This is my project. If you have many articles to read and you prefer listening, I&#x27;ll convert an article into podcasts and make your own podcasts that contains your &quot;listen later&quot; list. I made this because I want to consume some materials to read while jogging.<p>As this is my first post on Hacker News, please tell me if I&#x27;m doing wrong.

5 USD for one month <i>or</i> 20 articles isn’t attractive. That’s fewer than one a day. Heck, it’s fewer than one per working day. It means if you add a dud (an article you realise you weren’t interested in after all) you’ll feel the loss. A subscription whose limit you worry about hitting is doubly bad for a customer, it only benefits you. The idea isn’t novel or rare (I’ve seen several Show HN which do the same), meaning differentiation could be important.<p>On the plus side, the landing page is clean and clear. It has close to no information but no fluff, except for the hero image which takes up a lot of space for nothing.

Hi! Great idea. I din&#x27;t quite understand where I put a link to the article. When I press &quot;Get started&quot; a google form opens where I can put my email. And there is only one more field: &#x27;if any message or question&#x27;. Looks a bit strange)

I&#x27;d be curious to see what your take rate is. I imagine 99.99% of casuals are just going to close the window and leave when they discover this is a paid service, which you hide up until they need to enter a payment method.
