I just launched WhatHappen, an audio RSS reader that supports voice control... then this thread popped up while I was testing the new version 1.7.7.

I think it would be really cool if anyone other than myself could like it

I've written a podcast ad blocker. I'm not based in the US but listen to a few podcasts from large US-based networks. They don't have any ad inventory to sell so instead they fill the slots with ads for other shows on their network and I end up hearing 7 copies of the same ad for the same true crime sludge in each podcast episode. It works by fetching the XML feed, downloading the file and applying an open-source aud…

Is the "same-segment-repeat" check across multiple episodes? Or just a single episode has the same segment repeated a few twice, so it works for this specific network?

The current implementation searches only within a single episode. Searching across multiple episodes could be done but would introduce false positives if a show re-uses intro music or other assets, and personally I’d prefer to keep that stuff, so I’d need to figure out heuristics to differentiate it from ads.

A lot of them:

- wisecash - a cash-flow forecast SaaS app (which I used for my own financial piloting)

- Kiba ETL - not an app but a framework to build data processing pipelines with Ruby (using it for a lot of automated tasks, including VAT management, at the moment)

- a tool to automate the selling of books on Amazon via barcode scanning (I sold hundreds of old books like this at some point)

- a CLI tool to help my sons learn multiplication tables and also languages (vocabulary) in Spanish and English

- hackerbooks.com (retired) - a book aggregator based on what is shared on HN

- learnivore (retired) - a developer screencast aggregator

I really should finish my work instead of playing lalo.li/lsd
