jorisw··on Ask HN: How do you manage focus and avoid burnout while working remotely?
Just turn off all notifications and use your comms apps in pull mode (checking them at a time of your choosing) instead.

Do the same with your phone.

People can wait. And they know it. No sensible person is expecting sync comms anymore. Those that still do, are shit out of luck.

It's easy to name examples of where authenticity matters and where it doesn't.

In case of the former, there is a problem worth solving.

How do you reach prospects if the network is mostly "uh okay can't hurt to accept this connection I guess" type relationships?

Are your prospects mostly existing business relationships?

When I see people post on LinkedIn, I stop taking them seriously. Because they’re spending time and energy well spent elsewhere, posting into a meaningless haze of obligatory connections.

Honestly I'd ditch the Dock icon and keep the menubar item. For a utility with no other UI to use, that's the way to go, and similar apps do the same.

W.r.t. the history — I'm just saying I don't want my input to be logged at all. It has no utility. It can be discarded as soon as it's pasted. I don't want to maintain a log by pressing Clear every now and then.

Strangely, on my macOS 27 Beta build 26A5388g, nothing happens after I finish speaking. No input is transcribed or pasted and nothing is shown in the history.

I do see the input being listed to — there's an audio graph animated as I speak (~US English), though it appears to be late in picking up my speech. Only my second "test?" is represented in the graph as it moves leftwards.

I went through all the permissions, they show as checked.

I also had a crash once, I've submitted the crash report.

Using the DMG from GitHub.

jorisw··on Show HN: Yap – OSS on-device voice dictation for macOS with no model to download
Couple of suggestions/remarks:

- Remove the presence of the Dock icon. Yap is the kind of app you just want as a menu bar utility. Like Whisper.

- Add a "Settings..." menu item to the main Yap menu with `Command-,` as a shortcut. This will align it with other apps.

- I couldn't enter F13 as a shortcut.

- I saw there's a transcript history of input. I kind of don't want that to be there. I believe input should be ephemeral and not logged.
