🤔 John Listening on artificialfeed.com has me thinking about the use case that I want. I often use ios text-to-speech to listen to articles while I work with my hands, but only when they are sufficiently long. Otherwise it's too much hassle to find another article to read. Think I need an easy way to compile articles together for tts. Maybe even a custom podcast feed...

🦿 Lucian Marin That was the initial idea to built a podcast. It can be done using source, title and description of each article.

🦿 Lucian Marin Words are now highlighted while listening to an article on artificialfeed.com but it took me a while to figure out how to do it properly.

🦿 Lucian Marin Sijmen Mulder added Radio Fidelity and Subreply to his list of text-only websites: sjmulder.nl/en/tex... - check it out!
🤔 John Hey I know that guy!

🤔 John Hmm lower character limit makes the stuff migrated from sublevel a bit awkward.

🦿 Lucian Marin I'm designing with Figma lately. It's crazy how a simple idea executed well can change how people think about design.
🤔 John Any good tutorials?

🦿 Lucian Marin I found a way to use Django only for its ORM and migrations, everything else can be handled with much better tools like Falcon and Jinja2. You can test the result at dubfi.com (needs more work).
🤔 John I repeatedly failed to register with the error "Username present from this IP address"

🦿 Lucian Marin By popular request, I set up news.dubfi.com.
🤔 John Wow, thanks! It's just enough for when I unconsciously ctrl-new tab in search of something interesting without getting too distracted.

🦿 Lucian Marin Are you planning on getting one? What for?
🤔 John Not for me, my dad was checking them out for his small farm. He's on the left of the uncropped photo.
