#53This looks great, I was just thinking yesterday that we need something Greplin (YC10) these days
Agreed, this is like Greplin (Cue) but with better UX! Any comparison to https://usejournal.com/? Slapdash uses similar terminology (e.g. Spaces)

#54Awesome, I'm longing for something like this for a while. Especially for many cloud systems like salesforce etc. Reminds me of Bloomberg terminal. I tried signing up, but receive no confirmation email to jmechtel posteo.de
I just checked and it looks like the confirmation email was blocked. One way to unblock is to sign up with a Google account (which won't require the email verification). Otherwise, feel free to email me (ivan@slapdash.com) and I can help confirm your account.
had the same problem, I'm using my own domain... signed up, but didn't get an email

Also came here to ask to see more examples of day to day usecases!
Here is a sampling of ways I use Slapdash daily. * Open files I know exist without touching the browser[0] * Create new issues without touching the browser * See what my colleagues are working on[1] * Launch Mac Apps * Use custom commands to speed up debugging. We have commands like "Find Customer" * Use commands to launch recurring Zoom rooms * Open my VSCode to a specific directory to start coding * Use spaces to o…
How do you use Slapdash to control VSCode? I thought that maybe I could create a command that executes a shell script, but it seems a command can only open a url in the browser, right? I can't find any docs for custom commands on your website.

#56Why didn’t you call your company ctrl j? Then I would never forget that shortcut.

Yes, you're right. Today we're not doing a good job at teaching people about Ctrl+J. Thanks for pointing it out. We'll make it better.
By the way, you can override the shortcut in Preferences (see "Global Command Bar Shortcut"). For instance, I changed my shortcut to CMD+SPACE (I already had a muscle memory for this shortcut since before I used Spotlight on Mac OS).

#58interesting product. atleast something I would want to use.
In my earlier job we had several repos and being new to the job, I had to search often to understand how a particular logic is handled. sometimes the search will lead to a doc or internal wiki.
I had tried getFYI but I am much faster at typing than browsing.
Also the command line looks useful too. Do you allow custom tasks? Like I do SSH often on the servers to check logs. I would love to do all of it in one go:) You could do something similar to visual studio build config.
Good luck.

VSCode registers[0] a url handler for vscode:// so you can open a directory or other things in VSCode with just a url

Exactly right.
I have my command set up to open this URL:
vscode://file/
The "file" above is important, first time I set it up I missed it and it didn't work correctly.
