I have been in software for a while now. I just love learning and doing cool stuff.
As for being able to hack in Swift specifically... I'm comfortable in 5-6 languages, and play with many more. The language itself feels like a mix of C# and Kotlin to me. But I had no familiarity with Mac OS APIs or SwiftUI / MVVM etc. but there's lots of docs, despite them having effectively no examples.
The repo has a lot of room to grow in terms of quality, which is perfectly ok in my book.
Re: Apple Silicon - I should have just said "I built it on my laptop which is an M1 Air and it's managing to keep up with the screenshot -> OCR -> ffmpeg rendering pipeline and not completely drain the battery and have a strong suspicion it will require a lot more work to get it to perform the same on Intel computers"
As for clone it and build it in Linux / Windows - do it. And there are other comments here suggesting others want to do the same.
I personally want this thing, if I can impact speed of it happening positively, awesome.
I want to record everything and have this nice big dataset which is what I've experienced (on my laptop) the last X amount of time, and be able to do stuff with it - whether it's chat with a local llm or have a really good way to search back in time. I _constantly_ need things from the past.
