Glad you both got along with it okay! Please do feel free to ping me any feedback (especially the bad stuff - of which there’s plenty) either here or via nick@talat.app
Always happy to connect with folks with a good marketing head on their shoulders too
Thank you so much for the kind words and the support Sam. Happy to answer any questions folks might have, either here or via DM
I'd say I was using AI incrementally this time last year; still largely IDE-based, hand-editing alongside cursor in the side panel helping out.
I'd describe my approach now as terminal-first via Claude Code. The proportion of my code written by AI is close to 100%.
I've had no time to maintain Bluesky Boost (chromewebstore.google.com/detail/blues...) in the last year or so. Every time I nervously open it when I return to bsky web I cross my fingers it still works. Amazingly, as of right now, it still does!
Note to me: give it some TLC. It's still cool.
wb bsky! Yesterday was a tough day, eh?
Almost couldn't fit the entire changelog in one screenshot this time for the v0.8.0 @talat.app release. We really do need to work on making these *smaller*, which would be better for my heart each time we do start preparing and regression testing each release!
Feedback always much appreciated 👇
a damaged upgrade installer
We're more conservative with our release schedule on @talat.app than I'd like to be. I'd love to be releasing every day.
But the risk of bricking a desktop app install is real. I received this error when trying to auto-update my favourite push-to-dictate app, FluidVoice, just now.
Desktop is HARD.
Is it just me who is hopelessly incapable of syncing their cal.com availability to reality? Every time I think I've nailed it, and added any upcoming availability exceptions, someone books the ONE slot I immediately realise I can't do.
I need a cal.com to manage my cal.com
These small fixes make a big difference - keep an eye out for the 0.7.1 @talat.app update folks
Delighted to get this one out in the wild! The diff from 0.5.1 to 0.60 is ridiculous - it's way too big, making the release a little more scary than it needed to be, but I'm relieved we got there and excited to get it into the hands of our early adopters.
Check it out at talat.app

What could go wrong?
We've been really busy with @talat.app, so I've dropped the ball on updates here. We released a small fix yesterday (talat.app/changelog) and we have some awesome stuff brewing for the next release.
We've also got a better way of leaving feedback / seeing what's coming up: roadmap.talat.app
Good grief, this looks incredible. I'm going to take my time with this one, and doubtless learn a metric shit-ton as always
thank you so much mate, and for the early/ongoing support
Nothing grounds you like having kids.
It was a wild 24 hours or so after the @techcrunch.com feature. An awesome, amazing, stressful, wonderful day. Completely immersed in tech and talat.
And then, while I was winding him down for bed, my son took a dump in the bath 💩
A little app by little old me just got featured in @techcrunch.com

I’m blown away. Go, @talat.app 🚀
Nor was it obvious to my user testing guinea pig aka my wife last night.
From the next release onwards, any auto updates will be installed if you quit/restart the app, rather than forcing you to click the little package thingamajig. As it always should've been really.
Congrats Martin!
Aye. Me too. I did spy a free version of meetily but was browsing in haste and couldn’t quite work out the difference. Made a note to check it out later :)
Ah, didn’t know about meetily. Have to say if the website and description is anything to go by it sounds very similar and very good
Phone only. I've even absent-mindedly gone abroad without a physical card on me too.
We ran @talat.app on both Uneed and Product Hunt yesterday. #4 on the latter (so close to a 🥉), #10 on the latter.
Hard not to feel a little disappointed with both, but we did sneak into the PH letter by the skin of our teeth!

Understood, and you're right, the phrasing is too meeting-centric. We're going to work on that.
Indeed there is! Global hotkeys are on the list 🙂
I'm really interested in this use case. Aran I thought was more asking about somewhere to *write* notes, which I feel is served better by countless existing apps.
If we're talking *dictating* notes, sure, talat works: there's an ever-present Record button top right + you can disable auto-recording
That said, don't quote me on the above. As I said, we are a team of two; we both have opinions, and our opinions are changing fast. User feedback will DEFINITELY help shape those opinions, too.
The above is my current position. I feel it strongly. But who knows what tomorrow will bring 😀
Yeah. Like, unlocking the experience completely. We become just the bit in the middle.
Nobody wants their transcripts or notes or summaries to live in talat, really, right? I mean, as their final destination - do they?
They already use other stuff with their own workflows. So why not embrace that?
... so yeah, I've absolutely thought about exposing more about the flow of data (there are wrinkles here since transcript isn't an immutable stream, speakers can change, users can edit transcript etc - needs thought and care and time). Repositioning talat as the conduit of the conversation.
You've hit something we've been debating internally. When we shipped v0.1.0 last week, we were all about privacy - that was THE message.
That's still a cornerstone, but as I use talat, my focus shifts more towards *empowerment*: let users do what they want with their data, both in and out (1/...)
Thank you SO much for the support - honestly it means so much to me (well; us, but my great friend and cofounder isn't on bsky).
