Raycast does it as a spotlight replacement. I contributed a minor update to the Gitlab scripts. Can recommend

+1. I never thought I would replace Alfred ever, but Raycast did it. Two weeks now and I don't miss a thing.

Raycast seems very performant and scriptable/hackable.

It’s a nice utility but I feel it is another activity that will further sap our focus. As if social media hasn’t done enough damage by utilizing “easy” to get our attention.

Yeah. But, I felt this is better than opening multiple browser tabs and losing focus. So, I built this.

Is a good util by the looks of it, it was a backhanded compliment

Like the local data approach, but was surprised to read for at least the Google Analytics option your OAuth token is routed through Radar services (even if it’s use is then local), which feels a bit of a bummer when the effort was otherwise there to be all local.

I can understand your concern. But, I need to comply with Google APIs Terms of Service. https://developers.google.com/terms#b_confidential_matters > You will keep your credentials confidential and make reasonable efforts to prevent and discourage other API Clients from using your credentials. Developer credentials may not be embedded in open source projects

That’s a fair point, I forgot you had to use a token on your end too to make the flow work; thanks for your reply.

Added a 1-click installer to check HN karma points.

Hey Vignesh, Consider adding facility for invoking system notifications. People were looking for such a solution on my problem validation platform[1].

Congratulations on the launch, I've been following your development since you announced it couple of months back.

Couple of other quick suggestions,

Linux KDE: Panel gets struck to the top right and cannot be moved elsewhere. This interferes with other items there. Mac screenshots on your site shows different panel placement. The ability to move the panel to desired location could be ideal.

Thanks! Sure, I'll look into the panel placement issue.
