> "I think there should be an open-source, local-first version of every app, and I would like them all to work together. The idea of Epicenter is to store your data in a folder of plaintext and SQLite, and build a suite of interoperable, local-first tools on top of this shared memory. Everything is totally transparent, so you can trust it."

Yes! This. I have almost no experience w/ tts, but if/when I explore the space, I'll start w/ Whispering -- because of Epicenter. Starred the repo, and will give some thought to other apps that might make sense to contribute there. Bravo, thanks for publishing these and sharing, and congrats on getting into YC! :)

Thanks so much for the support! Really appreciate the feedback, and it’s great to hear the vision resonates. No worries on the STT/TTS experience; it’s just awesome to connect with someone who shares the values of open-source and owning our data :) I’m hoping my time in YC can be productive and, along the way, create more support for other OSS developers too. Keep in touch!

I think we're talking about STT (speech-to-text) here, not TTS.

IF you do want to then ALSO have a cloud version, you can just use the AgentDB API and upload them there and just change where the SQL runs.

That's a good idea... Just git repo your whole knowledge base and build on top of it.
