I'm not sure if this is even allowed here, but I was trying to solve a problem for myself, and I thnk I've turned it into a solution others might like too.
I was trying to figure out a way for my parents to record audio and have it available for the kids via the yoto player without complex setup or knowledge of audio tools. So I built a simple podcast creator app. My parents can now login, hit record, talk into their phone, and hit done, and the app generates title, description, for the recording, and adds it to the podcast feed, that I can load into yoto and link to a card.
Here's my writeup:
