💡 What should an experienced software engineer do after failing a LeetCode job interview..
What should an experienced software engineer do after failing a LeetCode job interview for a large company where he could have worked on an audiobook app if accepted?
Well, should probably go "back to school , and, re-learn Depth First Search, revisit tree traversal algorithms, and solve every problem on LeetCode and HackerRank - so that next time, you can recognize the pattern and solve a similar problem in 20 minutes!
Or you could build and publish your own audiobook app!
Meet Run & Read your ultimate text-to-speech player that transforms EPUB, PDF books, or any plain text into an audiobook using built-in Apple and Google TTS engines, as well as high-quality open-source TTS models from Hugging Face or online services like Deepgram.
It s free to download and use - give it a try!
For a long time, I had the idea of a simple reading app - basically, a useful interface for the built-in Android and iOS TTS engines, that would give users full and easy control over their listening experience. I knew there were plenty of similar apps, but most were either too complex or too expensive. The sheer amount of competition held me back for a long time. But, ironically, failing a job interview gave me the push I needed. Now, Run & Read is available to users, and it works exactly as I imagined - except it could benefit from better voices.
It began as a pure text-to-speech on-device player, but I have also been working on adding more natural open-source voices and integrating a tool that converts text into audio (MP3) using online TTS SDKs like Zyphra, Deepgram, and ElevenLabs. Additionally, I am incorporating local open-source tools running on a personal computer or in the cloud, such as Zonos and Kokoro-TTS with Audio-MLX. The audio is played in the app just like text-to-speech, with the same playback controls, bookmarking, and other features.
I personally use it every time I run on a treadmill or a trail, and even when I cook or drive. I ve bought too many paper and electronic books that I wanted to read but never had time to sit down with - now, finally, I can read while literally running or running chores!

Turn your Shopify data into insights—without coding or hiring a data engineer!
Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Guilherme, a Data passionate human being with a particular focus in developing products and solving engineering challenges and I'm here to share my new project with you and hopefully, finding some nice partnerships!
I m excited to introduce Baitsu, a fully automated data platform designed to give e-commerce businesses a 360 view of their data starting with Shopify.
Over the years, I ve seen countless businesses struggle to centralize and analyze their data. Most either:
Have data analysts but no dedicated data engineering resources
Or are just starting to consolidate data from Shopify, Google Ads, Meta
Ads, and other sources

So I m building CoLaunchly a tool that gives devs a simple, personalized launch plan without all the marketing fluff.

Do you follow a launch plan or just improvise?
