    This is amazing and incredible. Thanks for this. Raycast is great, and there are not many good launchers on Linux unfortunately. Launchers are so important in my opinion to interact with the computer. I hope this project will change the situation on Linux.

      thanks! I think so too. Easy extensibility is also a very important factor imo. I think React (declarative UI in general) has it good there.

      Installation was easy, and it works as expected without interfering with i3 window controls.

      However, the sole reason I'm keeping an eye out for raycast-compatible launchers is the ability to integrate the raindrop.io extension - which seems to be broken when used through Vicinae.

      Maybe someone else running raindrop got it to work; "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'subscribers')".

        what version are you running? I'm currently working on improving extension support but yes, some are still in a broken state.

        • aurellius 2 days ago

          the newly released 0.9.4 should fix some of your issues.

        never knew I wanted this until I saw it! this looks very fully featured and awesome, will keep in mind for the future

        • aurellius 2 days ago

          yeah. The general idea of having anything at a few keystrokes is the most amazing thing to me

            Yeah I know about this project, but I don't know how joining forces would go as the tech stack is entirely different.

            This is actually very impressive - such a high quality project on technical level. I'll definitely dig into the source to see how the React & C++ widgets integration works as it looks like an interesting approach.

            • aurellius 2 days ago

              Thanks! Honestly a lot of the code you will find has very messy parts to it but that's mostly because I didn't get the time to make it any better yet

            • avdept a day ago

              Any chance to compile it for macOS ARM?

              • aurellius a day ago

                not yet but that's the next target

                  Installing (Arch btw), love the UI

                  • aurellius 2 days ago

                    thank you! (from a gentoo user, I guess that makes us cousins)
