WisdomSnap

Hey HN, I follow a lot of podcasts and the episodes are often 2-3 hours long, so I made a web app that gives me a structured podcast summary with applicable habits and recommendations. My goal isn’t to discourage you from listening to the podcast, but rather to help you decide whether the episode is worthwhile and to provide notes. The endgame is to give you a personal feed of podcasts that you follow, maybe even deliver it to your inbox or via RSS. My tech stack is quite simple - React Router(v7), node.js and PostgreSQL with Redis. I'm using OpenAI API to generate the summary from the…

In plain words

Wisdomsnap is a web app that generates structured summaries of podcast episodes, extracting key habits and recommendations from lengthy audio content. It uses OpenAI's API to process episode transcripts and create organized notes, helping listeners decide whether an episode is worth their time. The app currently offers personal podcast feeds with plans to add inbox and RSS delivery. Built with React Router, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Redis, it targets podcast enthusiasts looking to stay informed without committing to full-length episodes.

    Hi HN, wanted to share a project that I’ve been working on recently. PodText allows users to find anything said on a podcast. You can also listen and share clips to a specific part of the podcast audio, simply by highlighting the text of that part. Currently there are just over 25k podcast episodes and I’m adding a lot more in the coming weeks (yes my GPU bill is painful). In order to monetize it, I’m building a sponsorship database to help sponsors find podcasts and vice versa. This will be sold in the form of a $99/month “PodText Business” subscription. I bet I could charge a lot more…

    Scribbler – Podcast Summaries Using GPT2023 · app.scribbler.so · ▲91

    Hey, we're Phil and Ian, the founders of Scribbler. We're huge podcast fans, but found we never had enough time to soak it all in. So, we built Scribbler - a tool that leverages GPT to condense podcast episodes into bite-sized summaries for when life's too busy. Now, we can catch the best bits from any episode, discover new shows, and best of all, stop wasting valuable time figuring out what's worth listening to and what's not. We hope you'll find it useful!

  • PodSnap.AI – automatic AI summaries for your favorite podcasts2024 · podsnap.ai · ▲9

    Hi HN, A couple months ago, a friend mentioned that there are too many great podcasts to keep up with. We searched for a solution but didn't find one and realized that many other listeners likely face the same problem. So, I built PodSnap.AI, a service that keeps track of new podcast episodes and automatically sends AI-generated text and audio summaries to your inbox as soon as they are published. This way, users can quickly get the key insights and decide whether to watch the full episode. The service supports podcasts on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. It's still beta, so I'd highly…

  • Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…

I ended up learning about parametric equations again, and make this visualization to document what I learned: https://visualrambling.space/moving-objects-in-3d/ feel free to visit and let me know what you think!
