HN AI Podcasts автор HN AI Podcasts

Listen on Hacker News, or create new episodes collaboratively in your language (English and French for now). See what's ready (or in progress), then subscribe to the shared RSS feed to keep up with the community.

Overview

HN AI Podcasts adds podcasts directly inside Hacker News
(news.ycombinator.com). For each story, you can play an existing
AI-generated podcast or trigger creation when it becomes available.

Features

• In-page "Podcast" playback link for ready episodes, with a
  simple play/pause toggle
• "Create podcast" action when a story meets the current creation
  criteria (score, comment count, and age thresholds)
• Language selector to generate and listen in your preferred
  podcast language if available
• Community-driven quota: shared daily limit display plus
  estimated "next slot" time when the quota is exhausted
• Optional highlighting of podcast-enabled stories on the page
• Popup mini-player ("Now Playing") with play/pause/stop controls
• RSS subscription link for your selected language's podcast feed

How It Works

When you browse Hacker News, the extension scans story rows and
injects links into the story metadata area. It fetches podcast status
and settings from a companion service, then updates the UI as podcasts
become ready or progress in the queue.

Privacy & Permissions

The extension runs exclusively on Hacker News pages
(news.ycombinator.com) and uses the Storage permission only to save
your preferences (language and highlight mode).

Please note that this is an experimental project built for the community. The service is provided "as is", relies on shared quotas, and might be unstable, limited, or shut down at any time without prior notice.
