A year ago, I shared my journey bootstrapping Audioscrape in Rust. Back then: 500 users, SQLite, 4k LoC in main.rs, running on a $7/month VM. Today: 25,000+ transcribed episodes, k…

Hey HN! I built RemoteMCPList ( https://remotemcplist.com ) because I was frustrated by the lack of a proper registry for Model Context Protocol servers. With Anthropic and OpenAI …

I’ve been working on a way to connect Claude (and other Model Context Protocol clients like ChatGPT) to a large index of public and user-uploaded audio. The result is a Remote MCP …

I run Audioscrape — a search engine for podcast knowledge. It lets you search transcriptions and extract who said what across top podcasts. What’s surprising: over the past few wee…

Not local. Inference is the only part not written in Rust so far. I am using Replicate to run docker images with a pipeline based on faster-whipser, VAD, pyannote and a custom LLM …

Seven months ago, I shared Audioscrape - a podcast exploration tool built entirely in Rust, running on a $7/month VM. Since then, we've transformed it into a full-fledged podcast i…

Congrats on the impressive project! Sharing structs between the frontend and backend sounds very helpful. I've experienced the advantage of shared FE and BE code in JS/TS projects,…

That's awesome! Reaching the point where subscribers cover costs is a huge milestone. Rust's reliability making it easy to revisit projects is a big plus. How do you find Rocket an…

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad to hear you find the notification idea useful. I'm considering displaying the current backlog and estimated completion times as you propose. How w…

Thanks for the motivation! I completely agree - using Rust to build a web app is truly refreshing. I've worked with Java, TypeScript, and Python in recent years, and it's gratifyin…

Absolutely, give it another try! I've spent much of my life with GCed languages too. Axum, SQLite with SQLx, and Askama form a dev-friendly combo. Once you grasp Rust's concepts, y…

Thanks for the hint. I didn't know that. So far nothing happened, but I will start using the backup command.

Whisper and Pyannote via Replicate to spin up a container for transcription and diarization. It returns word-level timestamps and speaker turns. The LLM pipeline is built into the …

Thanks. Interesting. What are some best practices for integrating Rust with Elixir/Phoenix in a project, especially when managing CRUD operations and maintaining system efficiency …

Thanks for the hint! We hit the front page on Hacker News and received many submissions, which led to network errors when fetching some podcasts. I've just added retry logic and sc…

Thanks! I was inspired by levelsio's meme about having MVPs in a single index.php file. Traditionally, I've organized codebases into folders, but I started questioning its necessit…

I can confirm this! Initially tried shortcuts with unwrap, but once the structure is solid, it's on par with TS/Python frameworks.

Thanks for asking! Using SQLite with SQLx in Rust provides type-safe SQL queries, which enhances safety by catching errors at compile time. As for backups, the setup is straightfor…

Just posting on X (replying under trending posts or in 'build in public' communities). Some people used the share feature of Audioscrape to emphasize their points in discussions on…

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's impressive to hear about your success with Actix/SQLx and Rust's scalability and efficiency. Knowing Rust can handle such scale is encourag…

whisper + pyannote + custom LLM pipeline to reduce errors, extract and attach speaker labels

Yes, it's just me right now. I'm moonlighting after my day job and bringing my kid to bed.

I'm excited to share my journey of bootstrapping Audioscrape, a podcast exploration platform built entirely in Rust. While many would advise using Ruby on Rails, Python, or TypeScr…
