Hey Product Hunters. Apple just approved this late last night. I wanted to be able to keep up with my timeline while driving, so I whipped up this app. I've been using it on my daily commute. I love it, but then I'm biased.
I'm more than happy to share some promo codes to fellow hunters. Just let me know!

@dubyaemdee I drive a couple of hours on my daily commute 5x a week. I'd love to try out your app.
@jxslepton Absolutely! Drop me a line at wdinkel@obeemobee.com and I'll send you a promo code. Here's how a car session usually goes:
"Hey Siri, open Social Speaker."
(App launches. Pick an account if you haven't already. Pick a source.)
"Hey Siri, read my Social Speaker messages."
(Siri reads to you.)
Siri says: "Would you like to reply?"
Say "Yes" or "No".
When Siri eventually says "There are no messages on Social Speaker", it may automatically drop you back into the app. My car's Bluetooth setup will do that. If not, just say "Hey Siri, goodbye."
Then when you're ready for more messages, repeat the process with "Hey Siri, read my Social Speaker messages."
There's your commute!
Just released an update with new features and fixes. Now you can choose how many messages Siri will read at a time (between 10-50). I prefer 10-20, but for those of you with very active timelines, 50 could be for you. But note at that number she'll be reading for a long, long time.
And there are new phrases to trigger Siri: "Read messages using Social Speaker" or "Find messages on Social Speaker".
Promo codes still available for Product Hunters! Just contact me at wdinkel@obeemobee.com.
Another update posted yesterday, adding Japanese support, reading from your Favorites/Likes, and some other interface tweaks, especially on iPad. As before, hit me up for a promo code if you want to give it a try!
Version 2 is in TestFlight beta testing! No more launching Siri. Now Tweets will be spoken and displayed in the app. Lots of other new features too! Sign up here: http://www.obeemobee.com/social-...

@dubyaemdee Sounds great (see what I did there? 😬) and I'd love to try it out too! Thanks!
