I'm thinking about doing something similar to highlight where Shortcat's about to click cause I do agree that it could be better in that aspect. The amount of elements Shortcat wil…

Homerow's creator used to be a Shortcat user! He went with a more-vim like interaction model which optimises for minimal keystrokes whereas Shortcat's design goal is to minimise co…

Thanks! I don't have a way to take tips yet, but you can support by pushing for developers to improve their accessibility implementations when you run into issues! I see you found …

Comment #33228358
I'm not sure if an app like Shortcat can be released on the App Store given it uses the Accessibility APIs (sandboxing etc), also the 15-30% cut they take is a bit ooooof, but I do…

It won't be open source, but I will be adding an API so it can be integrated with other apps and scripted

Oooooh, Hunt and Peck indicates that it's possible to make a Shortcat for Windows! I would probably need to pay someone to build that particular version though cause the last time …

Haha, thanks :) I did charge for it a couple of years ago, however I rebuilt the whole thing from scratch after a long hiatus and hadn't had bothered to reimplement licensing becau…

I have plans to use ML/OCR to augment results down the road but the AX APIs and ecosystem on most apps (that I encounter, at least) are generally decent. Also, OCR means it won’t u…

I've built an app that has the same goals (not operate a mouse) but approach it completely different. Rather than try to simulate the moving the mouse itself, Shortcat [ https://sh…

Cloudflare claimed they were going to fight FOSTA but I've seen absolutely nothing done about it.

Cloudflare booted Switter off with no notice, and no apparent outside pressure. See: * https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16876040 * https://www.vice.com/en/article/8xk78x/switte…
