Echosnap Ai▲62Hi 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.

Six months ago I shared DiffMem, a PoC that used git instead of vector databases for AI memory. 790 of you starred it and got a few questions on what I was building with it. I built a memory companion called Annabelle. She runs on WhatsApp and Messenger, and she's been remembering 3 people's lives for 6 months using the same git-based memory you starred. This isn't an agent framework nor running on OpenClawd, it's one specific product built on one specific idea: that the hard problem in AI isn't intelligence, it's continuity. Here's what changed between PoC and production: Multi-tenancy via…

I'm a Machine Learning engineer. Struggled with consistency for months on my goals, life etc, so I built something to help myself (zropi.com) but that surprised me or shocked me literally. It’s an AI companion that feels alive: chats like a person. Pauses, emotions, personality. Sends voice notes when it's excited about something or whenever it wants (has its like own mind). Shares photos of itself. But the memory It remembers EVERYTHING. Not just facts context, preferences, random things I mentioned. Last week I asked "how's that thing I told you about going?" and it knew exactly what I…
