yomi

Japanese text-to-speech CLI tool with local voice synthesis

A single Hacker News mention drove all detectable signal for tamnd/yomi, a Japanese TTS tool. No GitHub traction, no social pickup, no developer adoption beyond the original post.

Why now: HN algorithm surfaced a niche Show HN post in a sparse period; no actual event or release.

• Only HN source detected (rank 7 in tiny pool of 9 HN items, score 3/10)
• Zero GitHub, X, Reddit, Product Hunt, Bluesky signals despite GH weight being 0.25
• 183 of 200 pool items are single_source — this is baseline noise, not exception
• oursRank 40 with score 8.9 suggests weak internal signal, not early detection

Considerations: HN rank 7 in a 9-item pool is not front-page virality. Japanese TTS is a crowded space (VoiceVox, COEIROINK, Style-Bert-VITS2). No stars, no forks, no issues activity visible. Likely a Show HN that died.

EMERGING SIGNAL · Ignore: Do not track further unless GitHub stars exceed 500 or second credible source appears.
