Same, but went with tinycast. Definitely interested in what Stephen's got going on here though. Raycast v2 has been really unfortunate and in the day of agentic programming, there's not a good excuse for drifting away from native.

I just switched from Raycast to Tinycast! 🚀
@DanielLockyer
I moved from Raycast since they made it non-native and bad. Tinycast is a great native replacement: https://github.com/abue-ammar/tinycast

The best Mac app on planet earth.

Raycast is my favorite example when people ask me about designing keyboard shortcuts. Most of us try to make shortcuts memorable. T is for theme, so I'm going to make option+t toggle theme. That's fine. But you need to consider user's hand placement. Are they using your app one-handed, or are both hands already on the keyboard (like right after launching Raycast)? Which common actions a user might be need both a pointer and a keyboard to do? Raycast gets this. Really well. The shortcut should meet the hand where it already is.
