Interesting, i have the same goal except it's for daily productivity tool github.com/slaveofcode/goodwebtools

Whilst I love opensource; hitting with $24/mo saving when you invest 100x that much in your time is probably not the way to sell it.

How does this perform on longer videos, especially on lower-end machines? Is the transcription and video processing entirely local in the browser?

4 hours and 20 commits with Cursor is wild for getting something like this off the ground. How much of that time was spent fighting with prompt context vs actually structuring the browser media APIs?

I will never understand that thinking. You didn’t like that a service you need asks to be paid, so you paid an LLM to create a free competitor that you now advertise online. Do you not see the race to the bottom you’re contributing to? $24 doesn’t sound outrageous at all.
Such a weird way to frame your project

Have you tried using this to actually edit anything? The local transcription is trash (slow, tons of repeated words, no speaker diarization, no option to upload a transcript or use ElevenLabs). I made a few edits to a sample episode I have, clicked on the upper left for a menu, it went to the front page and...I guess it lost the transcription and the edits with no way to get it back. Cool idea but it seems unusable at the moment, I'd say you have a lot more weekends of work to have something suitable for either Show HN or Product Hunt.

This is by far the least interesting/worst kind of project emerging lately.

Who cares?

Posts like these now feel the equivalent of “I didn’t want to order Indian takeaway so I hired a chef to make me butter chicken”
