Hey Product Hunt community! ๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm thrilled to introduce Readsss to you today. As a solo founder and long-time content consumer, I've always struggled with staying up-to-date while on the go. That's why I created Readsss - to transform how busy professionals consume content from their favorite thought leaders on X (formerly Twitter). ๐ŸŽง Why Readsss? 1) Time-Saving: Convert scrolling time into productive listening time. 2) Stay Informed: Never miss important updates from your curated list of influencers. 3) Multitasking Friendly: Perfect for commutes, workouts, or any hands-free moment. 4) Personalized: Your favorite X accounts, your personalized audio digest. 5) Safe & Legal: No more dangerous scrolling while driving! ๐Ÿš€ The Journey: Building Readsss has been an exciting ride. From idea to launch, it's been a process of learning, iterating, and pushing boundaries. I've leveraged cutting-edge AI tech (GPT-4, audio translation models) to create a seamless experience. ๐Ÿ’ก Fun Fact: The idea for Readsss came to me during a long drive when I realized how much valuable content I was missing from my favorite X accounts! ๐Ÿ”ฎ What's Next: This is just the beginning! I'm excited to keep improving Readsss based on your feedback. Some ideas on the horizon: - Expanded content sources - Enhanced audio quality - More personalization options I'd love to hear your thoughts! What features would make Readsss indispensable for you? Try Readsss today and transform your content consumption. Let's redefine staying informed in our fast-paced world! ๐ŸŒŸ
@greg_smith15 Huge congratulations on the launch! Wishing you all the success in the world. What feedback have you received so far?
Kostya Bolshukhin
@greg_smith15 I like the idea Do you turn to audio posts with or without comments? Feels like some "threads" if you get only post don't make much sense, while posts with announcements got many comments without value for listeners.

@greg_smith15 Hi Greg, I came across Readsss on Product Hunt and the concept instantly resonated with me! As a busy professional who relies on staying informed, the idea of converting reading time into listening time is fantastic. The ability to consume content on the go through audio summaries is a major advantage for busy schedules. The focus on safe content consumption and personalization through curated lists is commendable. I'm eager to become a power user of Readsss and provide feedback on: - How well does Readsss translate text to natural-sounding audio while maintaining information accuracy? - Does the length and comprehensiveness of the audio summaries cater to different needs (quick updates vs. in-depth insights)? As a full-stack developer who heavily relies on content consumption, here are some additional feature ideas: - The ability to integrate Readsss summaries with project management tools for easy reference. - Utilizing AI to recommend content from new sources based on user preferences and existing content consumption habits. Overall, Readsss has the potential to revolutionize how busy professionals stay informed. I'd be happy to contribute as a power user and brainstorm further feature ideas. I'm signing up for Readsss today and look forward to experiencing it firsthand. Keep up the fantastic work! Best regards, Max

@max_savonin1 Hey Max! Really appreciate it. Thanks for the feedback! Hoping to incorporate some of these in the future.
Greg Smith
@kostyabolsh 100% agree. MVP needed to be posts only, but we would like to incorporate that ability to listen to Threads as well. If we can get a little proof of concept that will be the next step.

Congrats on the launch of Readsss! Very interesting idea and definitely will save my eyes when I want to look at content on X easily while commuting. However, I sometimes find listening takes longer to digest the same amount of content than skimming/browsing. Is there a way to change the speed and voice?
Greg Smith
@kehui_guo Hey Kehui! Yep we offer that standard 1x 1.25x 1.5x speeds just like a podcast and right now we only offer a few voices, but we also offer language translation too! Thanks for the comment!

Since my feed is all web3 related, guess I'll be listening to a lot of 'GM's, congrats!
Kyrylo Silin
Readsss sounds perfect for staying updated on the go. Questions: - How well does it handle tweets with multimedia content like images or videos? - Are there plans to expand beyond X (formerly Twitter) to other social media platforms? Congrats on the launch, Greg!
Greg Smith
@kyrylosilin Hey Kyrylo! It does a pretty good job analyzing images, but for now it only tells you if it was referenced to a video or not. I would love to be able to expand to Reddit and Threads, but I scratched my own itch and pain point of X first. Really appreciate it!
Anastasiia Stepko
Interesting concept, but not sure whether I would be able to listen to such a thing. This way, I find podcasts to be a better option. Just in case Readsss will be able to analyze posts in future, gather them as per topics and maybe remove noise words/sentences, it could be a good value to me.
Greg Smith
@anastasiia_stepko Hey Anastasiia, appreciate the feedback! Making curated playlists based on topic would be a great feature. Thanks!
Bon
Congrats on your launch, Greg! Readsss is a very interesting product! Is there a story behind the name "Readsss"? Why are there so many S's?๐Ÿคฃ Plus, the pricing seems a bit unreasonable at $100 for a lifetime subscription. Doesn't it need to cover the high API fees charged by X?
Kyle Cords
@bonvisions Wondering the same.
Greg Smith
@bonvisions Hey Bon! We are definitely examining pricing. We have been asked to add a monthly plan as well so I think we will be having a much more reasonable ~$15/month plan soon for people to try it out for a month or so. The name stemmed from the fact that the app Reads to you. Readsss was available and stood out. Thanks!
Greg Smith
@bonvisions Just dropped it down $30 today for a one time lifetime subscription in celebration for the launch!
