want to present a demo that wows the judges.

I'm doing this because I work with a talented team, and we've decided to show rather than tell what we're capable of.

So what are some ideas you'd love to see a demo of? If you submit through https://launch.appoutloud.com and I pick your idea, then you'll have full ownership of the demo.

    Hey guys. I listen to many podcast and I'm even considering starting one with some friends. The problem is that there are no great apps in which you could do all the podcast on them instead of using several softwares.

    It would be awesome if there was a podcast-creator-app, with already back sound tracks, templates, interviews questions, story telling ideas, ways to do conclusions , even quotes.

    Give the opportunity toeveryone to be able to make their own podcast

    What if you could add your own advertiser on the go? Hear a podcast and you find a great moment to ad an ad of your company, you want to ad it and pay for it. How can I get into the audio and get my ad there, pay for it and go. Just one click to ad your advertising to that podcast, you put your credit card and you just talk or upload your prerecord ad. This will create revenue for people that create great podcasts but don't know how to market them.

    Issues to consider: 1-How this will affect the quality of the podcast ( specific places to upload the ad)

    2-The ad must be accepted (so it won't get troll or stuff not related) but it should be smooth to add your credit card and audio and get in. (stripe?)

    Flexibility: You don't need pre establish format. You don't need a contract or pay for every episode, you pay for that one because you felt it.

    See you!

    (if you want to talk more about it @JDcarlu :) )

    Try to work on your own ideas.

    One of the things I noticed early on was that I always pushed myself that extra mile when I was working on my own ideas.

    It's actually intrinsically more rewarding to be able to visualize your idea coming to life.

    Is there any other way of submitting, apart from FB? Have deactivated FB for more than year. Active on Twitter though.

    I got this message when I tried to submit:

    "The change you wanted was rejected. Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to."

    You have an email address? I'll just send you the concept...
