Show HN: Summarise – A personal, talking wake-up alarm for iOS

Great app, I am going to make it my default alarm for a few days to test. 2 suggestions:

- wouldn't it be great to have the option to start reading automatically, instead of having to slide up? I couldn't find this option. By not doing so, I am afraid I am just going to snooze, like I do with my current alarm clock

- Would be nice to have some basic interactions for the News channel: say "yes" to read the article into details, instead of just reading the titles. Or maybe read the article by default?

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm taking those on board for updates. And thanks for trying it out.

For the News channel - I tried to get the right mix of being enough, but not too much. Maybe even allowing the user to set the density might be a good idea!

Great idea. Reminds me of a sci-fi movie (which one?).

It's inspired by Jarvis from Iron Man. :)

A friend of mine has made a similar thing, although it can be used as a general purpose audio stream, not only as an alarm: Capsule.fm [1].
