I built Linkcast to solve a personal pain: I was drowning in articles each week and struggling to figure out which ones were worth my time. I wanted a fast way to get the gist of each article, without spending hours reading.<p>Linkcast turns any article into a 1-minute audio summary, so you can listen while commuting, working out, or doing chores.<p>Features:<p>- Converts any article into a short, spoken summary (~1 minute)<p>- No sign-up or credit card needed to get started<p>- Costs ~1¢ per article (you get $1 in free credits to try it out)<p>Tech stack:<p>- Python + Django + HTMX<p>- Groq's Llama3 for summarization<p>- Google TTS for audio<p>- UI help via Claude 3.7 Sonnet :)<p>Would love your feedback, bug reports, and ideas for improvement!
