Wait, this is Autocomplete for $12/month?
- k4rli 3y agoBased on their frontpage example videos, it seems to be for Mac users who don't know any better. I don't see anything useful that isn't FOSS already.
- yohannparis 3y ago1. Packaging solution in an easy to use tool is what software engineers do. Nothing wrong with non-FOSS solution. 2. You could provide a list of FOSS solutions to replace Fig.io, even better write a tutorial on how to install and setup those solutions.
- hot_gril 3y agoEither the FOSS solutions are lacking something or all those corporate customers are fools.
- daotoad 3y agoEven if the only thing fig adds is easier set up and integration and consistency of setup between users that could be enough to justify the cost. Saving an hour of engineering time spent fiddling with your CLI config every year makes this a good value for a business.
- hot_gril 3y agoYes. Plenty of people know how to DIY or can figure it out, it's not a special skill. They just don't consider it worthwhile.
- snoose 3y agoNo, its free, just some "advanced" features cost money
- Brajeshwar 3y agoWait till you learn about Raycast. https://www.raycast.com 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.
- randomsofr 3y agoive been using raycast on a new computer, i prefer alfred, much faster, and i know the tooling better.
- orliesaurus 3y agoI use Raycast - it's pretty dope and I also made my own extensions
- mavamaarten 3y agoTry it. I've jumped ship a while ago, and it's amazing. I miss it a lot on Linux and Windows, FlowLauncher doesn't feel nearly as polished and I already forgot which launcher I use on my Linux install. 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.
- dexterdog 3y agoI was a 10-ish year paid user of alfred and decided to try raycast about a year ago. I've never gone back to alfred.
- SilentNuke 3y agoI've also been a paid user of Alfred for nearly a decade. I tried Raycast in it's early stages, also became a paid user, and haven't gone back to Alfred. I adore and appreciate Alfred, it was one of the first applications I would install on a new Mac. However, Raycast is a very well polished product and has been a great add-on to the daily arsenal.

- l5870uoo9y 3y agoI reckon scripts and secrets sharing within teams is the primary feature customers pay for.
- ibdf 3y agoIt does more than just autocomplete and it does it well.
