Hey Product Hunters! 👋 My name is Yoni Tzafrir, and I am the CEO and founder of Newsly. I couldn’t be more excited to join the community! Firstly, I want to thank @chrismessina for hunting our product! Last year I came up with the idea for Newsly after brainstorming ways to create an inclusive app where individuals who face language barriers or learning disabilities or visual impairments could receive the same access to information as those who do not face the same barriers. I also wanted to find a solution to receiving personalized, trending web content in a convenient way. But since I’m not always the sharpest pencil in the box, only after a lot of people started telling me about it, I have realized this is actually a perfect solution for anyone who likes to consume audio on their mobile but doesn’t have a solution for topical content on the web. Listen to top-trending web articles, read in a natural voice while you wash the dishes or laundry, cook, clean the house, commute, walk the dog or just relax. You can listen to it while you read the web article as well. Want your podcasts on the same playlist? You got it, we have it all! Newsly allows users to: 🎧 Listen to top-trending web articles that are updated, 24/7 📱 Explore topics that interest them, such as Technology, Business, Science and Entertainment 🎧 Discover trending podcasts 📱 Create a personalized experience by building a custom playlist Newsly is 100% free to download and use! We also offer our friends at product hunt a discount code to receive a one-month free premium subscription 🙀! Thank you, and I hope you enjoy using Newsly! I’m excited to hear your feedback and thoughts on my app in the comments!

@yonitzafrir congrats on the launch. Do you use the OS-provided voice synthesis engine (i.e. so the voices will differ on iOS and Android) or something else?
Yoni Tzafrir
@chrismessina No, we use different voices, the best that can be found today. We found the OS-provided voices to be unnatural.
Yoni Tzafrir
BTW, that could be a perfect solution for people looking for ideas for their SEO content, since it reads you whatever is most trending on the web at any given moment.

Ofer Frenkel
Cool app. Any plans to add additional languages or news from other countries? (Israel for example ☺️)
Yoni Tzafrir
@ofer_frenkel yes, we are definitely working on it. Of course that would depend on the resources we would have...
Iliya Lubeznov
Great app! I especially appreciate the playlist feature. Very easy to build a playlist in advance and listen without further intervention
Yoni Tzafrir
@iliya_lubeznov Thank you! We tried to make it as intuitive as possible - drag and drop style, saving the tracks location etc...now we are planning a change which is delete finished track from the playlist. What do you think about that?

I enjoy scrolling through the news titles this app picks for me, it’s very diverse so I get around listening to articles and podcasts, but also the kind I wouldn’t encounter through typical news apps or podcasts...😺 This one must have a strong ML to get the right content IN 💪🏼
Yoni Tzafrir
@yuval_herman we would keep make it interesting for you, and add even more content

I'm excited to see Newsly on ProductHunt! I've personally used the app myself in its earlier stages and find that it is the easiest way to find the internet's hottest news in audio form. When I originally installed Newsly, I was greeted pleasantly with a sleek interface and it took not even a minute to figure out how to begin listening to news. Seeing how Newsly has expanded over the last few months with frequent updates excites me! The app has come a very long way from when I first installed it. I think that in a world of capitalism and commercialism, Newsly is an app for the people; and this is proved well by the extent of the service offered to non-premium users. If you're on the fence about this one, I recommend trying it out. As a suggestion or two to the makers of Newsly.. I believe the app should have an alternate color scheme option for users to select. I've shown the app to some of my friends and their largest criticism was the bright pink interface. Personally, I like the color pink, but I fear that for people who do not, the app may be a bit abrasive. I'd love to see more categories of news to select from, perhaps various niches.. Chess News, Video Gaming News, News About Education / Universities, Geology news, etc etc. All in all, it's a worth a download! Users of Newsly will emerge with some great information!

Amazing App to listen to all new staff while I'm walking with my dog at morning and evening time while no need to stare in to my phone screen during. Amazing idea!!! . BTW, the speakers are very clear and the content seems to be well chosen. Very nice Newsly team!! :-)
Yoni Tzafrir
@yaron_kempler haha yes, people have told me that dog-waking is classic for this app
Dikla
Sounds great, like someone actually reads it. How can I see the article while hearing it?
Yoni Tzafrir
@dikla_tzafrir when you inside the track (full screen mode), you can click on the the domain on the top, then it opens the URL in in-app browsing,
