Am launching something on Product Hunt tomorrow. Have put a couple of products on there before, but this is my first time launching something that I'm working on full-time.

Would be cool to hear some success stories, or any tips/tricks that worked for you.

Hi guys,

I came across a video called 'The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Plain Text' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgV6M1LyfNY) and found it pretty compelling.

I'd been thinking about how to manage internal company files and was considering Google Drive or Notion, but I'm now considering trying to store everything in plain text using Git.

I like that using plain text gives information a feeling of permanence.

There are some obvious drawbacks such as a learning curve for non-technical employees and plain text not being adequate for all tasks. Sometimes you need images and charts.

I was wondering whether anyone has implemented this in their startup and, if so, how you are finding it?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

After some research and no luck finding anyone that seems to be working on this, I thought I'd try a Hail Mary and post on here.

I'm looking to speak to anyone who is working on speech-to-video (real-time speech rendering). We already have software which can take audio (speech) input and render a video which resembles a person or avatar speaking, but it takes a long time to render.

How long will it be before the video of the person/avatar speaking will be renderable in near real-time, with similar latency to existing speech-to-text models?

What would the prototype look like to reduce the latency? Is anyone working on anything like this?

For context, I run a language learning app where you can practice speaking orally with AI. It would be far more engaging if the user had an avatar/person to be able to speak to, rather than staring at the chat history whilst talking to the AI conversation partner.

Thanks, Chris
