Seems like this project sprung up to fill a gap with users that wanted offline. I was also someone of similar sentiment.

What speeds are we looking at as bottlenecks right now for offline with Raspberry Pi (4gb)
Back a year or two ago I was getting like 4-5 seconds for a response on Rpi3. Don’t know what the market looks like now. I heard some get 1 second times? I remember using pocketsphinx.
Are language bottlenecks a problem either? Like Python vs pypy? -
Is it possible to have multithread? Can I have the voice assistant talk to me and then tell it to do something at the same time? Like with Google home i can tell it to “stop”

I used to hack Mycroft to do offline only. What is the difference here? I see Python or whatever language u can do. I see a lot of Shell scripting. Do i even need Node red? To what extent is Node red better than old fashioned programming? I see you can interact with devices easier. But if i want to pull some data off the web. Should I still be using like python?

Is it easy to nest intents or commands with Rhasspy? Like say I want context for command based on previous?
-
Is there any boilerplate for this? Like boilerplate skill stuff just to try out? (although i know its optional)
-
Are we still looking at smaller dictionaries to speed up performance times? How are we comparing to Google/alexa/mycroft in terms of speed?

Can i run this on an android phone with something like a linux continer or busy box or whatever vm?
-
My main use cases for things like this: local dictionary lookup definitions of words (webster epub/pdf), read books/pdfs, play music, etc. Do you guys think i could do all this with python? Do u have any better suggestions?

Is there any issues with PulseAudio just dropping and having to restart it?
-
Has anyone tried making their own voice the playback voice?
-
Is there any tips/tricks i should be aware of? I’m currently looking at buying ReSpeaker 2. I have currently a Raspberry pi (4gb) with a camera.

I was thinking of using this in my car too or buy another. Would u guys recommend a UPS for the Pi or is it just overkill?
