1. What are your plans for monetization. I hate start using and getting used to something and then monetization or tracking spoils things. 2. Is the app a native Macos App or some react-native/electron wrapper?
I want something like this, which is why I more or less have the skeleton and something that at least approaches this idea, built organically through time using various utilities. Rofi, some shell scripts, etc. This is a great idea in theory but much harder to do properly in practice. The idea is only really worthwhile as long as you can really extend it to a lot of things(no one cares about adding an Nth tool that c…
> does the YC20 in the title means that someone has funded this idea? It just means they are part of the Winter 2020 batch (the most recent one). You are right about the interface getting really complicated if every feature is to be implemented. But, assuming the 80/20 rule is in effect - Most of the time we would only be using a few features. As long as they identify those features and only implement them well, this…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Which integrations you would be interested in? We're going to be adding more integrations in the future, such as GitHub, GitLab, Slack, GSuite and so on, stay tuned.
GitHub would be cool. I also use Slack and Clubhouse.

Not only that, but the Launch HN title means that it's a promoted post [1]. Launch HNs are one of three formal things [2] that HN gives back to YC in exchange for funding it.

[2] The others are job ads for YC startups and displaying YC founder names in orange to other YC founders.

I totally agree with you that scalability is an huge point and that we need to tackle it. Two things: 1. We won't build all the integrations ourselves. There are just too many individual things. We'll provide an API that developers can use to cover their custom workflows. 2. Raycast doesn't replace your other tools. It makes the common interactions with them simple and fast. We believe that it shouldn't take plenty o…
But I hope I'm wrong, since I would really love this. I use rofi + some custom shell scripts to achieve a similar interface in some ways, but as I imagine you know very well by now, going from something like that, to something that integrates with jira(or whatever) is not just a couple of steps.

Did you consider writing this as a CLI tool and using amazing auto-completion to give you discoverability and an advanced UI? I love the idea of having a tool that brings these systems together but would rather keep my focus on the command line since that's where I'm spending the majority of my time. raycast ticket create "Run database migration in production" raycast ticket create claim set_owner close raycast ticke…
I like the idea. My feedback: the name seems like it's going to confuse people. I almost skipped by this post when I saw the name at a glance because I'm not particularly interested in 3D graphics.
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, it crossed our mind that some people familiar with 3D graphics term might get confused. I really hope that there are not too many people in our target audience familiar with it, though I might be wrong :)
