Let's go! Trying it out, appreciate you building this as the hosted/online alternatives (Granola, Notion recorder, ChatGPT recorder etc) don't really make sense if you can record locally.

hope you give us some feedback that we can push further on! this is our discord(https://hyprnote.com/discord) if you're interested

Do you intend to reach feature parity with something like MacWhisper? I'd love to switch to something open source, but automated meeting detection, push to transcribe (with custom rewrite actions) are two features I've learned to love, beside basic transcript. I also enjoy the automatic transcription from an audio, video or a even a YouTube link. But because MacWhisper does not store transcripts or do much with them…

definitely planning to catch up to other tools - we ship FAST!

automated meeting detection - working on this. push to transcribe - want to understand more about this. (could we talk more over at our discord? https://hyprnote.com/discord)

if you're using logseq, we'd love to build an integration for you.

finally, speaker identification is a big challenge for us too.

so many things to do - so exciting!

How to deal with the AI meeting recording function that comes with conference software?

hyprnote listens to both sounds coming out(system audio output) and going in(microphone input) so it will work perfectly fine with virtual meetings.

This is perfect timing! I just cancelled my fireflies.ai subscription yesterday because it just felt unnecessary. I prefer using less platforms and more tools, especially those that can work under the surface.

happy to support you! would love to hear your feedback. we have a discord up and running, fyi.

Another sso.tax candidate. Let's actively not support software that chooses anti-security.

totally fair concern. we’re actually on the same side when it comes to promoting good security practices like SSO. the reason we’re gating the admin server under a business license is less about profiting off sso and more about drawing a line between individual and organizational use. it includes a bunch of enterprise-specific features (sso, access control, integrations, ...) that typically require more support and m…

Fair stance. I believe sso tax is a necessary evil.

I'm always amazed at these relatively tiny projects that "launch" with a "customers" list that reads like they've spent 10 years doing hard outbound enterprise sales: Google, Intel, Apple, Amazon, Deloitte, IBM, Ford, Meta, Uber, Tencent, etc.

have to admit that we did some logo plays. but our users are really all over the place and just wanted to show it off! i am not sure how it looked but that's why we didn't use terms like "teams" or "customers" to be honest while showing some validation.

> we did some logo plays

Help me understand what this means

Congrats on the launch. Is there a reason why the app isn't sandboxed?

What kind of sandboxing you expect? keen to learn more about it since we care about security too. (one reason why we use Tauri over Electron)

Just the default macOS sandboxing entitlement[1], which is mandatory for all apps on the Mac App Store, and optional for notarized apps.

The most honest version is the company is paying for the tool. The most stretched version I’ve seen is a former employee of a company uses the tool in a personal capacity. Most commonly for newly launched things it means someone with an @company email has tried the tool (even if they didn’t pay). You could, for example, set up a waitlist and then let anyone with a logo-worthy email in.

"Logo play" is such a YCombinator word for Lie.

It says "Our users are everywhere" and shows some logos for the companies these users are from.

If the users are from those companies, this is not lying.

If they added logos for companies their users are not from, it would be lying.

Adding a logo to your webpage has started to follow different patterns for the stage of the company.

Early stage companies show things like "people at X, Y, Z use our product!" (showing logos without permission), whilst later stage ones tend to show logos after asking for permission, and with more formal case studies.

They may not have asked for permission to show these logos, but that's not the same thing as lying.
