Now that I’ve got the Chronicle program on GitHub ready for testing, I’m kind of at a loss as to how to get exposure for it.
The thing that makes me nervous above all is that even if I found a place where I could sort of put it out there, if people found out it was vibe coded, they might just tell me to fuck off.
It's one of those really divisive things and I kind of see it from both sides but it's a complication that I don't want to have to deal with.
I basically just want as many people to test and tell me what they think of it.
Donations would be an absolute fucking bonus!
I'm just kind of at a bit of a loss.
This is the link to it for what it's worth.

@TheVoiceGuy Also, if wherever you announce it doesn't like vibe coding, why should you care? If it works, it works, and what people say is of no importance.

@techsinger I haven’t actually thought about any podcasts as yet.
I only put this full graphical interface version on GitHub about 48 hours ago.
If people wanted to know about it and wanted to talk to me, I would love it.

@TheVoiceGuy Sorry, just to be clear, top tech tidbits is not a podcast, it's a text newsletter. I don't do podcasts myself but don't see why raising it with some of the blindness ones might not be of use. Also, I assume you've posted it on applevis?

@techsinger Thanks for that suggestion! I haven’t done so yet.
I'm just trying to make sure that the original release gets off the ground and that there are no problems with the repository.
Are things on GitHub allowed on Apple this?

@TheVoiceGuy I don't see why it wouldn't https://www.applevis.com/forum/macos-mac-apps/vocr-2-alpha has a direct link to GH and nobody mentioned it as being problematic.
VOCR 2 alpha | AppleVis

I noticed that VOCR 2 has an alpha out: https://github.com/chigkim/VOCR/releases/tag/v2.0.0-alpha.10 It has a lot of new features. For starters, you can now change the keyboard shortcuts, which should be handy. I've always struggled with Cmd+Option+Shift+W. And, somewhat inevitably, it now has some AI built into it. To use ChatGPT you must supply your own API Key, or if you have the stomach for it you can set up a local chatbot.
