Hey, I made that! Awesome job on improving it!

Amazing! Something I've been meaning to build myself and now I don't have to. I'd like to echo the need for multiple song search—my use case for this was good playlists in cafes where I want to identify the playlist based on 1-3 shazam'd songs.

This really surprised me! It's super polished already and works great! Gonna try to do our company's virtual happy hour here. Great job!

I love Quicksilver, it's an extension of my brain at this point. It's also still alive: https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver

I'd be surprised if AutoHotkey didn't offer something like that. I miss it every day on macOS.

not a password rule but: i use a password length of > 40 characters because why not? signing up for paypal worked with that no problemo until i had to sign in again and the login input ignored everything north of 20 characters or so. It worked after removing the maxlength attribute :(

Your word for today: Whataboutism

AutoHotKey!!! It single-handedly spurred my interest in software development.

I still remember my favorite scripts and miss them dearly:

- a smart "spell check" of sorts that could look at previous characters or words to contextually fix typos and expand abbreviations, powered by regex. For instance it would recognize common typos like `AUtohotkey` where your finger would linger on shift for too long. Or auto-add a closing parentheses, if the previous character wasn't a colon (in case you wanted to type `:(` etc.

- I was a huge fan of OSX and specifically wanted to have something like Quicksilver back then but could not afford a Mac. So I built Quicksilver with AutoHotKey and used that. It had a cache, contextual actions, periodic rescanning, would search not only files but also Preferences and fuzzy search with custom scoring. God I loved this thing.

Fun fact, the current logo was contributed by me waaaaay back in the day :)

Thanks for featuring my little shadow tool! I'm glad it's useful!

There's a figma plugin out now as well: https://www.figma.com/c/plugin/788830704169694737/SmoothShad...

As a German, I'm a bit curious why is this being downvoted. I had the exact same thought (two anecdotes don't make anecdata, I know, but), let me tell you why:

I just don't think there's a market for this here. No one in my age range (mid thirties) or income level (SWE, comfy living in large German tech focused city) would think of buying a Mercedes Benz, let alone an electric one.

For one, these things are expensive especially new, which the electric one would be. If you're looking at it from the young-environmentally-conscious angle, I don't think there's any trust towards Mercedes Benz to be doing this for the right 'reasons,' i.e. not actually caring about the environment, or going about it in a bad way.

They are scramblin' to keep up after sleeping through the electrical car revolution and have nothing new to offer. Their approach and entire business model is deeply entrenched in traditional gas cars.

Even if someone like me could afford the car (due to good job and income matched to levels in expensive city), by living in said city, they wouldn't need a car to go anywhere!

I just don't see people who could afford an electric Mercedes buying one because people like that think global warming is a hoax, hate Greta, and buy diesel cars out of protest.

I'm almost surprised they sold that many cars, actually.

That is super cool. Is there any reading material on this somewhere?

Shameless plug: I built something similar[0] a while ago, maybe it's useful for you.

By default it does fuzzy tab search, (multi) selection and closing. The new advanced mode[1] turns it into something more like Quicksilver, with object->action->optional-param command sequences.

It's only on the Chrome extension marketplace, although it should be mostly compatible with Firefox.

This reminded me of a book[1] I discovered via a tweet from @codinghorror, and his follow-up article[2] about it.
