Clubhouse, a popular audio chat app is reportedly working on ‘Waves’, a new way to invite people to audio rooms in its app. The invite feature is focused on the more casual, social side of Clubhouse.

This has also created competition everywhere, from Twitter Spaces to Discord’s Stage Channels, but Waves seems like a good step towards the casual use of drop-in/drop-out live audio.
