I don't understand why you need my e-mail during setup.

Is anyone else getting this warning? I am using macOS 12.3.1, iTerm2 3.4.15 and bash 3.2.57(1) bash: trap: __bp_install: invalid signal specification
Please run `fig issue` and I'll investigate.

Update your iTerm shell integration and the issue should be resolved! Please run `fig issue` and I'll investigate.
I don't understand what Fig is actually for. Why would I want a "visual autocomplete" when I already get what I want out of bash-complete + fzf, a more technically complete and understood solution?
this sounds ridiculous because it is
they can’t drop this shitty idea now, because they took tons of cash from venture capitalists to make it happen

Fig is macOS-only, proprietary, requires e-mail and has telemetry Fig relies on free labour to add completions and does not support open-source completion formats Fig is VC-funded and at some point will have to generate revenue for it’s investors - at your cost don’t use Fig! if you have zsh you can use zsh-autocomplete, which is no worse than Fig https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete edit: this comment w…
I've answered a few of your concerns in a different comment[0].
tl;dr

Fig will always be free for individuals. Teams pay for Fig for collaboration and discovery of internal scripts and for managing dev environment setup and onboarding.
A Linux/Windows version is coming soon. [1] [2]

from what i know the end goal of Fig is to to build a proprietary platform for webapps that run as overlay on top of your terminal this sounds ridiculous because it is they can’t drop this shitty idea now, because they took tons of cash from venture capitalists to make it happen
We think that layer on new interfaces can help make the commandline even more powerful... as well as making it more accessible. Check out kui[0] to get an idea of what we're imagining.

`zsh-autocomplete` is a great tool as well! Some of this is just a matter of personal preference.

don’t make it look like you’re solving a complicated problem
i don’t have 10000 computers at home that i want to sync my configs to
neither do i change my zsh config every day
you do understand that this is a non-issue?

what? people pay for it? you must be kidding, right?
there’s one reason you’re being ridiculed here: you have no moat, no unique value proposition, but you can’t just take your ball and go home, because you have investors whom you promised that this shit is big and will make you guys rich
luckily HN-community understands that and won’t eat your worthless crap
Hacking IME and/or accessibility features to provide shell autocompletion is certainly ... creative solution.
It's taken some creativity on the engineering side, but has been super fun to see what we've been able to build when working with these constraints.
