video alt: an article on the Manchester Evening News about simulating the Manchester Utd vs Nottingham Forest game. It’s impossible to read the content because between each paragraph is ad ad and there’s auto playing video everywhere.
It‘s incredible how good of a show Foundation is. The book is one of the most boring pieces of sci-fi ever. It had a few good ideas and the show ran with them and made them into something great.
In a departure from my usual tech content, I wrote a blog post about my own journey in life and the progress I've made over the last two years since I felt like my life fell apart. Call it... character development.
I'm fed up with all read-it-later services out there, so I've started working on my own but with blackjack Podcast- and Kindle integrations. I've named it "Untitled Read It Later App" … for now.
Currently there's not much of a UI; but the core of extracting content from websites, synthesising the written text to audio and turning your queue to a podcast is already there.
@cliophate I like Matter, as it has a Kindle integration that works and has the option to play/speak saved articles for you.
The Obsidian integration is a nice bonus.
Bought the Patreon membership when they announced it earlier this year, but will cancel that once that runs out. I think the yearly subscription will be something like 70-80$ per year which is a tad expensive for me for how often I'm using it.
(Currently building my own little read-it-later app that satisfies all me needs)
@cliophate A read-it-later app like Matter/Readwise/Instapaper/Pocket, but that can be self-hosted on my server.
In addition, all saved entries can be converted to audio files and can be published to a private podcast feed. (Have so many entries that I like to listen to while cooking/commuting)
Next up I also would like to build a Kindle integration, so I could read stuff offline.
@cliophate The goal is to one day open source it and make it available for others. For now, it‘s just for my eyes only.
(UI is also in a very early alpha phase and probably too confusing for others)
