Show HN: Sornic – Turn any article into a podcast in 10 seconds
Hello HN folks- maker here,
I built Sornic because I have 100+ saved articles I never read. Now I listen to them while commuting.
How it works:
- Paste any article URL
- Mozilla Readability extracts content
- Claude Haiku cleans it up (removes "subscribe", ads, etc.)
- OpenAI TTS generates natural audio
Free to use, 5 articles/day, no signup.
Stack: Next.js, Upstash Redis, Vercel
What I'd love feedback on:
- Which sites don't work (so I can improve extraction)
- Voice quality preferences
- Would you pay for unlimited?
Thanks for trying it!
- chux52 9mo agoThis looks useful. When I click the voices, am I supposed to hear samples of the voice? I got an error trying one of the article on the main page: https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-new-constitution https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-new-constitution
