Show HN: QuicMic – Use your phone as a PC mic in the browser (Rust, QUIC)

Category: infrastructure

Tags: audio, webtransport, rust, low-latency, wireless-microphone

Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

QuicMic turns your phone into a low-latency wireless microphone for your PC using WebTransport (QUIC/UDP) with a WebSocket fallback, requiring no app installation on the phone. It uses a lock-free SPSC ring buffer and on-the-fly resampling, and generates a self-signed TLS certificate for secure pairing via a QR code and PIN. The project is interesting for its practical use case, clever combination of modern web technologies (WebTransport) with a virtual audio device abstraction, and polished implementation including noise gate, gain control, and eco mode.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, content creators, gamers
