  • Project mention: Ask HN: Nobody interested an open hardware iPod Nano? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-29

    So here is the thing: The iPod Nano 7g is from 2012. I've seen many people designing custom PCBs and releasing Kickstarter projects for custom audio players[5] or game handhelds[6]. I know Rockbox (which is great, but its lacks support for Wifi and Bluetooth AFAIK and just does not compete with the UX of iPod's audio book features in my opinion) and iPod Linux. 10 years ago someone even reverse engineered the iPod Nano 6g display[3].

    Although I'm not skilled enough in PCB-Design, after some research I found the Lilygo T-Display S3 Pro[4] based on ESP32 S3, which would be the size, but lacks audio and OS. There is also the Mango PI CyberPad[7], which looked interesting, but maybe is already too clunky.

    Programming wise, LVGL[8] may be a good framework to develop a modern and efficient UI - at least it looks promising.

    So, why is nobody interested in recreating an iPod nano like device? It should be doable with modern tech, but Phones have completely taken over the marked...

  • syncabook

    📖🎧 A tool for creating ebooks with synchronized text and audio (EPUB3 with Media Overlays)

  • Project mention: I made an open-source, self-hostable synced narration platform for ebooks | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-24

    Amazing! I've made a similar ebooks-audiobooks aligner years ago: https://github.com/r4victor/syncabook. At that time, I chose to synthesize the text and align two audio sequences because I found texts-alignment approaches (including ML-based ones) too compute-intensive and inadequate for long texts. I see Storyteller works by aligning the texts. Could you give some view on how long it takes to sync a book?

    Also, my experience was that audio and text versions are often very different (e.g. the audio having an intro missing from the text). It'd very interesting to know how well Storyteller handles such cases. Does it require manual audio/text editing or handle the differences automatically?

    There's a native iOS Audiobookshelf client on GitHub called Audiobooks. It's nicer than the official app, but installing your own apps on iOS is a huge PITA if you're not a fee-paying Apple developer.
