   Excellent for tracking hours

   A nice simple interface and plenty of rich features really make this application essential.

   One of the best Time Tracking App I have ever used.

   Has a lot of features when compared to it's competitors out there.

• Mycroft – open-source voice assistant

  The key feature I haven't seen any of these opensource projects implement is microphone response coordination: If you have multiple microphones and speakers, which one responds? My google home's are terrible at this: often one in another room responds, but at least it's only one. When I tried to run Genie (https://genie.stanford.edu/) I had multiple devices responding simultaneously. It was a disaster. For me,... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: I record myself on audio 24x7 and use an AI to process the information

  It's incredibly easy to do (caveat - at least if you're familiar with software dev already). Most thermostats are literally just digital thermometers that control a relay that turns the furnace/ac on and off. A simple arduino (or much cheaper IC) can easily do the same thing if you wire it in. And then on the software side... there's several large, open-source projects that exist in this space and provide nice api... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• What's the biggest missing piece of the puzzle in the self-hosted universe?

  Because there's surely enough software available, right (i.e. susi.ai, Mycroft, Kalliope, DeepSpeech, leon, Jasper, Vosk or Genie)? Source: about 2 years ago

• Thanks I Hate Google And Alexa

  On the home assistants, it’s actually a cool solution. What they do is actually use a local ML algorithm to recognize the alert word (hey Google, Alexa, etc.) and only when they hear it do they stream the audio to their inference servers. There are things like almond which is entirely self hosted option I’d like to move to eventually. Source: about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What is the Duck Duck Go of smart speakers?

  I think a key feature of a smart speaker is the voice assistant. The only privacy aware I know of is Almond (AKA Genie) from Stanford[1]. I don't think there is any commercial speaker using Almond out there. However, Im betting you could DIY it. [1] https://genie.stanford.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• What do you guys for invoicing outside Upwork?

  I use getharvest.com to track hourly and convert them to invoice. The only thing I don't like is that I have to add the task in the web dashboard rather than entering directly in the desktop app. There is 'note' field, but it won't show up in the invoice detail, so it is useless for me.

• Need help learning, can anyone suggest search terms so I can wrap my head around what I would like to do? Thanks

  I think for your business the best way to go is with a premade app for time logs and invoicing. My wife uses Harvest for her business: https://getharvest.com. Source: about 1 year ago

• New to graphic freelancing, how to take payments/send invoice?

  I use Harvestto invoice and track time. You can also use QuickBooks. Source: about 1 year ago
