As a freelancer I regularly got 5-figure checks without any hassle, it was the $600, $700, $800 checks that I had to fight people about.

Whisper runs fine locally. So why are Willow ($144/year), Wisprflow ($120/year), and SuperWhisper ($120/year) all subscriptions?

I got frustrated paying monthly for something that could run on my Mac, so I built Lucid Voice:

- 100% offline (Nvidia Parakeet + Llama)

- $20 one-time (mainly to cover Apple's notarization costs)

- Runs on surprisingly low-end hardware (M1 base models work fine)

- No cloud, no data collection

Open to feedback on anything - pricing, the tech stack, or if this should just be free: https://lucidvoice.app

Illegal in India?

Personally, I am and always was very put off by Wallabag's design. It seems permanently stuck in the 2010s default Bootstrap era.

There was and technically still is Omnivore (https://github.com/omnivore-app/omnivore), but it got aquired by ElevenLabs last year and the official instance got shut down. Shiori (https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori) also comes to mind, but I think that's about it.

As for closed source solutions, I'd say Readwise Reader (https://readwise.io/read) actually innovated a little bit for the first time in over a decade by catering to power users, but I didn't use it often enough to justify a perpetual $10/month subscription (no free tier what so ever).

Nowadays I just use Obsidian's web clipper.

Monetization. If people aren’t willing to pay for the products, these companies have figured out how to make the customers’ data the product.
