Re:Show HN: Junco, turn newsletters into short audio episodes on Tuesday June 02, 2026 @08:13PM (#48377989)

LLM summaries are basically free, its the TTS where the costs add up. Currently its ~.03 cents per episode. That is a number I've been happy with while running our beta testing. I found that power users were eating up nearly all or sometimes a tiny bit more than $5/month in costs but on average users were typically under that putting me in profit.

There is still a lot more optimizations that I have planned to bring that TTS cost down more. With scale I think I would buy out server space for running TTS models but at current volume API makes more sense and is not cost prohibitive to me.

Hey HN, I released my app Junco today to the iOS app store. Junco turns your newsletters emails and RSS feeds into short 2-5 minute podcast style episodes. You can listen to them while walking, commuting, showering, etc.You can connect your gmail account to have them auto generated each day or use the email we give you. You also have the option to follow RSS feeds in the app "discover" section....

I am also curious. Considering the kimi coding plan but I'm worried about data privacy and security.

How are you using kimi 2.6? I am considering their coding plan to replace my claude max 5x but I am worried about privacy and security.

Thank you for the comment - based on your feedback we have enhanced a bit the experience for users without logging in.

Now on the landing page users are able to input cards to their liking and compare them at different vendors/categories to determine the best card without login.
