Why we included this project

For Chinese-speaking readers who want to follow Hacker News without refreshing the front page all day, this project turns the daily top stories into a podcast. On a schedule it pulls the most-discussed items, has an LLM summarize both the articles and the comment threads, and converts the digest into Chinese narration through TTS. The audio lands in an RSS feed, a web page, and podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and 小宇宙. The whole pipeline runs on Cloudflare Workers with R2 and KV storage, so it behaves like a small serverless service rather than a script you run locally. It's also a useful reference if you're building your own automated content-to-audio workflow; the repo shows the full path from scraping to LLM summarization to speech synthesis and syndication。
