There's a browser extension that reads the content of the article on the page (only when you activate it, using least privilege browser APIs for content scripts) and then narrates the article for you. You get a custom podcast RSS URL that works in (almost) any podcast player, and then you can take articles with you to catch up while driving, walking the dog, etc. All the typical podcast audio controls you're used to like speed settings, skipping, and no new apps to download or learn.
It has genuinely been a big benefit and allowed me to keep up with articles I'd never normally have time to read, plus it allows me to reduce my screen time. My wife also uses and loves it. There have been some interesting bugs in the narration like originally pronouncing "24/7" as "twenty-four sevenths" but I am working through different strategies to get more accurate narration from arbitrary long-form text.
With apologies for the ".AI" domain, it was a bit of an impulse buy: https://earcast.ai/
https://quxnet.net/about I made it specifically to bring back what was amazing about the old internet, and do it as authentically as possible. takes inspiration from old internet messageboards, usenet, bbs, and pubnix hosts. it has sealed mail, boards, an rss reader, built-in media player, custom profiles, a links directory, and quite a bit more. it's just a little hobby art project for me but i've really appreciated…
Now I write to learn new things myself and my mode of operation has changed radically: I still manually research and write code but I also ‘flesh out’ my writing and coding experiments using agentic tools. My approach is different because I don’t care at all about work efficiency so I spend a lot of time reading and studying material I generate with AI, and iterating in ways that wouldn’t make sense in a business environment. I still write open content books on whatever currently interests me but I am thinking, after 35 years of being an author, of winding down this activity because I think my readers might be better off doing their own research and coding, and with agentic design, research, and coding tools this gets easier.
BTW, I miss the old way of doing things, and some of what I do now is attempting to make AI less noticeable to me as I work, and using AI to work on my own work environment.
Everyone has different interests and abilities, and if what we might call the current AI hype cycle has any lasting value (open question) it is in letting us as humans ‘go our own way’ and customize tech and our life style to match what we want.
