Interesting point on audio books though, I might look into creating a single narration for batches of articles in the same way I currently do for PDF/EPUB.
I've been iterating on an app idea for about 6 months now. I kept emailing articles to my Kindle as messy PDFs, so I built a tool to batch them into clean EPUBs and deliver them on a schedule. Six months later, it's grown into a "consume it later" app for articles, podcasts, notes, and RSS feeds.Some of its key features... - AI narration, listen to any article - Speed reading mode -...
I managed to create this site in about 4 hours on Saturday morning. I've got lots more ideas for taking it forwards but am already finding it quite useful so thought I would throw it on here and get peoples thoughts.I plan to integrate Spotify in to the site giving you the option to play an individual suggested track or the whole playlist of suggested tracks.Please let me know what you think....
They all seem like good valid points that need to be addressed if I decide to take this further, which I think I am going to do.
Thanks again
I'm trying to work out some sort of gaming mechanic, just trying to work out what the reward would be as I'm not sure badges on a site like this would be enough.
I take your point about the advertising, I think I will look at hiding that bar until there is much bigger audience.
Its designed to work global but I intend to only push it in my local town to start with where I can seed the data myself with the hope that it will slowly grow outwards from there.
If you set your location to "Brighton, United Kingdom" you can see some of this seed data that I'm working on.
Over the weekend I developed a little webapp (http://www.splashactive.com) that allows you to search for and add activities in a given area. The idea being that you could find new things to do in your area, plan a weekend away (Stag/Hen kind of thing) and companies the organise these activities could add them to the site for free.I'm aiming for sporty kind of activities rather than night...
