I adore HN and can only be extremely grateful to be on the homepage, but, my server is going to melt haha

The text to speech is generated on the server using the amazing Piper [0]. Be gentle :-)

Deeply, unashamedly self-promotional links:

- this same server runs 43 projects (I counted) thanks to Disco [1], a self-hosted PaaS open source project I contribute to. It's used by solo devs and startups to iterate fast and not spend $10k+ on Heroku/Render/Vercel.

- I released a bunch of funny-ish projects I'm proud of recently: noise'r'us [2] (like placekittens.com but for audio), a site to help spammers reflect on what they did [3], a (not fun) trivia about WordPress functions [4], qrsticks [5], a surprising way of generating QR codes from stick figures, and spacebar [6], a Finder/Quick Look extension that lets you preview .sqlite3 and .md files in the Finder.

- and more haha. I'm excited to revamp my personal sites to point to more stuff. in the meantime here's a sorta portfolio [7]

Cheers!

This is so freaking awesome! I wonder if you can find palindrome sentences that sound the same forwards and backwords.
