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.
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')".
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.
I'm used to drun/rofi and enjoy their simplicity, but have also secretly envied the out-of-the-box experience of more fully featured launchers on macOS. I remember using Spotlight and Alfred many years ago, and being impressed by the experience.
I like that you chose to make it compatible with Raycast, and how easy it is to extend, based on a quick look at the docs.
I'll definitely keep an eye on your project, and give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
I have a very similar experience, I used mac for a long time, then moved to linux and used the simpler alternatives. Then I found Raycast and their extension system, and thought it would be amazing to have something similar on Linux, so I made this :)

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.

what version are you running? I'm currently working on improving extension support but yes, some are still in a broken state.
the newly released 0.9.4 should fix some of your issues.
Indeed it did. Hats off to you sir! Thanks for the update.
You should join forces with https://github.com/ByteAtATime/raycast-linux, mentioned some time ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44551762
Yeah I know about this project, but I don't know how joining forces would go as the tech stack is entirely different.

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
never knew I wanted this until I saw it! this looks very fully featured and awesome, will keep in mind for the future
yeah. The general idea of having anything at a few keystrokes is the most amazing thing to me
Great job! Would love to see a write up on how you implemented that - especially React integration into the Qt app.
Thanks! Yeah I will definitely write something like that in the future
This looks very slick and polished. Nice work!

Any chance to compile it for macOS ARM?
not yet but that's the next target
yesssss please
Looks amazing, thank you - installing!
Installing (Arch btw), love the UI
thank you! (from a gentoo user, I guess that makes us cousins)
I love it! Incredible work!
this is crazy. nice job
