General Conference Audiobook and eBook!

General Conference Audiobook and eBook!

Just after the April conference, I shared my project [gencon-audiobook](https://github.com/XeroIP/gencon-audiobook). As we're nearing the end of this conference, I wanted to share it again, and let people know that I've been working on it, adding features and fixing bugs. Yes, this was built with Claude Code.

I made this because I was frustrated with the lack of some features in the app that are available in many audiobook apps that support M4B files. I also love reading on my eReader, so this supports both audiobooks and ebooks.

One cool thing that this offers over the audio in the app and on the website is that it can pull audio from the videos which in some conferences is much higher quality. This will use the video audio automatically if it is higher quality.

Please try it out and let me know what works and doesn't. I'm also happy to answer any questions. I'm not great at checking my DMs on Reddit, but I'll pay more attention. If there's enough interest, maybe I'll spin up a Discord server or something.

Yes, it requires a command-line interface, but the project includes full [ELI5-style documentation ](https://github.com/XeroIP/gencon-audiobook/wiki/User-Guide) that will walk you through the process, including installing Python.

For you more technical people, this is fully open source. I want this to be something that the community contributes to and adds features along the way.
