Welcome to Hackercast!

Are you a tech enthusiast who wants to stay up to date with the latest news from Hacker News, but you don't have the time to read their newsletter? Look no further! Hackercast is here to help by providing AI-generated podcast summaries of Hacker News articles.

Our powerful tool scrapes the Hacker Newsletter for articles and utilizes cutting-edge technologies such as Langchain and GPT-4 to generate accurate and concise summaries. These summaries are then converted into speech using AWS Polly, resulting in engaging and informative podcast episodes.

At Hackercast, we understand that not everyone has the luxury of dedicating time to read the entire Hacker News website. That's why our tool aims to provide an easy-to-digest summary of Hacker News content, catering specifically to users who are short on time.

While our tool delivers high-quality summaries, it's important to note that we are still fine-tuning its functionalities. Some users have reported minor issues with summaries of Github pages, which can occasionally be strange or repetitive. Additionally, at this time, forum posts, comments, and video links are not included in the summaries. However, we are continuously working to enhance our tool and plan to incorporate these features in the future.

In summary, Hackercast is the perfect companion for individuals interested in Hacker News but who may not have the time to keep up with its content. With our tool, you can quickly catch up on articles in audio format, making it accessible for users on-the-go. Please note that Hackercast is an independent project and is not affiliated with Hacker News, Y Combinator, or the Hacker Newsletter. We value your feedback and suggestions to further improve the functionality of our tool, so please don't hesitate to reach out!
