AI was supposed to save us time. Instead, we're typing more than ever

Moinul Moin — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 11:34:15 +0000

Last month, I was deep in experimentation mode. Testing ideas on every AI tool to see which was good.

Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, v0, Bolt, Lovable, Warp, Trae and what not.

Depending on the problem and solution type. Doesn't matter which one - you have to type a LOT to prompt and build/prototype your idea. That's where vibe coding gets harder.

(I'll tell you which ones I stuck with at the end)

I do typing and prompting all the day like 10-12 hours.

The Breaking Point

I was testing another idea, typing another prompt, and thought:

"Oh man, I'm not gonna do this anymore."

What if I could just... speak?

Looked around. Most dictation products people say are "so good"? All subscription-based ($15-30/month).

Which is fine for them. But I wanted something simpler with essential features, and even better if it's private like transcription processing on my device. And please, not another subscription.

One Month. Zero Experience. Working Product.

Never built a desktop app before. Unless "Hello World" counts.

Started with Electron - so bloated. Moved to Tauri v2. Was concerned because its new and still growing and LLMs can't help much here.

But here we are. Its working very well and available on macOS and Windows. Turns out people are actually looking for.

What VoiceTypr Actually Is:

Transcription runs locally (nobody can misuse your voice)
Works in every text field
$19 once, lifetime deal (limited launch offer right now)

wait, we are open source too

The New Reality

Morning coffee: Voice-prompting instead of typing

All day: Speaking my ideas into existence

Late night: Still have energy

Best part? I can prompt while having coffee Or snacks. Haha

It does perfectly what I wanted - a simple voice dictation that would just works and not another subscription.

In this AI era, it's become a must-have tool. Especially if you're experimenting with AI all day. We're living in text boxes. Every tool is chat based. But we're still typing everything.

The Irony Nobody Talks About

AI was supposed to reduce our workload. Instead, we just moved from typing code to typing instructions about code. From debugging to describing bugs. From writing functions to writing prompts about functions.

Vibe coding shouldn't hurt this much.

Your voice is 3x faster. Your wrists and fingers deserve better.

Oh, and Those Tools I Stuck With?

After all that testing:

Windsurf for code editor, tab completetion, access other models to use sometimes. Cursor sucks for the pricing and rate limits, was a cursor fanboy btw.
Claude Code (max) My go to copilot.
Perplexity for research
v0 for some UI/UX ideas/inspirations
Lovable for cool landing page designs

Everything else was just fine, but these are my daily drivers. All powered by my voice now.

Built for vibe coders, busy founders and AI power users.

I would highly suggest you to try it and share your feedback. My X DM is always open for you and you also can follow me there, I post about AI tools and tips.

What's your AI tool count these days? And be honest - how are your wrists? 👇

🚀 I Built CutClip: Instantly Cut Viral Clips from YouTube Videos on macOS

Moinul Moin — Fri, 27 Jun 2025 04:16:15 +0000

Hey devs! Ever wanted to snip a perfect moment from a YouTube video without firing up a heavyweight video editor, only to rage-quit five minutes later? Same. So I built CutClip ↗ – a native macOS app that gets you from YouTube link to shareable clip in seconds.

Why?

Because I was tired of clunky workflows, online converters, and editors that ask for your life story just to trim 30 seconds of video. CutClip is all about speed, privacy, and simplicity:
• Zero setup: Download, install, start clipping.
• Lightning fast: Native Mac performance. No lag, no drama.
• Completely private: Everything happens on your machine. Your videos, your business.

How It Works

Paste a YouTube link.
Set your start and end times.
Hit Download. That’s it.

No subscriptions. No watermarks. No nonsense.

Free & Pro
• Free: 3 clips, all features, full quality exports.
• Pro: $4.99 one-time for unlimited clips, future updates, and priority support.

Open Source

Yep, it’s open source! Check out the code or contribute: GitHub repo ↗

Use VSCode editor in your browser.

Who wants to use VSCode editor in your web browser? yes, in the web browser!😉

Back in 2019, when the .dev top-level domain opened, we picked up vscode.dev. They didn't what to do with it. But now in 2021, they have brought a lightweight web version of vscode editor which you can use as you use the desktop version. But currently, It's under development, a lot of features will be added day by day.
