Rebabble captures short sounds that happen before you fumble with a manual recorder.

I built it as a new dad because the best moments are fleeting - I wanted to capture them instantly, without waiting around for them to happen, or fiddling before the moment is over. One of the features I wanted to build into this was the instant echo - so my baby hears herself being echoed back to her. She's super curious and it makes her want to coo more.

It’s been just as magical in the garden too - I’ve been recording birds and getting surprising engagement from the neighbourhood wildlife.

How it works: (1) Tap once to start listening mode, (2) It detects sound and records a clean snippet, (3) It plays the snippet back instantly

Target users: (1) Parents capturing first words, coos, and giggles, (2) Birders/nature folks recording calls hands-free

Technical/product notes: (1) Offline-first and privacy-first (on-device storage), (2) Adjustable sensitivity, silence cutoff, min/max duration, (3) Search, favorites, loop playback

Would appreciate feedback on: (1) Detection quality across noisy environments, (2) UI flow for quick capture and review, (3) Missing features for power users

Re:Two Player Wordle on Monday June 13, 2022 @04:24AM (#31722698)
Same word on two phones? I guess that's the same idea but as a collaboration. Unfortunately, this is a competitive game. Which often leads NOT to bonding. My partner gets awfully upset with me when I win...

Two Player Wordle

On the Wordle bandwagon...I've created a two player Wordle - called Word Fight (https://www.wordfight.me). Where you play others to guess the five letter word in less turns.As one of the many Wordle obsessed, I play it daily with my partner. While we had our morning coffee a few months ago, competing with each other to see who could guess it in the least number of turns, I came up with this...
