I'm excited to see some innovation on the terminal! This could be really helpful for some of my students using new tools like git for the first time.

Nice. But still only MacOS? VSCode add-on sounds interesting. Someone at Microsoft get on this acquihire and get it implemented into Windows Terminal/PowerShell or whatever

I think they mentioned somewhere (maybe on discord) that they also want to support linux and windows. But it is easier to start with one platform, prove the product works and then add support for other platforms (if there's enough demand) :)

Making email collection mandatory seems ludicrous to me.

Wait till it’s out of private beta then.

It's not in private beta. The first phrase of the post literally says "Fig is generally available to the public for download".

Anyway. I agree - requiring an email address to start testing the product made me instantly uninstall this app. Unfortunate!

Cheers to the Fig team! Fig has been a game changer for me, and contributing autocomplete backends has been fun and easy. Excited to see where they go
