OneMoreSuperUser · reddit · 2026-09-26
A developer shared Frateca, a mobile app built entirely with Gemini that converts webpages, Substack/Medium articles, PDFs, copied text, and even photos of text into natural-sounding audio with background playback. Built with React Native (Expo), NodeJS, and Framer, it's free on the App Store, Google Play, and web, and requests no permissions by default.
