Awesome to see this make it to public release! I've been using it for a few days now and it's the best agentic experience I've seen so far so congrats to the entire team!

Glad to see this on HN!

We've all been on both sides of this article. Sometimes (especially in startups) we overcommit and fail to hit our deadlines. This can burn relationships and do such harm that I think it's an incredibly important skill to develop, particularly for entrepreneurs.

This skill seems to go hand in hand with the ability to say "no" when you have too much on your plate.

As a side note... the Edittress platform is pretty cool! It looks like a much needed mentorship platform that I think will receive a warm welcome into the tech community particularly now that we are having more open discussions about mental health, inclusion, and diversity.

I hope we can expect a ShowHN soon! I just signed up.

Congratulations on launching!

Looks really cool! Congratulations on shipping. Looking forward to reading some of the NYC books =)

Thanks for the feedback. Great questions!

1. Narro is really, really, great.

2. The app itself is on Rails with AWS Polly transcribing most of the requests. x% of the transcriptions are routed to a Flask API that runs a neural TTS engine + with token-based SSML rolling out slowly for some heavy-users.

3. I have no plans to monetize Polly Podcast.

4. Unlimited readings.

5. I'm working now with large publishers to figure out what the costs look like to generate new synthetic voices at scale. Hope to release this publicly as soon as I get the go-ahead.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out in email =]

Pretty cool! Thanks for sharing.

Might be cool if you could summarize trending articles automatically and then let the community edit them for details, fact-checking, brevity, etc...

Congratulations on launching!

I've never needed to subtitle a video so I don't really know who your competitors might be but none of the links posted so far in this thread (except for yours) seem to be very easy or intuitive to use.

I love your logo character too!

Working on it. Send me an email if you want to try an early version.

I've had an absolute blast working on bots this year thanks to all of you on the Dialogflow(API.AI) team. Thank you for all the hard work and building such an easy to use product.

The caption on the first image

"Instagram, a pun-friendly company, called its first design system “Beetstrap.”

I think it's supposed to say "Instacart" instead.

Enjoyed the article. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, this is true but it depends how you approach the problem.

There are a lot of medium to large retail companies looking to front the cash for startups willing to "move fast and break things". The catch is that they will disown you when you break something.
