This is the first time I've heard of Fig, just downloaded it and it's a hell lot slicker than zsh-autocomplete. It would be great to make the telemetry opt-out more noticeable, preferably on setup, I would not have noticed it unless I saw the comment with the command to run. (Although I now see it's buried in the settings too)

> Didn't expect to see Fig here this morning. Yeah yeah right and you just appeared out of nowhere with a 300-word explainer. "Just in case". Stop this shit-show already, everybody knows you're a YC-baked company YC-baked companies get tips and notifications when they're about to get featured people are critiquing you below and you're asking HN mods to downrank negative comments to keep up your PR-game my harsh, but…
> YC-baked [sic] companies get tips and notifications when they're about to get featured We don't.
us outsiders can't know for sure!
for example i didn't knew a comment critiquing a YC-company could be pinned down
but now i know and this doesn't make neither HN nor Fig better in my eyes
Re: Fig now supports JetBrains IDEs
#43Of course there's a lot of HN bitterness here. But I like Fig. I've been running my own heavily customised .zshrc for about a decade with loads of bells and whistles in terms of autocomplete and customised prompts and what not and it has been great and I've kept it current with cool new toys. But I've dumped most of it in the last month for Fig. I like seeing command specific options, relevant to the current context,…

`zsh-autocomplete` is a great tool as well! Some of this is just a matter of personal preference. I've answered a few of your concerns in a different comment[0]. tl;dr Autocomplete is just our first product, and it's part of a suite of tools focused on improving developer experience in the terminal. The idea is that you can configure your developer environment in Fig and then we'll sync it across all of your devices.…
> The idea is that you can configure your developer environment in Fig and then we'll sync it across all of your devices 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? > Fig will always be free for individuals. Teams pay for Fig for collaboration…
You don't have to use it. I just downloaded it and it's really neat, looks way better than zsh-autocomplete because it has an actual UI (as much as people here are trying to make it sound like it's the same thing). I don't think the syncing thing has much value either (for me, maybe teams), but that's not why I'm using it.

agreed! it's so awesome that we now have a proprietary, VC-baked, telemetry-enabled tool that does everything free and open-source zsh-autocomplete can!

Not sure why you are being so negative on this thread. It took me 30 seconds rather than fiddling with commands and installing various autocomplete plugins and packages to get a nice config. I've done that before and don't have time these days to work on my "perfect" zsh config. I don't really care how they got their money, telemetry is opt out and they claim it's private right on the homepage.
zsh-autocomplete now has some competition so maybe both products will innovate at a faster pace.

> they claim it's private right on the homepage
yeah right, let's just blindly trust them!
> zsh-autocomplete now has some competition
Fig can't compete, because it only works on mac and isn't open-source

#48I don't understand why you need my e-mail during setup.
I mentioned this in another comment [0]. > Autocomplete is just our first product, and it's part of a suite of tools focused on improving developer experience in the terminal. The idea is that you can configure your developer environment in Fig and then we'll sync it across all of your devices. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31113668
Could this sync-feature be opt-in instead of mandatory?

Learn the tools, stay away from the toys. Hundreds of developers have been incredibly productive with a regular shell - there isn't any practical need for a product like Fig. If it were me and I was seeking more productivity from my shell, I would dive into books into how to improve it for myself rather than hook myself to another tool.
Re: Fig now supports JetBrains IDEs
#50Fig 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…
Hey, you've made your point multiple times in this thread - maybe take a rest, drink a glass of water and go for a walk?
Be well.
