You can easily turn e-books in .epub format into high-quality audiobooks using Audiblez, a free tool that uses Kokoro's natural-sounding text-to-speech voices in many languages. It works on Windows, Mac, and Linux, with options for command line or a simple graphical interface. You can choose different voices, adjust reading speed, and even pick specific chapters to convert. Using a GPU speeds up the process significantly. The final audiobook is saved as an .m4b file, playable on most audiobook apps. This saves you time and money compared to hiring narrators and lets you listen to books hands-free anywhere.

This is Probably the Best Video Downloader App (And it is Free and Open Source) | itsFOSS
VidBee allows you to download videos from YouTube, Facebook, X, Instagram, etc. In fact, it supports over 1,800 websites.
It is built on top of popular command line tools like yt-dlp and #ffmpeg. For the interface, it uses the Electron framework. I understand that some people dislike Electron framework as it runs a web browser underneath, but the 'advantage' of this framework is that you get the same interface in all the operating systems. At least, it's an advantage for the developers as they don't have to build the interface separately for #Linux, #Windows and #macOS.
The source code for VidBee is available on its GitHub repository.
