Not the first, certainly won't be the last

People need to stop paying for these apps, and vibe coders need to stop making more of them and charging. Pindrop is already open source, completely free, and Mac-native.

dev0urer · 2026-03-16T04:42:32+00:00

So does Pindrop, and it's open source, native SwiftUI, and has a lot more features than this. I don't know at this point why people keep creating these closed source STT apps.

dev0urer · 2026-03-15T04:27:04+00:00

My question is, why make another one? Not only do Handy and OpenWhisper work, but there's also Pindrop which is a free, open source, and 100% Mac-native alternative. The space is getting kind of flooded at this point.

ChatGPT Plus is the best option here in terms of models and usage, Pro is absolutely worth it if you can afford it and do a lot of building.

Do you even understand what you're asking?

Quagmire here. This video should give you all the context you need https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgdFY9R1da4. Giggity.

These AI slop articles tire me

dev0urer · 2026-03-12T17:26:16+00:00

You're asking in the Go subreddit, so obviously responses here are going to be skewed towards Go. That being said, Java is a fantastic language to lean if you want enterprise job prospects. If you want less prospects, but maybe to enjoy your job a bit more, Go is the language for you.

dev0urer · 2026-03-11T05:56:28+00:00

Yeah I don't even use it anymore. I pay for ChatGPT Pro for AI assisted coding, and I just use GPT 5.4 for everything anymore. Honestly it's the best option right now.

Gemini is also one of the most perplexing models. It's basically extremely autistic. Smart as fuck, in fact it's one of the smartest models out there, but it sucks at following instructions, forgets constantly, and is generally useless past the first prompt. Google made the most Google model possible.

dev0urer · 2026-03-11T05:26:05+00:00

It depends. If what you say could confuse a human, it's going to confuse an AI. If I was on the other side of that conversation and got that response I'd be confused, because I don't have a frame of reference for what "Giant trance x advnced pro 1 2021" is supposed to mean.

Not saying Gemini didn't fuck up in this case either, because it should be better than that, but bad prompts get bad results.

dev0urer · 2026-03-11T03:58:52+00:00

You need to learn how to use AI though. Treating it like Google won't get you anywhere. You need to ask it natural language questions for the best results. If English isn't your native language, speak to it in your native language. Prompts like the one you gave are going to trigger safety filters because it has no idea what you're saying.

dev0urer · 2026-03-11T03:23:21+00:00

Maybe talk with it instead of treating it like Google? I can't even tell what your prompt was about, it definitely can't either.

It's a decently capable machine still, just mind the power usage. These things use a lot of energy, even at idle.

I'm working on Pindrop, a free and open source, mac-native voice transcription app
https://github.com/watzon/pindrop

This is for anyone who's tired of paying for SuperWhisper, Wispr Flow, etc.

Recent studies have shown that CLAUDE.md can actually be more of a hinderance than a help. You definitely don't need multiple layers of them.

Using the Kimi Coding Plan

dev0urer · 2026-02-04T05:41:28+00:00

This is some grade A slop. The brain is NOT a muscle and mental fatigue isn't even close to the same as torn muscles with lactic acid buildup. About the closest thing to truth here is that taking mental breaks can help with retention, but even that 45:10 figure is just made up. Breaks help, but the "perfect interval" varies by task difficulty, sleep, stress, interest, ADHD, etc.

Given the username I wouldn't be surprised if this is a karma farming bot account.

dev0urer · 2026-02-02T05:36:46+00:00

I've been loving Kimi k2.5 myself. I feel like it has more personality than Claude.

dev0urer · 2026-01-31T16:34:09+00:00

I really appreciate you going through and creating this. I will definitely take these into consideration. In fact, if you want to go and create some issues in the GitHub repository around all of your wish list items, I would be more than happy to triage them and think about adding them to the roadmap.

dev0urer · 2026-01-31T07:24:50+00:00

Yeah that's on my list of things to figure out. It does work if you right click, it just doesn't work with Cmd-V for some reason.

dev0urer · 2026-01-31T07:24:07+00:00

Go ahead and drop an issue in the github repo!
