Has anyone compared this with https://github.com/HeroTools/open-whispr already? From the description they seem very similar.

Handy first release was June 2025, OpenWhispr a month later. Handy has ~11k GitHub stars, OpenWhispr has ~730.


I did have tried, but the ease of installing handy as just a macOS app is so much simpler than needing to constantly run in npm commands. I think at the time when I was checking it, which was a couple of months ago they did not have the parakeet model, which is a non-whisper model, so I had decided against it. If I remember correctly, the UI was also not the smoothest.

Handy’s ui is so clean and minimalistic that you always know what to do or where to go. Yes, it lacks in some advanced features, but honestly, I’ve been using it for two months now and I’ve never looked back or searched for any other STT app.


The OP asked if someone compared both, which usually means actually trying both and not just installing one and skimming through the other's README file. So, in summary, you didn't try both and didn't answer the OP.

Naming conflict with pgx, a popular Postgres driver for Go: https://github.com/jackc/pgx

Minimum version selection happens when the go.mod file is updated, so it contains the minimum versions already.

It doesn't happen only later at build time.

For example:

- `go get x@v1.0.0` => Your go.mod contains `x v1.0.0`

- `go get y@v1.0.0` with y having x v1.0.1 as dep => Your go.mod is already updated with the resolved minimum selected version: `x v1.0.1`

This requires using Go commands to manage the go.mod file. If you edit it in a text editor then a final `go mod tidy` will help.


CyberChef runs locally as well. It even has a download link for that on the top left of the main page.

> So, advice: submit the binary you used to generate the site to source control. I know git isn't the best at binary files, but I promise you'll thank me at some point.

No need for the entire binary.

Just put `go run github.com/gohugoio/hugo@vX.Y.Z "$@"` into a `hugo.sh` script or similar that's in source control, and then run that script instead of the Hugo binary.

You'll need Go installed, but it's incredibly backwards compatible, so updating to newer Go versions is very unlikely to break running the old Hugo version.


They fixed it 6 hours ago, but it's not in a release yet: https://github.com/karol-broda/snitch/commit/7fdb1ed477894f1...


It got a boost in popularity recently when Zig announced its move from GitHub to Codeberg: https://ziglang.org/news/migrating-from-github-to-codeberg/

But other alternatives exist as well, like Sourcehut: https://sr.ht/

It doesn't mention the new model, but it's likely the same or similar.


I just checked several of the files uploaded to the news post, the "previous" and "new", both the png and webp (&fm=webp in url) versions - none had the content metadata. So either the internal version they used to generate them skipped them, or they just stripped the metadata when uploading.


There's various alternatives. For example:

- https://github.com/goccy/go-json

- https://github.com/bytedance/sonic


Gemini 3 Pro Preview also got more expensive than 2.5 Pro.

2.5 Pro: $1.25 input, $10 output (million tokens)

3 Pro Preview: $2 input, $12 output (million tokens)


Literally no difference in productivity from a free/ <0.50c output OpenRouter model. All these > $1.00+ per mm output are literal scams. No added value to the world.


5.1 Pro is great


I struggle to see where Pro is better than 5.x with Thinking. Actually prefer the latter.


Many problems where latter spins its wheel and Pro gets it in one go, for me. You need to give Pro full files as context and you need to fit within its ~60k (I forget exactly) silent context window if using via ChatGPT. Don't have it make edits directly, have it give the execution plan back to Codex
