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.

#132I just tried to build on Linux and it keeps panicking because it requires dozen(s) of API keys. I was not expecting that from local first software.

I'm also interested in learning about why the API keys are required to build.
I made it required to prevent accidentally ship app without any analytics/error tracking. (analytics can be opted out)
For ex, https://github.com/fastrepl/hyprnote/blob/327ef376c1091d093c...
EDIT: Prod -> release

#134I'm building a voice-controlled app, so it requires transcription. The problem is that the app talks back, so some amount of AEC is needed. It looks like your "generic" AEC is ML powered, but your planned platform specific AEC may use non-ML tech (i.e. looks like you're considering Windows/Mac specific APIs). Have you had a bad experience with AI powered AEC?
no. actually it is pretty good :)

#135Earlier quoted context omitted.
For individuals: We have a Pro license implemented in our app. Some non-essential features like custom templates or multi-turn chat are gated behind a paid license. (A custom STT model will also be included soon.) There's still no sign-up required. We use keygen.sh to generate offline-verifiable license keys. Currently, it's priced at $179/year. For business: If they want to self-host some kind of admin server with i…
Does that mean the admin server is not open source?

#138Curious what made you decide to start with the macOS version. Some insight that most potential customers are on Macs or simply "we use Macs, dogfood time"? I'd always target Windows first for these tools. Looks cool, I'll wait for the Linux version and try it. Integration of automatic translations could be an interesting business plan value-add. Branching out into CRM things also makes sense to me. Good luck, keep sh…
For macOS, it is dogfooding, and also lots of AI models are Mac optimized + overall Mac device more powerful than windows, so suited to on-device thing.

#139Do 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!
But your home page makes it looks like you already have it. I just tried it in a 30-minute meeting with 20 people and it put the entire conversation under a single speaker, in a single paragraph.

However, due to various challenges and priority changes, we haven't been able to do so yet. We'll update the landing page soon.
