Regards.
Thanks for the interest! Why are you saying it's not working? Just checked it right now...

Updates! New female voice (way more understandable than the previous one). I've also implemented a sitemap with all the latest articles. In the next step I will build a way to let people share single articles Thanks for all the suggestions, really appreciate them!

Ho rilasciato, qualche giorno fa, una nuova voce per gli articoli. Ho fatto vari esperimenti e questa nuova voce, femminile, è molto più comprensibile dell'altra, a volte più "pastosa"
Enjoy!

Hey there,
a few days ago I made Awesome-Stellar (https://github.com/francescomalatesta/awesome-stellar), a curated, free list of resources about Stellar and its coin, Lumen. The list is mainly dedicated to developers but there are also some articles for non tech people.
I really like the project, I didn't find an awesome list, so I decided to make one!
Feel free to add stuff with a PR if you can't find it!
Thanks

Re: CryptoAudio - listen to cryptocurrency related news!
Nice site! overall I'm pleased to listen to cryptocurrency articles. I've been a fan of audiobooks and I've added cryptoaudio to my bookmarks. I've had a couple of UI / UX suggestions pertaining to the player:
1) Would it be possible to display a timeline on mouse hover over the seeker to seek between different time's within a particular track / audio article playback? This would make it easier for users to seek between times.
2) Would it be possible to be able to generate a unique URL for each of the articles being played back and to be able to share the same on social networks?
3) A sort by "source" and "Date" option would also be useful to see articles pertaining to a particular media and from and thru a particular date.
Really interesting, thank you! Actually I am working to find a better voice but another filter (by source and date) could be the next ones in the list. I will also think about the number 1 About the 2, it could be useful for the sitemap also. Thank you for your suggestions! Will let you know as I implement them

CryptoAudio - listen to cryptocurrency related news!
A month ago I published an project I am working on. It's called CryptoAudio (https://cryptoaud.io) and it's a news aggregator that automatically creates news summaries from many different sources (Cointelegraph, Coindesk, TheMerkle right now). It then converts these summaries into audio files using a cool text-to-speech technology, so you can listen to them.
I use it every morning to listen to the latest news when going to work In its first month, CryptoAudio already counts more than 4000 plays. You can use it also on mobile and you can filter news by specific cryptocurrency. Right now only BTC, ETH, LTC and XRP are supported. More to add soon
I wanted to share it here to let you know about it and to understand what I can improve to make it better. Right now I am working to find a better voice in terms of comprehensibility.
Thanks!

Grazie per l'interesse!
Al momento sto usando un servizio di terze parti che fa uso di machine learning, più alcuni tweak personali. Il risultato per ora è abbastanza buono (raramente capita di non capire un articolo, finora soltanto una volta) ma sto comunque lavorando per migliorarlo.

CryptoAudio - ascolta riassunti delle ultime news!

Ciao a tutti
Volevo presentare un sideproject che ho pubblicato esattamente un mesetto fa. Si chiama CryptoAudio (https://cryptoaud.io) ed è un aggregatore di news relative al mondo crypto.
La sua peculiarità è che non si limita ad aggregare le notizie ma crea dei riassunti significativi e usa un servizio di text-to-speech per sintetizzare un file audio da poter ascoltare, come in una playlist Spotify.
Si può anche filtrare in base ad una crypto (al momento ne ho aggiunte poche: BTC, ETH, LTC ed XRP).
Me lo sono creato per ascoltare le notizie in metro, la mattina, andando a lavoro. Piano piano sto aggiungendo nuove feature per migliorare il prodotto di continuo. Lo sto creando anche per studiarmi meglio il lancio di un prodotto e mi sta dando non poche soddisfazioni: nel giro di un mese ho ricevuto tre proposte di partnership e ben 4000 ascolti (4009, stanotte).
Se volete dedicarci un po' di tempo siete i benvenuti. Se avete qualsiasi proposta di feedback è assolutamente ben accetta! Sono a disposizione per qualsiasi curiosità.
Grazie mille!

Honestly I don't know how much it will affect Bitcoin and "good" cryptocurrencies.
I work with Facebook Ads and I saw a lot of scam in recent crypto-related FB ads. Maybe it's just a temporary situation.
