Hi everyone 👋! Makers Kyle & Eric here. Kyle is a former engineer at Cruise and is currently in Harvard Business School. Eric built a profitable, NLP-based SaaS company called Y Translator. We recently relocated from San Francisco to Mexico City! (Anyone in the area? Let’s connect!) We love reading online since it’s one of the most effective ways to discover new perspectives. However, reading is kinda hard and time-consuming 🤷‍♂️ which lead us to constantly having a huge backlog of things to read. At some point, we turned Paul Graham’s essays into audio podcasts for fun. We loved listening to them, as did our friends. So we decided to create a tool that allows you to do just that -- listen to any web article. We use Audiblogs to “read” while we exercise, cook, run errands, etc. We now have 1-2 hours of extra time per day that we can use to read other things! If you love to read but don’t have enough time, you’ll love Audiblogs! Try it and let us know what you think!

@eric_j1 Congratulations on the launch! If Audioblogs could also extract audio from YouTube videos and send it to the podcast player then it could solve this need gap - 'Automatic video to podcast conversion' posted on my problem validation platform - https://needgap.com/problems/66-... .

@heavyinfo hey, it actually works with YouTube videos already! Please give it a go.
Abishek Muthian
@eric_j1 Super! I will. You can mention your product and how it solves their problem in that thread so those who need Audiblogs can find it easily.
Eric Jung
@heavyinfo we'll be 100% sure to add this to our pitch. thanks for pointing this out!

This product is absolutely amazing! If you're anything like me and have a chrome window with a thousand tabs of articles that you'll definitely, absolutely, 100% find the time to read (lol), you need this. Btw, I'm not sure if there was a new update or what, but sending the article to my phone is literally faster than bookmarking the damn tab. I've been reckless with it!!! I would genuinely be so sad if I could no longer use this. It'd mean going back to a backlog of tabs that I'll never read.

@naderlikeladder hey, we've been working super hard to make clipping faster & more reliable. Glad you notice the difference.

A great way to read any content away from screens, hope to see this grow across different devices 😃
Eric Jung
@piers_batchelor2 100%! We should soon be able to support clipping articles from mobile devices.

@piers_batchelor2 Love the simplicity of the connection with podcast on mobile

@piers_batchelor2 @martin_carrica1 just for clarification, we have an iOS app in beta: https://testflight.apple.com/joi... you can use it after setting up the chrome extension!
