I originally built this site as a content aggregator that would pull in blogs and podcasts and YouTube videos that I was interested in. I found I wasn't really reading very many of them, and I tried generating summaries for each item, but also found that I wasn't reading the summaries very often. And so taking inspiration from Twitter, I decided to try and convert the text/audio/video into a Twitter style thread, which I tend to read. I find I read most threads now and have a higher rate of clicking through to actually read articles, etc.
The overall sort of architecture and way that this works is documented here.

I'm running Parakeet on my Mac Mini to transcribe the audio from videos and podcasts.
