@ZuTeilen @jordibruin Hi, another dev of MacWhisper here, I'm just curious if you're running Sonoma or Sequoia? Would love to fix this issue! Thanks

MacWhisper 10.4 is out now with support for running local AI models through @LMStudioAI, as well as xAI support and a bunch of improvements all around.

I didn't write this tweet; I just said it out loud and had MacWhisper transcribe it for me. I'm using a shortcut called Caps Lock + R. Whenever I press it, a little blue pop-up appears, which means I can start speaking. When I press Caps Lock + R again, it stops recording, transcribes it, and also cleans up the text, fixing any hesitations or weird sentence structures automatically.

Yesterday I joined a lunch at the Developer Center in Cupertino with around 20 other people from the Apple community.

We discussed what we think can be improved about WWDC with the Developer Relations leadership team. We discussed these topics in smaller groups and then did a very honest Q&A where there was also space for things that can be improved.

Some key points that came up:

- How Labs can be improved
- The upsides and downsides between physical and virtual ones
- How to make it easier for people to engage with (the right) engineers during WWDC
- Ways in which the developer forums can be used
- How you can now post TSIs directly to the forums so they are publicly visible (if you have questions about your code you can always switch to private email ofcourse)
- The need for a developer homebase/hub/lightning rod for us all to congregate during the rest of the WWDC week so that we don't scatter to different places.

I'm curious to hear from other people who attended this year what they think can be improved for next year's edition!

@sidneydekoning @SwiftIslandNL Haha, what would be on it? Helicopter goggles, seal snacks, Vision Pro..? 🦭

For those headed to WWDC, there's an app to help you remember everything you meant to pack.. 🎒 give Packs a try https://t.co/DXp1QKN4Tw

macOS virtual machine allows to install macOS AND USE ICLOUD

That is 99% what you need to have viable macOS simulator.

@yuniancong @jordibruin Hi @yuniancong, (another MacWhisper dev here) - please would you mind DMing the video file to me? I'll take a look into it.

@vernons That’s a good one, will add in next release! And good idea, will add a link to a GitHub repo for feedback. Thanks!

[Ian @id]

Hurray, I shipped!

Introducing Packs, an app for keeping track of packing lists and for packing for your next trip.

Packing is easier when you have a plan!

(v1.0, would love some feedback!🎒)

@nvh That is a cool idea. Will let it percolate ���

[Ian @id]

@nvh ha that's awesome! Didn't even know OmniFocus plugins were a thing. Now i'm tempted to buy it to try out your plugin 🤓

[Hidde van der Ploeg @hiddevdploeg]
