Earlier quoted context omitted.

what version are you running? I'm currently working on improving extension support but yes, some are still in a broken state.

the newly released 0.9.4 should fix some of your issues.

Indeed it did. Hats off to you sir! Thanks for the update.

This looks very slick and polished. Nice work!

I'm used to drun/rofi and enjoy their simplicity, but have also secretly envied the out-of-the-box experience of more fully featured launchers on macOS. I remember using Spotlight and Alfred many years ago, and being impressed by the experience.

I like that you chose to make it compatible with Raycast, and how easy it is to extend, based on a quick look at the docs.

I'll definitely keep an eye on your project, and give it a try. Thanks for sharing!

I have a very similar experience, I used mac for a long time, then moved to linux and used the simpler alternatives. Then I found Raycast and their extension system, and thought it would be amazing to have something similar on Linux, so I made this :)

This is fantastic! Raycast is one of the few things I miss on Linux. It looks like that is no longer the case. Great to see it already has a Nix flake too! I was able to get it setup basically instantly.

Thanks, although it's not up to Raycast's level (yet)!
