Show HN: Turn spoken thoughts into system design diagrams

https://github.com/triggeredcode/lucid
1•triggered_code•37m ago
I recently had an issue with my right hand, and couldn't use it very effectively. So I was trying to figure out how I could still get work done without typing everything with my right hand.

I looked around for some tools, but then thought, why not try building something myself? The idea was to make an accessibility and productivity tool that lets me get thoughts out of my head and turn them into something useful with less manual effort.

That's how I started building Lucid. You can turn rough input into structured notes, diagrams, and tables, and edit everything afterwards. I'm also using a local AI model through LM Studio.

One use case I had in mind was system design. Imagine thinking through a system, talking about its components, and getting a diagram out of it instead of manually creating everything. I'm currently using a separate dictation app for voice input, so there's still a lot I can improve here.

It started as a way to help myself, but I thought it was a cool thing to build and might be useful to others as well. So sharing it here!
