Been using Handy I am pretty happy but good to see more options, specially OSS.

handy is bloat and really bad dx in general.

this product is just 14mb binary.

  • I understand you made BetterWhispr and Handy would be a competitor, but if you're going to dunk on them it would be good to add some real detail and reasoning. It's okay if you just didn't get on with it, but this is HN where we want to hear about design decisions, trade-offs, and the motivation for building this over using one of the many alternatives.

    I've not used either and I'm sure they're both great, but just saying an alternative is bad isn't particularly useful to anyone here.
