Show HN: Voice-to-Text in a Browser Tab
I wanted something really simple: click record, speak, get text.I tried a bunch of existing tools (SuperWhisper, Aqua Voice, Wisprflow, etc.). They’re solid products, but the setup friction killed it for me. By the time everything was ready, the thought I wanted to capture was gone.So I built a simpler version that runs entirely in a browser tab.No install, no signup, no setup. Just works if...
You can also add Google’s AntiGravity into the bunch. They have free allowances of Claude and Gemini 3.1 Pro there ready right after install & login. & you can also get cheap Google AI Pro shared plans there as well, just to get higher allowance on all these models.
There are many ways to get around the session limit, gotta be creative. Update: Windsurf has just made a shitty move by changing their pricing structure from credits to rolling window percentages, not sure if it's better or worse, free models are still there & I haven't hit any rate limit so far.
opencode go - $10 a month gets you decent allowance with latest GLM, MiniMax, and Kimi. Windsurf - $20 gives u access to nearlly all models.
For me, I'm having these two subscriptions plus: shared Codex plans & shared Kimi coding Allegretto from Chinese resellers for around $10.
I only use the Claude Opus/Sonnet inside Windsurf after everything is crystal clear, or I want to let it handle tricky stuff where other models can't address. I use GLM/Kimi for everything else. And Windsurf offers free models all the time.
Show HN: AI Mode API – Turn Big G's AI Mode into an API
I wanted to query Google's AI Mode programmatically, and there's no official API. So I built a browser extension that gives you a private API endpoint tied to your browser.Install the extension → it connects to a relay server → you get a unique, private endpoint. Send POST requests from your scripts/terminal. Your browser receives the query, the extension fires up AI Mode, executes the query,...
Don't subscribe to Claude or GPT-4 or Gemini. Instead, go get something like Perplexity or similar tools so that you can have access to all these latest premium AIs (300~600 queries/day) If you're comfortable with copy-pasting back and forth, this one thing meets all your needs.
And on the IDE side, subscribe to only one IDE, And even with IDEs, you can cut down costs, like going for qoder(just came out, free 2 week trial) or Trae (3 bucks a month, you can get that deal ). As for Claude Code, swap in qwen or DeepSeek apis. They're compatible with Claude Code and works ootd.
Show HN: Startup Ideas Vault – 1500 app/site ideas from Google Autocompletions
https://www.qequals.com/startup-ideas-vault/
I built a tool that systematically pulls Google autocomplete suggestions for "an app to/for/that" across the entire alphabet and surfaces 500+ real app ideas that people are actually searching for.Unlike brainstormed lists or AI-generated ideas, these come directly from Google's autocomplete data – meaning real people typed these phrases when looking for solutions. Stuff like "an app to find...
