The problem with many STT models is that they seem to mostly be trained on perfectly-accented speech and struggle a lot with foreign accents so I’m curious to try this one as a Frenchman with a rather French English accent.
So far, the best I have found while testing models for my language learning app (Copycat Cafe) is Soniox. All others performed badly for non native accents. The worst were whisper-based models because they hallucinate when they misunderstand and tend to come up with random phrases that have nothing to do with the topic.
As a indie hacker/SaaS founder, I have found it surprisingly useful. Allowed me to connect with likeminded people, gain customers, discuss interesting topics. With the right circle, LinkedIn can actually be nice.
I don’t necessarily agree with his political opinions. And that’s a huge understatement.
But DHH has, and continues, to do a lot to share his obvious passion and endless curiosity for tech. I’m not going to stop following him and enjoying his work just because he is not as woke as I am. Politics is not everything.
He a self important egotistic who's finally admitted he's been wrong the whole time and "discovered" what's been under his nose for over 20 years after all the people he kept shitting on did all the hard work to make Linux a fantastic option for dev work.
Dark theme is an accessibility issue for people with eye diseases like mine. If you both need high luminance contrast and have photophobia, dark themes are the only ones that are usable.
There are workarounds, like inverting all the colors on your screen, but they suck.
You can also use the Dark Reader browser extension [0], an open-source extension for Chromium and Firefox that works on most websites (including Hacker News) in the dynamic mode, restyling the page to a dark theme!
When I can access something in the browser rather than only via native apps, I rely heavily on Dark Reader, Midnight Lizard, and Page Shadow. Love all three to death
I agree with both of you. GP was harsh, but I personally think dark theme is necessary (and a very basic feature). However, I am grateful that Proton released this as I always felt _icky_ using tools like Grok or ChatGPT. I'm sure improvements will not take long to arrive.
Ironically, that’s exactly how I feel going to a pub. I don’t really care for beer so anything works for me but I’m often expected to choose from many.
Maybe I’m just not your target customer but I honestly have no idea why I would want to replace DocuSign or how your tool is different. You may want to clarify your positioning.
Right now, an AI tool that generates mockups for branding agencies. But I’m still validating the idea so who knows. Ideally, I would like a stack that would work for most SaaS I may think of building. Tempted to give Elixir Phoenix a try. I briefly tried it a few years back and it just felt right.
