Great work. It’s a pleasure to use. A few questions:

1. Have you heard of Narro (narro.co)? It does the same thing, but it’s been around longer and has many integrations.

2. Can you share the tech stack currently powering your voice synthesis? Since it’s called PollyPodcast, are you currently using AWS Polly for TTS?

3. Is this something you intend to monetize?

4. It seems like you offer unlimited readings for free. Do you have an abuse prevention strategy? This could become a hole in your wallet if you’re paying for a charged-per-character TTS service.

5. Creating custom voices is a great differentiator. What are some problems you have to solve to create them and how is this effort progressing? Do you have quality and performance goals?
