That end-to-end path—Next.js list/detail UI, typed Apollo client,

GraphQL server, Prisma, and PlanetScale—makes the repo behave like a self-contained content hub with selective integrations (HN, email, RSS) layered on top. Natural next steps are running bunx --bun next dev to explore the UI live or bunx --bun graphql-codegen after schema tweaks to refresh typed hooks.

How it works

ReadAloud lives in your dock. Set one shortcut, and from then on, any text you highlight becomes audio when you press it.

Tested it inside a ChatGPT window while coding. Needed to go through a very long response... it just clicked. That use case saved me enough time and attention that I'm willing to pay for it."
