You can absolutely do high quality, low latency, even multilingual local streaming nowadays. As the commenter above says, Nemotron 3.5 Streaming is awesome. We make heavy use of it in our transcription app.

Show HN: On-device meeting transcription for your Mac

from the show-hn dept.

Hi HN!Like a lot of people, I love Granola and use it every day. The onboarding experience, the numerous delighters, the flourishes and the way it just works are all testament to the quality bar you can clear with an Electron app given enough care and expertise. It was the first app I'd ever used which recorded system audio on Mac without recording video too, which sparked a year-long obsession...

Possibly of additional interest is a writeup of the tech stack powering faavorite.com which somebody submitted a couple of weeks ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3802872 :)

None at all actually, that's just a mahoosive oversight on my part. I've been working on lots of server side caching and server optimisation (e.g. mod_pagespeed) and committed the cardinal sin of ignoring the basics. Thanks for pointing it out - one for the issue tracker.

I'd hope a bit of gentle education surrounding the pros (i.e. very few, just a slightly slicker effect) Vs the cons (i.e all those you outlined) would make most clients see that it's not worth the effort, in this instance at least. But yeah - I take your point :)

Hey - I have pondered using less / sass / etc but so far haven't yet had much need (though the repetition required by the theming is perhaps a strong case to start considering it). To be honest, the vast majority of the site's CSS is contained in Twitter's bootstrap framework anyway so up until this point it's not something I'd worried much about :)

Those unofficial watch / follow buttons are awesome! I'll definitely find a way to integrate one or both of them into articles which relate to Github repos. Cheers! :)

I guess on a site all about links I really should have figured that one out!

Main github repo: https://github.com/makeusabrew/bootbox

Issues list / feature requests: https://github.com/makeusabrew/bootbox/issues

And a bit of a rubbish demo: http://makeusabrew.github.com/bootbox/demo/

Cheers!

Hi all - thanks for all the comments, great to see this article made it to Hacker News! Glad some more people are finding a use for the library. Feel free to get involved with the project on Github - not sure of HN etiquette so won't post the link but it's available via the article.

Cheers!

Nick
