    Hain is a great project, they launched a few months after I started working on Zazu! For comparison: - Zazu has a github based package manager - A dotfile for configuration (for ba…

    I haven't heard of lacona until you just mentioned it, but it does look nice. They also have plugins written in node, but offer a more "natural language" search, which Zazu doesn't…

    In v0.2.2 it tells you when it's still loading the plugins. Feel free to try deleting your ~/.zazu folder and using this newer version!

    I would LOVE auto paste, but I've not found a good way to do this in Electron yet. ]: If you know how, let me know :D

    Uh oh! Can you file an issue on github with the log file stored in `~/.zazu/log`?

    I've been running it on my Mac, along with other electron apps like Slack and VSCode, and I've not noticed a drain on my battery. It's never come up in my "Apps using significant e…

    It was implemented in Node and I've not benchmarked it on Windows, but it's probably not as fast. [:

    Yes, since the first file finder needed to be cross platform I create a cache in the plugin, but a mac specific one would be great! :D Technically it spins up another process and r…

    I just installed on a fresh install of Ubuntu, but maybe this is debian specific. It looks like I just need to add my email address to the author field, I'll try and release again …

    This even force pushes! Your last hope is the reflog, which can also be pruned/deleted. Maybe that should be added?

    Do they not need permission from the nearly 500 contributors to do this?

    Wouldn't this be considered an anti-pattern? Similar to switching to emacs just to make it work exactly like vim? Just use vim, or in this case, just use mercurial?
