Last week I built VoiceNotes to solve my own voice memo problem.
Here's the thing: I constantly record voice notes during meetings and research, but organizing them is genuinely painful. Existing apps are either too complex or don't quite fit my workflow.
So I thought "why not build my own?"
Went with .NET MAUI since I wanted it to work on both Android and iOS. SQLite for offline storage, Material Design for a clean interface. AssemblyAI integration automatically transcribes voice notes to text.
The best part? While solving my own problem, I created something others can use too. Made it open source on GitHub.
Sometimes the best projects start this way - from your own itch.
