I didn't realize that it was proprietary, but that still doesn't really explain bundling an entire terminal emulator for something this simple... (license.md should include the licenses for Ghostty and fzy - both MIT. Not sure that bundling their licenses in a file within Contents/Resources/ is sufficient.)

> explain bundling an entire terminal emulator for something this simple. - The app takes 40MB disk space, and around 80MB RAM. So quite light. - Ghostty is fast, and is needed to render the search result list quickly. It is much lighter than a whole browser engine (Electron apps). - I wanted a single "drag and drop" install method for all skill levels. - The app needs its own windows and bundle ID so that the global keyboard shortcut can focus the Hot Notes window without interacting with your other terminal windows. > Not sure that bundling their licenses in a file within Contents/Resources/ is sufficient You can also view the MIT and other licenses in the About menu.

  Alfred, which lets me fuzzy search pretty much anything on my computer, comes in at a whopping 17.1 MB. 80 MB is OK, but standards have definitely been changed due to Electron.
