I've been iterating on an app idea for about 6 months now. I kept emailing articles to my Kindle as messy PDFs, so I built a tool to batch them into clean EPUBs and deliver them on a schedule. Six months later, it's grown into a "consume it later" app for articles, podcasts, notes, and RSS feeds.

Some of its key features...

  - AI narration, listen to any article
  - Speed reading mode
  - Scheduled Kindle/e-reader delivery (PDF & EPUB)
  - Cross-device position sync for articles, podcasts, and narrations
  - RSS feed & podcast subscriptions
  - Full-text search and tagging

It's at a point where I'm using it daily and getting a lot of value from it, I'd now love to get some feedback from a wider audience.

Can't view the pricing page without logging in (/app/pricing immediately redirects to a login box). Not going to get invested in a product until I know how much it'll cost in the long term.

Is there an easier way, like sending lika to a page via my whatsapp?

and it gets converted into an audio book I can listen to?

I've gated narrations at the minute outside of trials as each narration costs me money to create, but currently I have the functionality to use the mobile devices sharing feature to bring sites into the app, from there you can request narrations on individual articles.

Interesting point on audio books though, I might look into creating a single narration for batches of articles in the same way I currently do for PDF/EPUB.
