With due respect for the hard work people have put in on that project, is
there any indication Spoken Articles has any traction and will grow beyond
that ~1K articles? Wouldn't using Android's TTS API to read the most
up-to-date version of the article be a much better user experience (35M
articles, always up-to-date, instead of 1K articles, almost always out of
date?)
