I would love to see something like this take off. Spotlight is great, but there is other functionality in Alfred I quite like. However, I find Alfred kind of expensive. Never heard of Raycast, but this prompted me to check it out and I'm quite liking it so far.
If you like Alfred, you'll love Raycast. Never had a product completely replace another one so easily.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

What are the most useful things that you use that are in Raycast but not in Alfred (or better in Raycast)?
If there is an upcoming meeting with a zoom/teams/ link attached, you can join by pressing enter.
Never had to look for a meeting link again.
I'm not sure if Alfred has this as well, but nevertheless, i just love this feature
Something fishy with the dependency graph on this… How is this a dependency of peoples webdev school work?
Wondering if it has a lower memory usage compared to Alfred
Good to see something like this, don't forget there is already an open source alternative (pre-existing) for Alfred and Raycast. It's called Quicksilver - https://qsapp.com
I have used it for a decade. I use it primarily as a launcher but it supports a usage model of select thing then select action to perform on the thing which makes it a versatile and powerful way to drive things by keyboard.
It also has a plug-in system with integrations for other apps.
I recommend the Yosemite theme. https://github.com/mikker/YosemiteDarkInterface-qsplugin
There is also https://www.scriptkit.com/ by John Lindquist which has a great course to get started: https://egghead.io/courses/script-kit-showcase-for-optimizin...
What makes it particularly useful is the breadth of coverage of functionality of the API and integration with OS features.
There's nothing (obvious to me) in the repo. The official site is just the README.md. I installed it via brew; there's no man page. Bash can't find it. Spotlight found it and ran it...I guess.
What am I missing?
