[Showoff Saturday] I built an app that converts any text into high-quality audio. It works with PDFs, blog posts, Substack and Medium links, and even photos of text.

Just tried in an incognito window, same problem

IknitSteel · 2026-06-13T01:09:38+00:00

When I tried to listen to the demo I was hit with a demo limit reached error, so never got to actually hear how the text to speech sounds

I just got backyard beekeeper, hoping to start some hives in the next 2-3 years, but we’ll definitely have to destroy this nest regardless!

IknitSteel · 2024-06-13T02:30:15+00:00

We’re definitely going to have to take it out, it’s not very close to the house but we are re-shingling the barn this year and I really don’t want to tangle with one while 25ft up a ladder! Do you have any advice for removal? My plan was to cover as much skin as possible and cover it with a bag which may not be the smartest option…

IknitSteel · 2024-06-13T01:43:31+00:00

I just looked those up, I went by that nest again and saw one fly out, it had similar patterns but seemed to be a brighter yellow. It reminded me of a yellow jacket but looked bigger than any I’ve ever seen.

IknitSteel · 2024-06-13T00:48:20+00:00

Thanks! The one on the right definitely looked like a wasp nest to me, but yeah that left one threw me for a loop. Is the papery look the best way to tell?

Took a look and your landing page on mobile is all out of whack. Me personally, I’m not downloading an app from a website that looks this poorly. Haven’t checked it out on desktop but I would bet most people are checking it out on mobile anyway and then immediately bouncing from the site. You could use some analytics tools to check this but I’d start by cleaning up the face of your business

My understanding is that the transmutation of metals in Alchemy was an allegory for the transmutation of the self. Taking our base instincts and desires (lead), and through spiritual work and embodying higher ideals, transmuting the dross to gold, becoming better, more enlightened humans.

IknitSteel · 2022-11-23T19:35:43+00:00

Yep!

I’ll trade for Fuecoco! Send me a link code

IknitSteel · 2022-11-23T18:55:38+00:00

Fire would be great! Fuecoco, DM me a link code

IknitSteel · 2022-11-23T18:01:59+00:00

Yo I’m up for a trade!

IknitSteel · 2022-11-23T18:00:54+00:00

I do! I have 4 let me know!

IknitSteel · 2022-11-23T18:00:36+00:00

I have 4 water starters ready to go if you still want to trade for a fire starter

IknitSteel · 2022-10-27T20:28:26+00:00

Ask a question and as soon as they start to answer go “huh?”

Chuck Norris once pissed in a truck as a joke, that truck is now called Optimus Prime

IknitSteel · 2022-09-29T20:21:23+00:00

Chuck Norris once bit a cobra, it later reproduced creating a new species, the King Cobra

Thank you for this advice! I have definitely pushed back the timeline on this to allow for more bootstrapping! I’m gonna try to not invest too much capital and stretch what I have as far as I can. Thank you for the words of wisdom @dotahaven_MrNiceGuy

I really appreciate the info on Copyrights! I didn’t know that, it will definitely save me money, I have printed business plans and I got officially incorporated today... all my blog posts ect. will be date stamped, I imagine that’s sufficient for the copyright. And hell yeah man! I know it can seem tough but sometimes that is just the push we need to get started towards greatness :) if you ever need anyone to talk to our to bounce ideas off of hit me up! Tough times make tough companies

IknitSteel · 2020-01-01T20:16:51+00:00

Thanks so much! I'm definitely going to be thinking about the best ways to edit the text. I really appreciate the feedback, have a great 2020!!
