I'm working on an audiobook service (currently for myself) that will fill in major missing features for platforms like Audible.

- Ignore AI voiced books

- Show me unread books in series that I have in my library

- Experimenting with better search. I have experience with building semantic search systems and have been highly disappointed with Audible's extremely sub-par search capabilities. I want results that are actually based on books, authors, and narrators that I have already purchased, read, or listened to.

- Get automatic notifications when new books from authors and narrators that I subscribe to become available.

There's at least a few more gripes I want to address, but these are the high priority ones that come to mind right now.

>- Ignore AI voiced books

My biggest issue these days, is that after spending 1000 hours messing around in eleven labs, almost all female american audiobook narrators sound AI generated to me. I feel like as a demographic they must have sold a lot of voice recordings to the platform for analysis. I have DNR'ed a few audiobooks recently due to this.
