Description

Hey HN, I've built a new feature to listen to blog posts. I also have an app, that's what I personally use to listen to audio while driving.I would love to get some feedback on the UX and whether this is useful for you!

Could you build this?

Yes Extracting text from blog URLs (using Readability/Cheerio) and PDFs (via pdf-parse), feeding it into a TTS API (ElevenLabs or OpenAI Audio), and serving it in a web or mobile player is a textbook vibe-coding project.
