I wasn't sure where to post this after I got redirected from Reddit so I hope this is the right place.
(I would genuinely love feedback as I am only one person who had a near death experience and almost left my three boys and wife way too early, and now want to leave something behind for them that is accessible long after I am gone - NONE of them are technical in any way shape or form)
I wanted to leave voice and video messages for my kids that would still open in whatever a laptop looks like in 2055. Everything that does this well today is a cloud silo waiting to forget you.
So I built one that doesn't:
- Pixel + GrapheneOS app records to plain files on the phone
- USB-pull to a laptop, on-device or server-side Whisper transcribes it
- Output is Markdown source + a static HTML site anyone can browse in any browser, forever
- Zero Play Services, no INTERNET permission for anything except the one Whisper model download you initiate yourself
(sideload if you don't want network enabled ever)
- GPL-3, Nix flake devshell, sideloadable APK
Readme has the install and the permission model: https://github.com/barrulus/storitad
Happy for feedback
(Please note that I built this entirely with Claude. I have tested it and all functions work exactly as I want. I have not been exhaustive as it is lightweight, has no inbound connections/auth/persmissions/networking etc to worry about and produces a very simple webpage browsed locally. So don't diss the LLM usage, rather advise what can be done better, constructively)
