A Twitter Spaces like service on Mastodon

Today I will talk about another open source project, this time it is a platform that brings Twitter Spaces to Mastodon. The project is called Audon and named after Audio + Mastodon.

I think the killer feature of this platform is that it works with Mastodon. I tested it today and it works well. I used what I believe it is the official instance. There isn’t a lot of information para the project in their Git repo, but I used two different accounts from different Mastodon instances and I managed to have a conversation like one would on Twitter Spaces.

Audon allowed me to request to speak and as a host I got notified that someone request to speak and was able to grant permission. It’s fully featured as far as I can see. It’s great to see this type of project coming to life in the Fediverse. I hope third party apps for Mastodon will one day support this.
