I have always wanted to be able to write Alfred workflows exclusively in a text editor. In order to do that, I built Alpaca, a compiler for Alfred workflows.

Instead of using the Alfred GUI for authoring workflows, an Alpaca project defines the workflow in an "alpaca.yml" file, and then the Alpaca command line interface is used to compile the project to a working Alfred workflow.

Only a tiny bit of Alfred functionality is implemented at this point, but I wanted to release something simple for v1.
