There are still some quirks, like cleaning up the audio quality, for example. Here’s what Fable will look like when/if we finish building it.

I wanted to explore rebuilding the NotebookLM Podcast feature and making it more accessible. Here’s a snippet of a 30+ minute podcast generated by my app after I uploaded The Little Bitcoin Book to it.

Yeah I don’t think it’s super likely without better batteries. I think the short term solution is faster & more efficient local models. https://warpcast.com/timigod.eth/0xd2f0ff92

If that’s the case, then nobody will make 1 hour videos on desktop either. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Well, that makes my point. Today, people are creating 30-second to 5-minute videos on their phones, a big leap from nothing just a few years ago. In the next 5 years, it could easily become 30-minute or even hour-long videos, especially with AI driving the shift. Almost every task is being done more on mobile: gaming, photo editing, coding, document editing. ALL of these had zero mobile activity not that long ago.

*GPU intensive, you mean? I’m pretty sure all mobile video editing tools like iMovie, LumaFusion etc do some video encoding. Things always start out as “being better/only possible on desktop”, but they always eventually make it to mobile.

But they’ll always have an “unfair”advantage for their own offerings.

The solution is probably just MUCH faster local models. Apple has never allowed meaningful background processing and yet, apps do a lot of cool, previously considered time consuming things.

I’m playing around with a NotebookLM podcast generator type knock off and even if there was a local tts model that was lightweight enough, the user would still have to wait ~3-5 mins without closing the app for a podcast to be generated.

Increasingly capable local models (like Llama 3.2 1b & 3b) make me very optimistic about inference at the edge - mostly because of cost. However, I worry about how limited they’ll be if Apple continues to disallow any kind of meaningful background processing on iOS.

I don’t understand Unichain (and a lot of other “app chains”)

Just rented Robot Dreams and found out that it’s entirely dialogue free.

With time, the differences/advantages can increase. FWIW, I built Quick Snack entirely with Cursor. I love Cursor.

I guess the primary advantage is that you don’t have to set up anything to have something tangible in your hands that you can actually use. Setting up Expo etc w/ cursor is a little long, even when you’re not a noob, it should be abstracted.

I’ve had a lot of fun tinkering with this over the past couple of weeks. With https://quicksnack.dev, you can rapidly build React Native apps using AI. See demo (1.2x speed):
