These features are nice, but I've never liked the idea of having to use a whole new terminal application to get them. I may be becoming a dinosaur, but it's not that I'm not willing to try new things. On the contrary, after many years of being rigid about having one true development environment, I've moved away from Emacs to VS Code, and work from more heterogeneous environments instead of being 100% Mac. So these pl…
Congratulations! I've been using it for about a year or so. Hopefully their product will continue to exist... that's what their blog says now, but that's pretty much what everyone says at first.
They seem to have built a decent community, so I can see it continuing, provided the core/all code for Fig is open source. In the last 6 weeks, 57 new contributors took the time to create 62 issues and 111 new contributors took the time to comment. These are very heathy community metrics, but there hasn't been a lot of code activity, which would make sense if they were focused on the sale to AWS.

There's a whole graveyard out there of "next-gen" terminal projects, and none of those still alive seems to be gaining dominance. I don't think writing down a spec would help this, but it would be great if whatever emerged victorious had one.
Tried to check it out, but I got "Signups are currently disabled" :(
I installed Fig just now and got "Something went wrong. Signups are currently disabled." when I tried to use it. Their servers have been overwhelmed by Hacker News traffic presumably.
Wait, this is Autocomplete for $12/month?
Wait till you learn about Raycast. https://www.raycast.com I've heard a lot of good things about Raycast. I'm very tempted to jump ship from Alfred. Still hanging on.
The ones I love the most are Keepass, Bitrise, and the fact that you can just press enter to join the Google Meet call attached to the next upcoming meeting.
> New users will not be able to sign up for Fig's products right now while we focus on optimizing them for existing customers and addressing some needs identified to integrate Fig with AWS. This sounds a lot like the product is dead, and may emerge again at some point as an AWS hosted, Amazon branded product... I'd never use a subscription + telemetry laden product like this in my core workflow, but sucks for the cur…
If AWS bought it for the product, what reason would there ever be to stop the current business model entirely rather than leaving it on its current trajectory for a few months, untill said "needs" are addressed?
Seems like I dodged a bullet. When I interviewed there the founder asked very generic questions that may as well have come straight out of an Amazon leadership principles pamphlet. I bet Amazon will be a good fit for them. I feel bad for the employees who likely wanted to work for a startup, not Amazon. I’d be surprised if they got much from the acquihire either.
Seems like tough competition in this space. Warp has what's essentially Github Copilot in the CLI, and it's the same price. Beyond that, actual GH Copilot does a damn good job of crafting any CLI command that you can describe.
