I think there is a streaming version of Parakeet. It is often referred to as Nemotron, though. I tried comparing Parakeet streaming with Moonshine streaming. Moonshine is smaller, and I felt it was subjectively faster with about the same le

My app uses this moonshine-voice python package, so you can experience it yourself here: https://rift-transcription.vercel.app/local-setup I made moonshine the default because it has the best accuracy/latency (aside fr

Try Moonshine with a browser GUI: uv tool install rift-local && rift-local serve --open This opens RIFT[1], my web frontend for local transcription with a copy button. You can also compare against Web Speech API and other m

Sure,there are models that are 30X realtime, but not streaming: the transcription doesn't start until after the utterance is complete. So realtime streaming seems even faster. If the transcription started out bad, you can cancel and re

Yes, it's a lot of spec work. But a lot of it is research and exploring alternatives. Sometimes Claude suggests ideas I would have never thought of or attempted on my own. Like a custom python websocket server: https://githu

- No, I did not know everything I wanted to cover beforehand. Claude helps me brainstorm, research, and elaborate on my ideas. The spec is a living document that I occasionally check in: https://github.com/Leftium/rift-

A goal of the site used to be to function without JS. (A progressively enhanced app) And it's a serverless app. So localStorage and DB were not options.

Very nice! I've been using mdserve. A nice feature is a sidebar that lists all the MD files in a directory. I wish it could also list sub-directories. The reason is because I organize related MD files in directories, with sub-directori

It seems to me you expect Claude to be able to one-shot your tool based on a single prompt. Potentially "vibe-coding" as in the sense: you don't know how to develop this yourself (perhaps you are not a software developer?) Wh

Oh~ I missed "Shared items split cleanly" in the copy. And I didn't feel like creating a new account to check it out. Would be nice if you didn't have to sign up/login. (Maybe like how a shopping cart allows creatin

In Korea (and probably other cultures) the whole group orders items together and shares. So the splitting math is a little different: - Simplest: just divide total by N people - Different subtotals for food, alcohol, and drinks - The most c

There are forms of state that are reversible: essentially, you store read-only events instead of writing to existing state. The main disadvantages are more complexity and performance issues. Examples: - Event sourcing: https://yo

Svelte used to have compile-time reactivity, but switched to runtime reactivity via signals: https://svelte.dev/blog/runes I'm curious if Coi will also suffer from the drawbacks of compile-time reactivity. Or as i

Instead of directly passing the CSV data to the LLM, have the LLM write a script that will read the CSV and output the trends. (Then it can run the script and report on the results.) I wanted to figure out reasonable values for range of dai

I think web sites are often a "feature" or means to an end. It may be better to focus on the benefits. (Like more sales/revenue. Reduced customer support. Etc.) For example, I had a client who wanted me to build a web site

One advantage I've noticed for Tailwind: - If you just paste an outerHTML from the dev tools, AI coding agents can immediately figure out what it will look like; debug styles; etc. I personally preferred PicoCSS for a long time. Pico w

Fair enough. I added a toggle button and removed decimal °C. Weather uncertainty may make that extra precision less useful.

Thanks for the feedback. You helped make my app more readable (I went a little overboard on the gradients; I thought the gradients would help convey the sky condition): - Now most gradients are disabled by default. (toggle here: https:&#x2

You mean you prefer C over F? Tapping any temperature will toggle between the two. (This always comes up, so the app should probably default to units based on the user's location: the default is F only if the app detects you're in

Perhaps I should add an option to disable gradients. There's a screen shot showing what it used to look like before gradients: https://github.com/Leftium/weather-sense
