# Gipety For Hacker-News Threads



Welcome to the Gipety project! This repository hosts the audio podcast discussions of Hacker News threads, which are featured on [news.gipety.com](https://news.gipety.com). 



We rely on community contributions to create and upload these podcast files. Follow this guide to get involved!



## Example

2. **Select the Hacker News Thread**: Choose a thread that you think would be interesting as a podcast discussion.

3. **Create the Audio**:

### Step 3: Submit a Pull Request (PR)

Once your changes are ready, submit a pull request to this repository. We will review it and merge it into the main branch.



### Step 4: There is no step 4!!

We will take care of creating the related endpoint on gipety.com and linking it to your audio.



### Getting Help

If you are unable to submit a file for any reason you can also open GitHub issue requesting that we create one for you for a particular HN thread.
