No to jak już ładnie zintegrowałem Whispera to teraz czas na testy z Parakeet 😅

Ciekawe jak się będzie zachowywał.

I prefer CoPilot, but to be honest my flow is rather complex. I use a lot of Gemini CLI. It is free but it is not the most important reason why I'm using it.

The wild part? The app is basically done.

Side Prompter v0.1 is so close, yet so far. Coming soon, assuming I ever escape this configuration vortex!

My brain has been rewired. It's now 90% build flags and 10% the faint scream of my laptop's fan.

I have learned that 'universal binary' is another way of saying 'universal pain'.

Current status: The 'This is Fine' meme, but the room is on fire with terminal logs.

I wanted to support both Intel & Apple Silicon. My Mac, in return, decided it would rather teach me a lesson about humility.

The breakthrough came from a random AI suggestion: AudioTee, a small CLI tool.
The solution: A "Sidecar" pattern! 🚗
Instead of complex native code, my app can just run this simple, focused CLI tool to handle the platform-specific audio magic.

The core problem was still there. The tech stack wasn't the issue; it was my entire approach to macOS audio.

So I jumped back to the safety of .NET. But my journey of mistakes wasn't over! I burned a few hours on the wrong UI framework (.NET #MAUI) before finally listening to community advice and switching to Avalonia. 🤦

My first mistake: starting on Windows. WASAPI made audio capture seem easy. I assumed macOS would be similar. I was wrong.
AI chats kept leading to BlackHole (bad UX) or just mic input. I was stuck in a loop of frustration, trying to get it working in Rust.
