Hey HN, I'm Josiah. We love voice dictation, but wanted an open source version for transparency, privacy, and something that everyone could contribute to. So we built Voquill, an open source alternative to WisprFlow, Monologue, and Willow.

It lets you dictate into any desktop app. Press a hotkey, talk, text gets inserted. You can run Whisper locally, use our server, or wire up any provider you want (OpenAI, Claude, Groq, OpenRouter, whatever). You have full control over where your data goes.

Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Open source, AGPLv3, built with Tauri and Rust. We're working on a mobile app too (Flutter).

To try it: Download from the repo or voquill.com. Click "local setup" on first launch. Hope you like it!

I built a menu bar app for macOS that does STT and TTS. There are many such apps, but what frustrated me was that most only transcribe microphone input.

SpeechDock can capture and transcribe system-wide audio or audio from a specific app — video calls, online lectures, podcasts, anything your Mac can play. It also does the reverse: select any text on screen (or capture it via OCR) and have it read aloud.

Key points:

- Works out of the box with macOS native STT/TTS — no API keys needed - Optionally connect OpenAI, Gemini, ElevenLabs, or Grok for higher accuracy - Real-time subtitle overlay with translation (80+ languages) - Global hotkeys — use from anywhere without switching apps - AppleScript support for automation - Open source (Apache 2.0)

Requires macOS 14+. Built with Swift/SwiftUI.

We're building an open protocol that lets organizations continuously audit credentials against breach databases WITHOUT exposing passwords, full hashes, or query results to any server.

The core approach: 1. Hash locally with Argon2 2. Send only first 4 chars of SHA-512 (32-bit prefix) to server 3. Server returns all prefix matches 4. Client verifies locally → server never learns outcome

Current state: Protocol spec + threat model + PowerShell client library. We're pre-funding and actively seeking feedback before building the reference implementation.

Try it: https://iamaxolotl-04.github.io/csp-2026/ Spec: https://github.com/IAmAxolotl-04/csp-2026

We'd love feedback on: - Where does this break in real deployments? - What operational constraints are we missing? - Would you use this in your environment?

Happy to answer questions in the comments.

I have found a workflow that makes Claude a fantastic companion for most of the work involved in fullstack web development. The exception I find to be the most significant limitatipn to productive potential however, is interface development and UX. Curious to hear if anyone has relevant experience, or found any good approaches to this?

I built Recycle Abroad after getting confused by local recycling rules while traveling.

You select your home country and current country, and it shows a material-by-material recycling overview (plus nearby recycling centers).

Feedback and corrections are very welcome.
