Hi HN,

I was frustrated by the lag in Electron-based Whisper wrappers. Most of them feel disconnected from the typing experience because of the 2-5s delay.

I built VoiceFlow to solve this. It’s a native Rust core that targets 0.3s-0.6s latency. The goal is to make voice-to-text feel as instant as typing.

Key features:

Global hotkey [Ctrl+Space] to type into any app (Slack, VS Code, etc.)

Native Rust implementation for performance and low memory footprint

AI-based post-processing for punctuation and style

Privacy-focused: Microphone is only active during the keypress

I'm currently in private beta and looking for feedback, especially on the latency and UX.

I'll be around to answer any technical questions!

Hi HN,

I have been experimenting with a messaging protocol called FLUX. The goal is to explore what email might look like if it was designed today instead of in the 1980s.

FLUX tries to simplify a few things that feel complicated in the current email stack. Identity is based on cryptographic keys instead of usernames and passwords. Messages are signed and verified automatically. The transport is real time and does not depend on the traditional SMTP relay model.

The current implementation is small and meant as a prototype. The whole server is only a few hundred lines of Python so the protocol is easy to read and experiment with.

Repo: https://github.com/levkris/flux-protocol

I am mostly interested in feedback on the protocol design. What problems would appear in a real deployment. What parts are unnecessary. What would need to exist for something like this to actually work on the open internet.

Thanks for taking a look. levkris (wokki20)

Hey HN,

I'm Mario from Vienna. I’m the designated "IT guy" for my family (the guy they call to plug in a Scart cable or to setup Chrome).

A few weeks ago, I spent over two hours wrestling with Docker (and some for my at this time unknown Terminal commands) just to get a CLI-based AI agent running. It ate all my RAM, and I had a realization: my wife, my non-technical clients, or my 6-year-old son could never set this up. If I deployed something like this, I'd spend my life doing setup-support (and this isn't just about finding the HDMI 1 to HDMI 2 input on the remote control).

I’ve been "vibecoding" with LLMs for a while the last 2 years, mostly building common landingpages or simple retro games to show my son that we live in a wild time where you can build a lot of 'entertaining' stuff just by prompting. I decided to pivot an old, failed Laravel SaaS of mine (Skales) into a native desktop app to solve this setup hell.

The only goal I wanted to reach: an autonomous AI agent that installs like a normal app (.exe / .dmg). No PhD required. Download, Install, Done.

It actually worked. My 60+ year old mom got it running instantly (so.. is Skales now a Grandma-Approved AI Agent?), and my 6yr used the built-in Coding Skill to make his own retro game (I wouldn't say its really a 'game' when it's basically a one level copy of Super Mario - but he loves it).

What it does:

ReAct autopilot, bi-temporal memory, browser automation (Playwright), and native integrations (Gmail, Telegram, Calendar).

BYOK: Works with OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, or local Ollama.

Tech stack: Electron + Next.js + Node.js (I managed to keep idle RAM around ~300MB).

Everything is stored locally in ~/.skales-data.

I know that being a "design guy who vibecoded an Electron app" (or Marketing-Dude) is basically fresh meat for the HN crowd. Feel free to roast the architecture! But my main goal was just making these incredible AI tools accessible for everyday tasks (formatting resumes, sending PDFs, building simple games) without touching a terminal or moving from one tool to another tool.

License note: The project is BSL-1.1 (Source-available, free for personal use). I chose this simply because I don't want a giant company to just take the repo, build their brand around Skales and commercially resell it, but I want the code out there for the community to use and learn from.

(excuse my English - i'm not a native speaker)

Would love your honest feedback on the UX (could be maybe better?)!
