Hey @manton,

I think this is ready to go. It adds the ability to narrated blog posts, using a more simple recording screen that shows the blog post, with easy controls to save & publish. In addition to this, you can edit recordings as needed and add segments just like the main part of the app — You've seen the videos on that already so I won't attach again.

Additionally, we now also have the listen later functionality in the app. This lives in the Discover screen and you can filter what you want to see.

I am still debating if we should use the icons or we need a different visual filter instead of the dropdown in the header area. As an aside this filtering is also included on the posts page where you can now filter via Podcasts, Narrated, Posts (that are not narrated) and all.

posts-filter

Recordings also shows a list of everything audio related if available, so you can see narrated posts here too.

I'm a little torn if we show everything on every page, or if we should just simplify somewhere — I think as a v1 here this is fine, but up for suggestions.

Let me know what you think.

Agent notes

Wavelength can now record a short narration onto an existing Micro.blog post. Open the post, record from the compact toolbar over the preview, then Save. That upload prepends a hidden <audio> tag and sends the Micropub audio property, matching how the web app attaches narration.

Before Save, Edit opens a clip editor with the same vocabulary as episode recording: waveform, split, delete a piece, record another segment, or import a file. Done applies a local take only. Save on Narrate is the upload. Once a take is live, the header Edit menu covers Retake, Edit Audio, and Delete. Deleting strips the hidden tag and omits the old audio URL so the server cannot re-append it.

Lists follow that model. On Posts, All marks narrated and podcast items. Recordings defaults to All and can filter to Podcasts or Narrations, with timestamps, kind icons, and post summaries on podcasts.

This branch also includes a few supporting changes that landed alongside the feature: post filters in the header (default Podcasts), Record restored as a detached iOS tab, and iOS 27 scene-lifecycle / build fixes.
