johntopia··on Launch HN: Hyprnote (YC S25) – An open-source AI meeting notetaker

i think there are tools like cluely - where they propose to "cheat" on everything in real-time. or just wearables like waves that shows ar displays with real-time assist. (i've never used both of them before, but i understood their products like this) so proactive ai agents are somewhat becoming a thing I guess. but it all boils down to privacy for us.

mmss was something that a lot of users suggested - they wanted to be saved from public humiliation

haha we couldn't find a better icon for the "Finder" view so we just went with the classic one. but i guess it's confusing - noted.

we do have settings shortcut already! be sure to test it out :)

dark mode - noted as well.

we save our notes in db.sqlite that can be found in: ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.hyprnote.stable

this decision was made because we have three documents - raw note, enhanced note, and transcript - assigned to a meeting note.

would love to create an iA integration for you - or just a simple way to export MD for the time being

from our experience, we tried using stackflow on the frontend but encountered problems with responsive keyboard layouts. thought it was stackflow's problem but soon realized that it just wasn't implemented in tauri yet.

great to see that you like it :)

hyprnote can be used for in-person meetings as well! we have doctors like ophthalmologists or psychiatrists using it right now. and yes - definitely going to be working on speaker identification as it crucial.
johntopia··on Launch HN: Hyprnote (YC S25) – An open-source AI meeting notetaker
you can definitely do that in the future. but we had that on our mind as well from multiple requests - planning to add "eli5 - explain like i'm five" and "mmss - make me sound smart" ;) (edit: grammar fix)

yes, we’re rolling out flexible consent options based on legal needs - like chat messages, silent bots, blinking backgrounds, or consent links before/during meetings. but still figuring out if there's a more elegant way to do this. would love to hear your take as well.
johntopia··on Launch HN: Hyprnote (YC S25) – An open-source AI meeting notetaker
thanks! we're focusing on local-first at the moment which makes real-time assist a bit challenging. but we definitely have something similar on our mind - for example, a live summary of what's been going on during the past 5 mins. planning to support this via extension in the future!

johntopia··on Show HN: I made a free tool that analyzes SEC filings and posts detailed reports
Great work you’ve done here. I worked on a similar project for about a year but ended up dropping it because it wasn’t fun for me. Mine failed — I hope yours succeeds. Best of luck!

Nivo seems really nice. I recall that fey.com used it for their charts.

How did you manage to keep the size so small :O
johntopia··on Phone maker Nothing: staff back into the office 5 days/week or quit
Completely disagree. There have been plenty of orgs achieving things looking somewhat impossible, and they're called startups.
johntopia··on Can GPT optimize my taxes? An experiment in letting the LLM be the UX
nice work. now try to implement custom agent architecture and it will perform 10 times faster, 10 times better, 10 times cheaper.
johntopia··on Could AI Outshine Us in Ethical Decision-Making?
I highly doubt that we will delegate our most essential part as humans to manchines in the near future, and that is making tough decisions.

Though, one could argue that many micro tasks, such as selecting a word for writing business mails, have been successfully taken care of by ChatGPT or other services. But what really hasn't changed is the threshold of fully accepting these machine generated contents. There is still a human behind the desk that makes a tough decision to whether or not to press the send button or trigger a nuclear football.

However, I do admit that mails and nuclear weapons are not on the same scale. Over time, passes by these "tough" decisions that need to be made will be conquered bottom-up.

johntopia··on Take back control of your time
I developed the "Year Progress App," inspired by the idea that a week is 2% of a year, to make time more tangible using relative scales. Disappointed by the high costs and limited benefits of existing apps, I opted to create a free alternative that aids in effective time management. I chose not to charge for the app to avoid the hassle and to freely contribute to improving productivity. I've open-sourced the app, believing in the community's ability to enhance and expand it. The positive feedback on LinkedIn affirmed my belief in the app's potential and value.

Well, you certainly grabbed my attention. Gj with the aggro lol
johntopia··on Show HN: Microagents: Agents capable of self-editing their prompts / Python code
I made a system that dynamically generates agents. This looks similar, so I will take a look into it! Great work :)
johntopia··on Korean as a Concatenative, Stack-Oriented Language (2017)
Another Korean here. Usually in Korea, one could refer to an unknown someone as "선생님(teacher)". "각하", on the other hand, has been referred to the President of Korea. So it really sounds weird to a Korean. When someone calls you "각하". If I were to be a customer, then I would be called "고객님". Where "고객" means customer and "님" is like "sama" in Japanese, and "sir" in English.

Cool, I should try out Dr.Strange's portal.
johntopia··on Ask HN: What jobs will be big in the future that don't exist yet?
I bet as long as humans exist, safety-critical industries will not let go of human managers. That's a job that will not perish.
