alt Hacker NewsAn audiobook streaming service that focuses on timeless classic works in the public domain.
I do everything from building the app to the audio engineering.
One thing I'm especially proud of is the restoration I did on the "War of the Worlds" 1938 Radio broadcast. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I've made it temporarily free to listen to [1] in case anyone is curious. You should compare it with the original [2] and let me know what you think.

You should surface the library of content to public visitors. I would be more likely to convert if I knew that you had the content I wanted.
I’m seeing a lot of AI tells in the cover art (like for War of the Worlds) and book descriptions. Didn’t see any discussion of where the narration comes from on the site. Are all your audiobooks restorations of classic readings? Do you hire narrators to record new ones? Or is there AI involved there too?
Since there's been a reasonable amount of traffic due to this comment, I thought I'd leave a 50% coupon ($11.75 for yr one) for HN folks in case anyone is interested:
