Sometimes I listen to a podcast and want to share an excerpt of an interview, or a short passage with friends. Unfortunately, you have to do several long and tedious operations, download the podcast, cut it, host it somewhere and then share it. It's long and it discourages to do it.

It would be great to have a tool to easily share an excerpt of podcast on the networks.

You would just have to indicate the beginning and the end of the clip, then it would generate a link so that you can share it on social networks or blogs.

I don't think it exists... at least I haven't found anything.

Ideally the tool should not retrieve the original .mp3 file to edit it, cut it, save it on a cloud... what would be really great is that it would use the link to the original file and that it would simply be a player that would follow the "start" and "end" playback indications of the extract. So we wouldn't need to host large amounts of .mp3 on a cloud.

Free and open source ideas (#FOSI)

It happens to us all to have good ideas but unfortunately we don't always have the time or the ability to realize them...

Instead of these ideas getting lost or dying we can share them and maybe they will be heard by someone in the free software community who is in need of inspiration but has the time and ability to realize them. 🤞

You can also share your idea and ask if people in the community are interested in helping you make it happen.
