A Python library for lazy people (like myself), who never finds time to read daily Medium posts and prefer to listen to them instead. It convert medium post to markdown using a Docker container/image then uses gTTs to interface with Google Translate's text-to-speech API which converts text to spoken MP3 files, thereafter plays the generated mp3 files with cvlc assuming it is installed.
