Toot

With so many news sites adding audio versions of their stories I'd really like a "send to my podcast app" workflow.

There's probably a weekend project in rolling my own:

• Grab bookmarked URLs from wherever I put them

• Extract text with readability.js

• (Clean up image captions and such slightly with a small LLM?)

• Feed the text to local TTS (https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M seems pretty good) to generate audio files

• Generate an RSS feed of the audio

• Serve the feed from my homelab via tailscale

@noamross That would be dead simple if they took the minimal effort to put those audio links into an RSS feed. Or something that can be added to Hufferduffer.

@noamross This is interesting. I know the app I use "Player.FM" allows you to add individual episodes to your playlist, so I assume a link to an mp3 would work somehow.
