Show HN: TalkiTo – enabling voice and Slack for Claude Code and Codex CLI
Show HN (score: 5)Description
One thing about the new terminal coding agents I really like is being able to multi-task but right now it's a bit like a Tesla on autopilot needing your hands still on the wheel. You need to be checking often if your input is required or if it's going off the rails. To be able to go fully hands free I wanted to add TTS and ASR. Then I added slack and WhatsApp hooks to TalkiTo as well.
It's fully open source with a BYOK philosophy and it's configured to work with any of the major ASR/TTS providers. It also supports local whisper and kokoro/kittentts if you want a decent free/private option.
It works by wrapping the coding agent and capturing the input/output. It does have an MCP server running but thats mainly for configuration - I found that using MCP to speak or listen was too slow. The upshot of the MCP server is you can type (or say) "talkito disable ASR" or "talkito change tts to kokoro".
Here is a demo video I made here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf8jFt0smqs
I like to think of it as similar to SuperWhisper but with TTS, the focus on coding agents and configurability.
Really curious to get feedback.
Thanks!

Show HN: Zephyr3D – TypeScript WebGPU/WebGL 3D engine with an in‑browser editor
Show HN: Zephyr3D – TypeScript WebGPU/WebGL 3D engine with an in‑browser editor Hi HN,<p>I’ve been working on Zephyr3D, an open-source 3D rendering engine for the modern web, plus a visual editor that runs entirely in the browser.<p>- Written in TypeScript - Supports WebGL/WebGL2/WebGPU - Comes with a visual editor that runs in the browser (no installation required)<p>With the recent updates, a few things might be interesting to people here:<p>Engine & rendering ------------------<p>- WebGL/WebGPU abstraction with a TypeScript API - PBR rendering - Cluster lighting & Shadow Maps - Clipmap-based terrain for large landscapes - Sky Atmosphere & Height-based fog - FFT water system - Temporal anti-aliasing (TAA) - Screen-space motion blur<p>The goal is to make it possible to build reasonably complex 3D experiences that run directly in the browser, without native dependencies.<p>In-browser editor -----------------<p>The editor is a web app built on top of the engine and runs completely in the browser. It currently supports:<p>- Project management - Scene editing - Node-based material blueprints - Animation editing - Script binding and a scheduling system - Prefabs for reusing entities across scenes - Preview and one-click publishing to the web<p>All project data is handled via a virtual file system (VFS) that can plug into different backends (in-memory, IndexedDB, HTTP, ZIP, DataTransfer, etc.), so saving/loading works entirely on the client side.<p>Links -----<p>Homepage: <a href="https://zephyr3d.org" rel="nofollow">https://zephyr3d.org</a> Editor (runs in the browser): <a href="https://zephyr3d.org/editor/" rel="nofollow">https://zephyr3d.org/editor/</a> GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/gavinyork/zephyr3d" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/gavinyork/zephyr3d</a><p>I'd love feedback on:<p>- How the in-browser editor workflow feels (performance, UX, what’s missing) - Whether the VFS approach for project data makes sense for real projects - Any red flags you see in the engine architecture or WebGPU/WebGL abstraction - What would be deal-breakers or must-have features for using this in games, data viz, or other interactive web experiences<p>I’ll be around to answer questions and can go into more detail about the rendering pipeline, the editor internals, or anything else you’re curious about.
Show HN: Parm – Install GitHub releases just like your favorite package manager
Show HN: Parm – Install GitHub releases just like your favorite package manager Hi all, I built a CLI tool that allows you to seamlessly install software from GitHub release assets, similar to how your system's package manager installs software.<p>It works by exploiting common patterns among GitHub releases across different open-source software such as naming conventions and file layouts to fetch proper release assets for your system and then downloading the proper asset onto your machine via the GitHub API. Parm will then extract the files, find the proper binaries, and then add them to your PATH. Parm can also check for updates and uninstall software, and otherwise manages the entire lifecycle of all software installed by Parm.<p>Parm is not meant to replace your system's package manager. It is instead meant as an alternative method to install prebuilt software off of GitHub in a more centralized and simpler way.<p>It's currently in a pre-release stage, and there's a lot of features I want to add. I'm currently working (very slowly) on some new features, so if this sounds interesting to you, check it out! It's completely free and open-source and is currently released for Linux/macOS. I would appreciate any feedback.<p>Link: <a href="https://github.com/yhoundz/parm" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/yhoundz/parm</a>
