Built a Hacker News radio web app I can listen to

In plain words

SoundGecko is a web app that converts Hacker News stories into audio format for listening. Launched in 2013, it allows users to consume popular tech and startup news through their ears rather than reading. The tool is designed for people who want to stay informed about Hacker News content while commuting, exercising, or multitasking. It bridges the gap between text-based news consumption and audio-based learning.
