Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm İsmail, a DevOps engineer. Built this because nobody reads our incident post-mortems. **Why Open Source?** Trust is everything in DevOps tools. MIT license means you can audit, modify, and self-host without restrictions. **Self-Hosted TTS:** We use Piper-GPL (free, CPU-only, 19 voices). No API costs, no cloud dependencies for voice generation. **AI (Cloud for Now):** Currently using OpenAI/Claude for script generation. **We're adding local LLM support** (Ollama/LM Studio) in the next release for 100% on-premise deployment. **The Cool Part:** Live transcript sync (launched yesterday). As audio plays, text highlights in real-time. Click any paragraph to jump to that timestamp. **What's Next:** - Local LLM integration (Ollama, LlamaCpp) - Analytics dashboard - More TTS providers Try it: Self-host with Docker or explore the code on GitHub. Questions about the sync algorithm, why Piper over cloud TTS, or anything else?
