Transcript: Kevin Smith Let's start off with the LibroFM audiobook integration. So this is really a big one. I can't state this enough. Since we started Snipped, we've been hearing from you how much you'd like to use Snipped with audiobooks. And when we introduced the uploads feature, I think last year it was, we were super happy to see that many of you actually started uploading audiobooks. However the problem was still that it was quite a cumbersome process so especially if you bought your audiobooks from Audible. I mean the thing with Audible is like basically Amazon does not want you to listen to your audiobooks on other players. So you had to use a third-party software called Libation in order for it to make it work. So we were actually quite excited when some of our users, so some of you, told us about this different audiobook platform called Libro.fm. And the thing that's special about Libro.fm in our context is that they believe that you, the customer, should have the right to listen to your audiobooks in whatever player you like. So that sounded very promising when we heard that. Yeah, so long story short, we decided to build an integration. Here's how the integration works. In a nutshell, you just log into your Libro.fm account inside of the Snipped app, and then you will see all of your audiobooks that you've bought on Libro.fm and can upload them to Snip In one click. Libro.fm itself is very similar to Audible. So you can either buy single audiobooks or you get a monthly subscription where you get one audiobook a month. But where they differ from Audible is that, one, you can download DRM3 MP3 files of your audiobook for personal use. So this is what makes it so interesting for Snipped.

Transcript: Kevin Smith Yeah, so we reached out to Library of M and they were kind enough to create an introductory offer for all SNIP users. So if you start a new monthly subscription with them and use the code SNIPT, you will get three audiobooks for the price of one. I'll also add the link in the description. So you can also just click directly on that link to get to this offer.

Transcript: Kevin Smith So basically, the feature where we identify all of the books that get mentioned, recommended on a podcast episode, we match this data set that we have internally with LibroFM's data Set. And what that enables us to do is that now you go to one of the mentioned books in the Snipped app, for many of them, you will see a buy on LibroFM button, which will direct you directly to The book on the LibroFM platform. So the next time you hear a great book recommendation on a podcast, you can just snip it, then go to the snip and click on the buy on LibroFM button, and then upload it to Snipped.

Transcript: Kevin Smith Okay, next up we have Snipped W 2025 i assume that in the meantime you've all seen it in the app we brought back the stories you guys like from last year so for example the the various snipping Statistics the topic scorecard also there's a little fun thing with the with the personality but what was new this year is that we prepared the most snipped episodes not just overall But for 26 different topic categories and I don't know whether you noticed this this was a little small detail we actually sorted the topics according to which ones you've listened To the most this year. So I think for me, it was like the top five were, let me check. Yeah, the top five are for me, business, startups, AI, personal growth, and storytelling. So yeah, maybe have another look at the topics and let us know whether you agree with the top topics being in line with what you listen to. Yeah, but the reason that I'm actually bringing all of this up is that we would really like to improve the discovery experience inside of next year. ([Time 0:05:41](https://share.snipd.com/snip/7c804ef4-3dcf-44fd-adfe-c2f8c29920bc)) - **Give Feedback On Discovery** - Use the feedback chat to tell Snipd whether topic-driven discovery resonates with you. - Provide ideas for discovery directions so the team can prioritize improvements next year. Transcript: Kevin Smith Yeah, but the reason that I'm actually bringing all of this up is that we would really like to improve the discovery experience inside of next year. So please do reach out to us via the feedback chat to let us know whether this topic-based discovery resonates with you. Like obviously there are many different directions to morph this into but I'd just like to hear whether there's anything that resonates with you about being topic driven rather than A single algorithmic feed. ([Time 0:06:57](https://share.snipd.com/snip/90f8f12f-f333-49e1-a3ee-6e638ba8bf25)) - **Daily Snip Experiment** - Daily Snip is an experiment that delivers one insight per day from an episode to drive discovery. - Users can save the daily insight as a snip and jump into the full episode if they want more. Transcript: Kevin Smith As you guys know, we love experiments. So this one we call daily snip. And the concept is pretty straightforward. Each day you get one insight from an interesting episode. If you like the insight, you can of course save it as a snip and start listening to the full episode. So it basically becomes a sort of discovery feature. If you'd like to try it out, just head over to the settings, go to experiments, and then activate the daily snip feature.
