    Hi everyone, I’m a solo developer and I’ve been working on a small tool called Echosnap AI. I built it because I often get ideas while I’m walking or doing something else, and speaking always felt like the fastest way to capture them. Echosnap lets you record a note and instantly get a clean transcript. It can also translate your recordings and help you stay organized with tags and folders. I tried to keep the app as simple and minimal as possible. This is my first time sharing something on HN, so any feedback or suggestions would mean a lot. Thanks for taking a moment to check it out.

    Hi everyone - My cofounder, Reuben, and I have been working on Echo, a voice & text, mobile-first, note-taking app that uses GPT-4o to organize your thoughts and bring them to life.

    After 6 months of development, I'm launching Echo Notes, a tool that transforms audio recordings into organized notes with automatically extracted action items. The problem I was solving for myself was losing important details in meetings. I'd find myself frantically typing notes while trying to stay present in conversations, ultimately doing both poorly. Technical implementation: - Built with Next.js and DaisyUI for the frontend - Custom audio visualization using Canvas API with real-time frequency analysis - Backend transcription pipeline using OpenAI's Whisper API - Post-processing with a…
