Play (for Medium) - Listen to Medium Stories with a Chrome Extension

@dredurr yes speed and accents is something we thought about too! We shall definitely add them! Thanks for the feedback!

@dredurr honestly I can't believe this doesn't exist already, I was brainstorming on this about 2 weeks ago. @ma7moudfelfel .... random idea: is it possible to have it shown on the main screen (homepage) with Play Next option?

@charlesmudy Even us didn't believe that no one has made it before :) And regarding your homepage idea, yes it is possible, we've been thinking of a feature like this actually, that will turn your homepage into a playlist.

@ma7moudfelfel @charlesmudy well, to be fair, there are already some "read it aloud" extensions in the Chrome Extensions store, but they're all terrible, esp. in comparison to this. :)

@dredurr This exists already (exactly!) in @NarroApp https://narro.co

@andrewwarner https://www.producthunt.com/tech... could be your answer.

@andrewwarner Yup, we are working on it! Listening to articles on the go and creating your own playlists is something we really want!

@andrewwarner There is already a mobile app for iOS for turning news sites (including Medium) into podcasts. It's called NewsBot. http://newsbot.mobi/ https://www.producthunt.com/tech... Disclaimer: I am the author of this app.

@andrewwarner @NarroApp offers both Android and iOS mobile apps with even greater flexibility! https://narro.co

@andrewwarner Came here to say this. The use case for desktop listening is pretty thin compared to mobile.

@amckinnis thanks for sharing PLAY! We couldn't have done it with you!!

@hammadh4 ... More than welcome! It's a great Plug-in - and you guys did all the hard work ;)

@hammadh4 I also see you finally got the credit for being the MAKER!! Time get update your description, answer questions and keep the ball rolling!

@anthony_stylianou Yes! We have a couple of websites in mind. Which one are you thinking?

@hammadh4 Hmm good question. From the sites I read, I would say Mashable, Inc, Entrepreneur etc

@anthony_stylianou If you're looking beyond Medium right now, check out @NarroApp https://narro.co and https://narro.co/apps

@hammadh4 @ma7moudfelfel ... trying to get them approved as the "makers" ... until then, message for questions.

@otymartin And you shall have it! ;) We are working on it.. We'll share the next version as soon as it's ready.

@otymartin This is available already with @NarroApp https://narro.co

@hammadh4 Dope!

@marktmcewan Wouldn't that be great?! Being able to create playlists and listen to articles on the go is what we are working on now :)
