Aligned pulls from your chosen sources (RSS, Substacks, blogs, or just topics), and every morning at 5am your time it generates a 5-minute audio briefing. But it's not just summarization — during onboarding you set a goal (what you're actually trying to achieve) and per-topic expertise levels (exploring, foundations, or deep).

A founder exploring AI gets a completely different episode than a researcher deep in the field. Same sources, different output.

Stack: Node/Express, Supabase (Postgres + CDN storage), Claude for ranking/scripting, OpenAI TTS for audio, Railway. Hourly cron checks which users have hit 5am in their timezone.

First version took less than a day to build. This is about a week in.

I'd love honest feedback. is a daily 5-minute audio briefing on your topics actually useful to other people, or am I the only one who wants to be updated this frequently?
