friday night aside: built an open-source meeting recorder for the thoughts you'd never say out loud but turn out to be the most important thing said

terminal notepad that records mic + system audio. every line you type gets a timestamp synced to the recording after the call it transcribes locally, aligns your notes with the transcript, then distills everything into your obsidian vault with [[wikilinks]] to your existing thinking

the distillation is a 240-line markdown file — a claude code skill the LLM follows as instructions. your memo lines are the attention signal, your vault is the context window you can read it, fork it, change how it writes notes. no black box

ran it on two meetings today. the note it wrote linked back to a half-finished doc i forgot about — not as action items, as context for what i'd been thinking about i was tired of pasting transcripts into claude myself. so i built the integration layer
