Ask HN: […]

I took some of the Mozilla example code and tweaked it a tiny bit. Pretty crazy what you can do now with voice in the browser. The example below should let you record you voice to text and then have it speak that text back to you. See the Pen speech stuff by Tom (@twwoodward) […]

Two quick Photoshop techniques
Nothing fancy here, but I was really impressed by the new AI background option in Photoshop. I also note how I’m using the layer stroke option to make fancy text. Serious PS people will not be impressed. The bonus is seeing the crazy tree house that Middlebury had back in the early 1970s. […]
