Show HN: I made a tool to automate the stupid but fun Family Guy dialogue videos

https://explainerslop.xyz/
1•simpnoza•2h ago
Hey HN,

TLDR: The tool automates the entire process. No scripting, no voice model training, no production headaches. Just paste an article and get a video with Peter and Stewie explaining it.

I'm a self-taught dev (admittedly mediocre), currently between jobs and lately, I've been doom-scrolling news and way too many dense articles. The constant information overload was giving me serious anxiety!!

I built it to: - make complex topics more digestible through humor - create a buffer between me and the constant news cycle - turn learning into something I actually looked forward to

I normally use LLMs to break down complex topics, but I wanted something more engaging and less stressful. A way to consume news without the mental drain.

My vision is to eventually set up ensembles of familiar characters debating complex topics in their signature styles (think Spongebob optimistically tackling climate change).

It's completely free! I built it for myself, but figured others might find it useful too.

Would love your feedback,

Rob
