Today’s project: a PWA for AI-generated audio summaries of podcasts and articles.

Paste an RSS feed or an article URL. The pipeline transcribes, summarises to 5-10 minutes, and renders the output as an MP3 served in a private RSS feed I can subscribe to from any podcast app.
New episodes from my subscribed shows auto-flow as they publish.

The PWA replaces my podcast app entirely. Library, lock-screen controls, AirPods skip, scrub, bookmarks with notes, an Up Next queue that auto-plays, and a chat window that answers questions about whatever I’m listening to using only the source transcript.

Stack runs entirely on my Mac.
Whisper local for transcription. Kokoro local for TTS. Claude Sonnet 4.6 for summaries via the Claude Code CLI so it bills against my flat Max plan rather than per-token.

Everything served behind Tailscale, just for me.

No SaaS, no per-episode cost, no third party holding the data.

Oh, and I built the whole thing from my phone. 😂
