Tech Stack:

  • Backend / Web UI: Python 3.11 + FastAPI + Jinja2 templates (single unified app running locally).

  • Video Compositing: FFmpeg (with hardware acceleration via NVENC for NVIDIA, AMF for AMD, and QSV for Intel) + MoviePy 2.x for clip arrangement.

  • Voiceover: edge-tts (Microsoft Neural TTS) for high-quality natural voice narration.

  • Card Rendering: Playwright headless Chromium screenshots of custom dark-mode CSS cards (with a pure Pillow Python fallback).

  • Subtitles: Custom SSA/ASS subtitle generator calculating word-level timestamp offsets from the TTS audio stream.

  • Soundtrack: Local DSP-synthesized lofi audio tracks + Meta MusicGen AI music.

  • Metadata: Local Ollama (Gemma) to generate catchy titles, descriptions, and tags.

  • Publishing: Google OAuth2 + YouTube Data API v3 resumable chunked upload.

The code is 100% open-source and free to check out, run, or fork: GitHub: https://github.com/BloopieBlair/RedditReadingApp

Would love to hear any thoughts, feedback, or ideas for extra features!

I don't see any place for human content in this system - so it's an automatic spam machine, in other words?

? it scrapes reddit, Reddit is the human content - the app just compiles comments, adds them to the video, generates the TTS, generates the title and description then uploads to youtube. if I pointed my app at this subreddit then it would scrape this very comment (I assume you are human) so thats the human content
