Transforming code into food and shelter since 2012
pingmebud is the equivalent to having @-mentions but in voice calls. Imagine a standup meeting at work where someone says "what do you think about this, John?" and you were not paying attention and have no idea about what the context of the conversation is. My app solves that.
Been working on a solution to my meeting fatigue. I sit in way too many of them where I'm only there "just in case someone has a question" and realized I needed a way to safely not care about my meetings.
The idea is: you join a meeting, hit start on the app, minimize, and go do actual work (or go make a coffee). When someone says your name or any keyword(s) you set, you get a native macOS notification with enough context to jump back in without looking lost. It uses whisper and is 100% local and doesnt leave traces, also very OE friendly.
Would love to hear what you think, especially if you're drowning in meetings too.
Really nice game OP. Would you consider making a version of the game with no timer?
I was thinking in sending this link to my family but probably the timer is really fast for them but I think they could used your app as "training" so they know how to spot a dark pattern in the future
Congrats on the launch! I find the name really nice and i think it has lot of potential for marketability.
Is the goal to have your website/blog only for friends or also for strangers? If its the second I think it would be nice to display "Random site of the day", "Most visited post of the month" and "Most visited page of the month".
This because i think there is people like me who dont write much but likes to read other peoples blogs and would be great for discovery
