What it does
Serenade is the fastest way to write code with natural speech. Rather than memorizing keyboard shortcuts and language syntax, Serenade enables you to write code with commands like "create function" and "delete argument".
Serenade is the most powerful way to program using natural speech. Boost your productivity by adding voice to your workflow.
With Serenade, you can write code using natural speech. Serenade's speech-to-code engine is designed for developers from the ground up and fully open-source. Give your hands a break without missing a beat. Whether you have an injury or you're looking to prevent one, Serenade can help you be just as productive without typing at all. Serenade can run in the cloud, to minimize impact on your system's resources, or completely locally, so all of your voice commands and source code stay on-device. It's up to you, and everything is open-source. Serenade integrates with your existing tools—from writing code with VS Code to messaging with Slack—so you don't have to learn an entirely new workflow.…from serenade.ai

Talanoa▲343Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Almost eight years ago I launched an online “Linux sysadmin course for newbies” here at HN. It was a side-project that went well, but never generated enough money to allow me to fully commit to leaving the Day Job.

Instead, I rejigged/relaunched it via a Reddit forum this February as free and open - and have now gathered a team of helpers to ensure that it keeps going each month even after I can’t…
