Show HN: Built a Hacker News radio web app I can listen to

I'd be awesome if this was on github so people could improve the parsing. For one, it reads stuff that is obviously not meant to be read "live", but are just informational tables.

I'd also be awesome if this was a Shoutcast stream that also had live people doing shows as well.

Edit: Also, switch voices between entries, and continue reading entires one after the next.

Yeah parsing is a tough challenge for something as diverse as Hacker News where the content could be anything between a thesis, a blog post, to a picture gallery.

Will investigate Shoutcast but there might not be enough content to have a continuous stream of content.

You'll be glad to know it already switches voices between entries and automatically plays the following entry :)

Could you integrate Readability or a similar service? Then the hard work of parsing out the meat of the page would be done for you.
