Thank you for your suggestion; it could be very helpful. I'll consider creating a landing page to make it easier for users to understand.
zacharylee··on Show HN: Listen to Mechanical Keyboard Sounds with Every Keystroke – It's Fast
That makes sense, I will add it in a future update.

Last week, I open-sourced [KeyEcho](https://github.com/ZacharyL2/KeyEcho), a fast and responsive application built with Tauri that plays mechanical keyboard sounds as you type. You can find its performance comparison and some under-the-hood details [here](https://webdeveloper.beehiiv.com/p/opensourced-keyecho-fastr...).

I just released [v0.0.3](https://github.com/ZacharyL2/KeyEcho/releases/tag/v0.0.3), which now supports 8 different mechanical keyboard sounds and offers even better performance. It's still in its early stages, and your feedback and contributions are welcome!

I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the feedback. I will start looking into it.

It's a good choice indeed. But it adds complexity. Maybe I will choose to do this in the future.

In terms of application size, I think around 5MB is great since it provides more convenient GUI features.

Regarding CPU and memory usage, if you don't open the Tauri program window, its CPU and memory usage is negligible.

KeyEcho's usage scenario only involves opening the window for necessary settings. After closing the window (or starting in the background by default), all window resources will be released.

Of course, this is already in the update plan. I will add more audio options in the next version!

I don't know it. I just checked, and it is indeed smaller. However, I found its customizability to be weaker. I think providing a good GUI to offer more audio options is a feature I want.

This issue is because KeyEcho isn't code-signed for macOS yet. Please choose "Open Anyway" in "Security & Privacy".

The secret's safe—just don't pin any noise complaints on me.
