Hey HN! Braden here, creator of Whispering, an open-source speech-to-text app. I really like dictation. For years, I relied on transcription tools that were almost good, but they were all closed-source. Even a lot of them that claimed to be “local” or “on-device” were still black boxes that left me wondering where my audio really went. So I built Whispering. It’s open-source, local-first, and most importantly, transparent with your data. Your data is stored locally on your device, and your audio goes directly from your machine to a local provider (Whisper C++, Speaches, etc.) or your chosen…

Hey HN, This started as a personal curiosity and Claude helped me build it out. The Quiet Map reads 98 broadband seismometers from around the world every hour. Ground vibration in the 4–14 Hz band is usually done by human activity - traffic, trains, footsteps etc. Each station is compared against its own history at the same hour of day, and the map names the place currently furthest below its own normal: the quietest place on Earth right now. Hope you enjoy it and would love your feedback!

Hey HN! I built a browser-based decibel meter that lets you measure sound levels without installing any apps or software. The tool uses your device's microphone to measure sound from 30-130 dB, with A-weighting to match human hearing perception. It works on both desktop and mobile browsers. Key features: - No installation required - runs entirely in the browser - A-weighted measurements (standard for noise exposure) - Educational content about sound levels and hearing protection - Reference guide for common sound levels - Privacy-focused: all processing is done locally, no audio is recorded…
