Show HN: SciCrumb – 3-minute podcasts from the latest research papers (scicrumb.com)
2 points by hugoib 11 months ago | hide | past | favorite
Hi HN!

I’ve been exploring how to make scientific research more accessible.

Academic papers are powerful but hard for non-specialists (or even busy specialists!) to digest.

So I built SciCrumb — a tiny site where I convert new research papers into short ~3-minute podcast-style audio summaries.

The idea is:

Bridge the gap between research and curiosity Save time for people who’d rather listen Make science less intimidating

Right now, I’ve manually curated and narrated 4 papers across: Medicine Computer Science Economics Environment

It’s early days. I’d love feedback on: Whether this is useful Topics people care about

I would love to scale it to a full blown app and bring science to regular people.

Thanks for checking it out!
