Interesting because this empowers the user rather than making us the product - we need more of these use cases.

The one thing that seems unfortunate is the choice of name: Piper is already in use in a fairly related area, as a text to speech tool: https://github.com/OHF-Voice/piper1-gpl

I usually think such concerns are lawyers being OTT because they raise them for any potential clash, even when it's clearly very distant and unrelated but something like this is software and heavily using speech, so the potential for the average person misunderstanding and assuming a connection is that much greater.

I agree that the name clash is an issue, I immediately thought of piper tts when seeing the name.

OTT?
