    Hi HN, I built SceneReaderAI to help actors and creators hear their scripts read aloud using natural AI voices. You can try it free (200 words included) here → https://scenereaderai.com It supports 6+ AI voices, lets you replay your readings unlimited times, and charges only per spoken word (no monthly subscription). I’d love feedback on: • How clear the workflow feels • Whether the pay-per-word model makes sense • What voices/features would make it more useful for you I’m the solo builder and launched this earlier this year — would really appreciate your thoughts!

    Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history.

I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
