I feel like it was inevitable, with the recent buzz around NotebookLM. I'm just surprised that it hasn't been done yet.

Wow... Really great.

Can you add some historical archive to listen n hours ago (or morning briefing like) summary as a feature?

Thanks! An archive shouldn't be too hard to implement.

Would a morning briefing include more of a curated selection of news, like the most interesting/most discussed news of the day? Currently I just take the top 5 posts from the main page.

Not just the top five, more like http://www.daemonology.net/hn-daily/ which also ensures newness.

Because of that, catching up on several days will also be unique stories.

That's a real useful resource. Thanks!

I was looking into using the algolia API to get the top 10 posts of the last day, but those won't be unique over the span of several days.
