This is awesome to see as an open source project.

This functionality is some of my favorite when editing videos in Descript. It’s so much easier than chopping up waveforms in Audacity

IMHO you should really change the headline on this. I'm an audio person, and my first thought was "that's stupid, words are awful at describing sound". But then I looked, and editing transcriptions of voice recordings by word is actually a great idea. That was not the impression the headline gave me, FWIW!

That’s awesome!

Is 1 emoji for each commit title a new trend?

I'm not sure how new the trend is, but it's called gitmoji (https://gitmoji.dev/) and there's also tooling to make committing/searching for the "correct" emoji easier :D Whatever makes your job more fun, right? Oh and it saves on characters!

Gitmoji has been around for eight years now. https://gitmoji.dev/

One of the hosts of a podcast that I listen to has had positive things to say about DeScript.[0] Just mentioning it because he's been talking about it for a few years so I expect its had a good amount of feature development over time.

this looks great! will try out. I built a similar but very scrappy tool for the same usecase last year, I'd probably not build it if i found this.

I've spent some of my free time over the past couple of months working on something similar. It's in a decent state but I need help from somebody who understands the .fcpxml format so you can export your edits to Davinci and FCP.

Take a look at https://matcha.video

Nice, are there plans to notarize the mac app?

I built something similar here: https://bigwav.app
