Wow... Really great. Can you add some historical archive to listen n hours ago (or morning briefing like) summary as a feature?

Thanks! An archive shouldn't be too hard to implement.

Would a morning briefing include more of a curated selection of news, like the most interesting/most discussed news of the day? Currently I just take the top 5 posts from the main page.

Yeah. You're right.

My morning routine is Checking HN with Coffee. So with your service I can minimize some time to click around and figure out what the root cause is.

I was actually listening to it while making breakfast as well, so the idea of an extended morning briefing resonates with me. I'll look into it, thanks for the follow-up!

I could easily see listening to such a summary once or twice a day. Considering the pace at which HN is updated, how about two to four somewhat longer episodes per day, with an archive of the past week so that people can catch up? You might also want to focus on certain types of stories, such as those with more upvotes or comments.

In any case, it's a great idea, and I enjoyed listening to the current episode.
