I do a lot of note-taking from podcasts and long videos, and the most annoying part is still the basic file handling. You find the episode, download a huge audio file, upload it somewhere else, wait again, then finally get the transcript. It feels especially silly when the episode is already online. I’m usually not trying to keep the MP3 forever either — I just want the text so I can pull a quote, find a timestamp, or turn the good parts into notes.

Lately I’ve been trying to avoid the whole download/upload loop and use link-based transcription instead. Basically, paste a public podcast or video link and let the tool fetch the audio directly instead of making my laptop the middleman. I’ve been testing Vocova for this because it works across different types of media links, not just YouTube, and it saves me from keeping random audio files in my Downloads folder. Full disclosure, I’m connected with Vocova, so this isn’t meant to be a neutral review. I’m more curious about the workflow itself — are people here still downloading files manually, or have you found a cleaner way to go from podcast/video link to usable transcript?

I don’t want to make that kind of ordinary personal website

So I used vibecoding to build a 3D personal website.

Here are some shares about the design process.

I first used vibe coding to quickly build the page structure and the 3D scene prototype, then adjusted the camera and interactions through prompts, continuously tweaking and experimenting through trial and error during the process.

It was for my portfolio, but during the process of making it, I found it really interesting.

Camera language: Bezier curve orbiting + Fisheye + simulated breathing-like jitter, aka Biometric Jitter

Motion effects: GSAP

Animation: Tripo AI rigging

I hope this website can make people remember me in the first second after opening it. I think this is more vivid than a traditional portfolio.

I’m still continuing to adjust the camera and interactions. Thanks to vibe coding, and I hope everyone can give me some suggestions.

Does anyone else hate downloading podcast files just to transcribe them?

I used Vibecoding to build a 3D personal website with a cinematic aesthetic.
