Show HN: Hyprvoice – Voice-Powered Typing for Wayland/Hyprland (No X11 Hacks)
Show HN (score: 5)Description
It’s written in Go, uses PipeWire for audio, and talks directly to the compositor. The workflow is simple:
press key → start recording
press again → stop and inject text
Notifications show recording/transcribing states, and it works with multiple backends — currently OpenAI Whisper, with whisper.cpp (local/offline) in progress.
Everything runs through a lightweight daemon with IPC over a unix socket. Text injection uses wl-clipboard + wtype with clipboard restore fallback.
Install (Arch/AUR):
yay -S hyprvoice-bin systemctl --user enable --now hyprvoice.service
Then add something like this to Hyprland:
bind = SUPER, R, exec, hyprvoice toggle

It’s beta but fully usable. I’d love feedback, especially from people running Wayland full-time or maintaining compositors.

Show HN: A terminal spreadsheet editor with Vim keybindings While speccing out this spreadsheet tool, I realized that I never had to think about the keybindings. It all just came naturally from Vim. Normal/insert/visual modes, hjkl navigation, dd/yy/p, :w, :q. The usual muscle memory works.<p>It supports CSV/TSV import and export, and a native .cell format that preserves formulas. The formula engine handles SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, MIN, MAX, and IF with range references.<p>The codebase is a Cargo workspace: a pure cell-sheet-core library (no TUI dependency) and a cell-sheet-tui crate on top of ratatui. Early days, but it's usable.<p>To try it out: cargo install cell-sheet-tui<p>Feedback of any kind is greatly appreciated!
