Speasy today and where it's heading

This post is a snapshot of Speasy as it is right now. If you want the full backstory and design thinking, start with the Speasy case study first.

What speasy is now

Speasy turns selected writing into audio and delivers it as a podcast-style experience. It is built for moments where reading does not fit: commuting, walking, chores, and the gaps between meetings.

The product is intentionally calm. The goal is to help people stay in motion with ideas, without adding another system to manage.

What I am keeping simple on purpose

There are many things I could add, but most would increase effort.

For now I am keeping Speasy focused on:

  • reliable audio that starts quickly
  • predictable digests rather than endless feeds
  • a small number of clear screens
  • familiar podcast patterns so it feels natural

If a feature adds mental effort, it does not ship.

What I am exploring next

The next step is depth, not scale.

I am exploring:

  • clearer structure in summaries
  • stronger signals for what matters most
  • light personalisation without extra setup
  • better ways to move from a short summary into more detail

The aim is to help listeners feel informed, without feeling behind.
