Hey HN! It’s Finn and Jack from Aqua Voice (https://withaqua.com). Aqua, which we have rebuilt massively, is our attempt to make voice a first class input method, which it is NOT today.

Watch the demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-2UbSC0Zxo

Finn is uber dyslexic and has been using dictation software since sixth grade. For over a decade, he’s been chasing a dream that never quite worked — using your voice instead of a keyboard.

Our last post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39828686) about this really resonated (thanks!) but it turned out that that version was more of a prototype than a product.

But it gave us (and some others) a lot of good ideas about what should come next.

Since then, we’ve remade Aqua from scratch for speed and usability. It now lives on your desktop, and it lets you talk into any text field — Cursor, Gmail, Slack, even your terminal.

It starts up in under 50ms, inserts text in about a second (sometimes as fast as 450ms), and has state-of-the-art accuracy. There's a new "instant mode" for fire-and-forget dictation, with a streaming option for sentence-by-sentence writing.

It’s also context-aware: it tries to understand what you see to improve accuracy. You can customize its behavior with instructions that you set in the dashboard: for example, “Always use lowercase in Slack, and never start sentences with ‘And’”. It works in over 50 languages now.

Something new has happened too: developers have started using Aqua as a fast, fluid way to prompt LLM coding tools like Cursor, Windsurf, and Bolt. That’s been surprising — and it’s bringing a lot of new people into voice.

We’re still a small team, but this version of Aqua is ready for everyone. You can download and try it free at https://withaqua.com.

We’d love your feedback — and if you’ve got ideas for what voice should do next, let’s hear them.

Ditch Burp Suite’s bloat for zxc, a Rust-built, terminal-based proxy that uses tmux and Vim to intercept HTTP/S and WebSocket traffic. It captures requests for debugging, security testing, or tweaking—fast and lean.

# Key Features - Disk Wizardry: Stashes massive datasets on disk-100k+ entries without breaking a sweat.

- Addons: Boost your workflow with default support for ffuf and sqlmap, or craft your own addons for extra fun.

- Buffer Tweaks: Edit variables in a popup (e.g., b:host, b:scheme) in Interceptor/Repeater to twist requests.

- Config Control: TOML files for global ($HOME/.config/zxc/config.toml) or per-session tweaks.

- Content Filtering: Skip requests based on the request Content-Type header.

- Domain Filtering: selectively include or exclude specific domains, offering granular control over which traffic is proxied or relayed, with support for wildcards like *.example.com

- Edit Config on the Fly: Tweak session settings live from History in a popup-changes hit instantly or refresh manually if edited outside.

- Encoding Tricks: Base64 or URL encode/decode in Visual mode-sneaky.

- Extended Attributes: Supercharge your workflow with `.req` files automatically tagged with critical metadata (e.g., user.host, user.http) - break free from the sandbox and unlock powerful integration with external tools like scripts or analyzers.

- Extension Filtering: Skip requests based on the requested contents extension `.mp3`, `.mp4` etc.

- History Display Filters: Tweak History logs by host, URI, or status code with Vim regex flair.

- History Window: View and filter all traffic in real-time.

- Interception Queue: Manage pending requests and responses in real-time—view the queue with scheme and host details, then forward, drop, or tweak them as they pile up in the Interceptor window.

- Malformed Requests: Custom HTTP/1.1 parser for sending quirky, security-testing requests.

- Repeater Window: Resend and tweak HTTP or WebSocket requests with ease

- Request Sharing: Share requests freely between windows for seamless tweaking and testing.

- Search Superpowers: Search requests or responses and add to Vim’s quickfix/location lists.

- Session Management: Create named sessions and attach to older sessions to resume work seamlessly.

- Traffic Interception: Edit requests and responses live in Vim.

- WebSocket History: A clear, organized history view of all WebSocket traffic with `.whis` files for a full overview, or dive into single-session details with `.wsess` files.

- WebSocket: Proxy and replay WebSocket traffic.

A while ago I posted a link to an earlier version of this, but a lot has changed since then!

Humbug is a GUI designed to let you do more structured software engineering with AI. Most of the development work has been driven using Metaphor, a very simple natural-language based format for capturing detailed context.

Metaphor aims to make development prompting much more repeatable and to offset many of the concerns that experienced engineers have with using AI. It provides a framework to capture the important learnings from interactive discussions and continually refine them in a way that gets much more predictable and higher quality software as an output.

Wake up to a new app on your iPhone after the iOS 18.4 update? You're not the only one.

Even if your fancy new phone gets 5G service, you're not guaranteed to be able to get a 5G home internet service. What gives? CNET explains.

Less than two dozen cybersecurity merger and acquisition (M&A) deals were announced in March 2025.

The post Cybersecurity M&A Roundup: 23 Deals Announced in March 2025 appeared first on SecurityWeek.

It's the PGA Tour's final event before next week's US Masters.

The latest foldable phones from Google and Oppo have impressive cameras, but which comes out on top?

From Oscar winners, including Parasite and 1917, to the Taylor Sheridan-penned Sicario, here are our current top Netflix movie picks.

Commentary: Apple, Samsung and Google could benefit from launching phones less often. So would the planet.
