The full episode is worth a listen — but if you’re short on time, here’s the 5-minute Shortcast summary:

rokgregoric··on Shortcast AI
Hey everyone

I just launched Shortcast AI — it turns any podcast into a short, high-quality summary in real human voices.

Most summaries are under 2 minutes, capturing key insights without losing tone or context. I built it because I love podcasts but rarely have time to finish full episodes.

Would love your feedback — especially on:

• The quality and naturalness of the voices

• How well the summaries capture the main ideas

You can try it here → https://shortcast.me

Happy to chat about the tech (summarization pipeline, TTS voices, ...).

rokgregoric··on Layer Brings A Scalable Communications Platform To Any Mobile Or Web App
Everything you saw on the presentation will be available with very few lines of code. By using Layer SDK you will get messages sync cross devices, delivery notifications, delivery dismissal when a message has been opened (if using multiple devices), offline messaging thats syncs when you come back online. All you'll have to do is to define a search query for your UITableViewController and style your UITableViewCell and you are done, we'll take care of everything else.

rokgregoric··on How to record audio in Chrome with native HTML5 APIs
Agreed ... and even more disappointing is when you have to say to your users to use Safari when 2 weeks ago you said to them to switch to Chrome :(
rokgregoric··on How to record audio in Chrome with native HTML5 APIs
You need to go to chrome://flags to enable Web Audio Input. The request for the microphone has nothing to do with that .. it's working with or without Web Audio Input.

Crazy .. Love it!
rokgregoric··on How to record audio in Chrome with native HTML5 APIs
No, I didn't .. But I heard it has some glitches here and there.

Chrome is a super browser .. we all agree .. it's just not acceptable for a bug like mentioned in the article to go through canary, beta and into stable version .. and stay there for 3 week+.
