Works great on hyprland with uwsm! I hope window resizing will be supported as it would be nice for extensions (that wish to resize it temporarily). Already have some extension idea.

Extension resizing would be tricky from a UX standpoint, as it would make things a little bit unpredictable, but general window resizing will definitely be a thing

I'm picturing this: an extension that, for whatever program is under the cursor, tries to list all keyboard shortcuts/hotkeys. One could then search through them or "launch" them from there. I've always wanted to build this as a fullscreen app but this could be even better.

Insanely cool. I wrote my own raycast inspired launcher a while ago and never got around to adding proper extension support. There is also https://github.com/project-gauntlet/gauntlet which also has react extensions, but not raycast compatible afaik.

did you open source it? I know about gauntlet and tried it before, great project!

You should join forces with https://github.com/ByteAtATime/raycast-linux , mentioned some time ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44551762

Yeah I know about this project, but I don't know how joining forces would go as the tech stack is entirely different.

It would help if somebody makes a comparison.

Mostly comparison of consumed RAM with identical set of extensions might help me choose without trying each of this projects.
