HN Listen
The Hacker News comment section, as a daily podcast
HN Listen turns the top Hacker News stories into short audio. Two AI voices talk through the best of the comments — the corrections, the expert takes, the arguments. Catch up hands-free on your commute.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I read Hacker News every day, but mostly for the comments — the correction three replies deep, the person who actually built the thing, the argument that reframes the whole story. Problem is, I never have my eyes free to read it all: driving, doing dishes, walking somewhere.
So I built HN Listen. It turns the day's top HN stories into short audio, but the focus isn't the article — it's the comments. Two AI voices talk through the thread, and because one only "read" the article and the other only "read" the comments, they actually disagree instead of politely nodding along. You come away knowing what HN really made of a story.
The hardest part by far was getting it to not sound like an essay read aloud. I wrote about that here: https://hnlisten.app/blog/i-told...
iOS is live, Android's in open beta. I'd genuinely love your honest feedback — especially whether the audio sounds listenable or robotic. Thanks for checking it out 🙏
