The idea of Epicenter is to store your data in a folder of plaintext and SQLite, and build a suite of interoperable, local-first tools on top of this shared memory. Everything is totally transparent, so you can trust it."

Yes! This. I have almost no experience w/ tts, but if/when I explore the space, I'll start w/ Whispering -- because of Epicenter. Starred the repo, and will give some thought to other apps that might make sense to contribute there. Bravo, thanks for publishing these and sharing, and congrats on getting into YC! :)
