Podbook
Turn any RSS feed into a professionally formatted book.
About
Podbook turns an RSS feed into a book. The idea is to transform a podcast or blog into something you can read offline and keep, with the structure and formatting of a real book instead of a pile of posts.
The web app has user accounts, projects and a full API behind a React front end, and a separate landing site. Feed processing, AI content generation and export to PDF and EPUB are still to be built, so treat it as a work in progress.
