3:49 You mean the logical metric to weird imperial systems 😂

[@stevedylandev]

lol fair enough!! 😂

[@TheStudnet]

I see this is the first video on the channel. It's a good start! Keep it up!

[@stevedylandev]

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻 Been crazy busy but got another video in the works that I’ll hopefully publish soon :) Appreciate the support!

[@alxandrws]

Great video, Steve. Been an Alfred user for many years - just switched to Raycast yesterday. Infinitely better an easier to configure. Going to sign up for Pro and try out AI.

[@stevedylandev]

Awesome!! Love it to hear it; glad you liked the video! 🙏🏻

[@teamvigod]

Been using raycast awhile. It’s awesome. So good I will upgrade to Pro to support development

[@imgkl]

Love the terminal setup.

[@Jbiglin]

Great video. I think it was nicely done; Quick, concise and to-the-point without any unnecessary fluff. I recently started using Raycast. Do you happen to know if there is a way to use the File Search function such that is shows matching folder names, similar to how Alfred shows them when you do a search? Thx.

[@stevedylandev]

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻 Raycast does have a "Search Files" command that will allow you to search either the names of files or folders on your system. At the moment it does not have a way to filter your results to just folders, although it would be nice. On the flip side, thanks to Raycast's dev platform, there is a third party extension exclusively for folder searching! www.raycast.com/GastroGeek/folder-search

[@Jbiglin]

@@stevedylandev Great! Thanks so much for that info!

[@AdiGoldsteinComposer]

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@stevedylandev]

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

[@net_nomad]

well I was shocked seeing your Subscribers number, nice production quality.

[@stevedylandev]

Thank you so much!! Means a ton 🙏🏻

[@Jdunn-v2u]

Great video! Just found Alfred and am attempting to compare. Looks like raycast might be a better option as a developer!

[@stevedylandev]

I was too actually until I got Raycast; personally think it’s much more suitable for developers because of the plugin ecosystem!

Cool tips, I use it a lot for currency exchange calculations

[@stevedylandev]

Thank you!! 🙏🏻 It’s amazing for stuff like that, especially with the extension store 🎉

[@athiban94]

I see you have a cool alacritty terminal. Can you show us your setup please?

[@stevedylandev]

Thank you! 🙏🏻 Its changed a bit over the year but you can see my setup here: github.com/stevedylandev/dotfiles

[@CPAHallTalk]

Well done! You know I love Raycast.

[@stevedylandev]

You know it!! 😁

[@gelbander]

Are you still using a tile manager and which one do u use/used?

[@stevedylandev]

I was using Yabai but switched to Raycast window management not too long ago due to how buggy Yabai was

[@CalvinVadivelu]

Hey just got raycast yesterday, yea finding a lot of ways raycast has been helping as a software eng. I'm actually kind of interested in that tiling window manager you referenced. Been trying to find the perfect window manager lately and kind of struggling. Any recommendations?

[@stevedylandev]

Glad to hear you're finding raycast useful! 🔥 In the video I used Yabai, but not too long after I stopped using it from buggy performance :/ I hear others have had better success since then. Nowadays I just use Raycast's builtin window management and MacOS spaces to manage my flow. Hopefully will film a video on this soon!

[@wardonwords]

Well done.

[@matejatrikich97]

I use raycast to pop confetti after successful demo! 😂

[@Kitze]

great vid! what's your camera setup, it looks clean af!

[@stevedylandev]

Thank you!! 🙏🏻 I use a Fujifilm XE-4 with their 23mm f/2 lens with some editing and colorgrading in Final Cut Pro :)

[@billybobbrown81]

What is your screen recording program?

[@stevedylandev]

I believe when I filmed this it was just clean shot, and I used Final Cut Pro to edit in my b roll. Nowadays I use screen.studio; much easier

[@nikkirosety]

Thanks!

[@raycastapp]

👏

[@johnmokos9610]

What is the tilling window manager u use on the Mac ?

[@stevedylandev]

Yabai! I’ve seen then stopped using it, got too buggy :/ Now I just use the MacOS built in workspaces and Raycast window management

[@johnmokos9610]

@@stevedylandevthanks 👍🏻

[@RustyBrakes]

Great video, I can't wait for Raycast to come to Windows. I'm trying to get Flow Launcher to emulate half of this but it's a bit of a brute to work with

[@SpencerLundgren]

What tiling window manager are you using on Mac?

[@stevedylandev]

I think at the time of this video I might have been using Yabai. I don’t use it anymore, got too glitchy. These days I use Tmux and the built in window manager from Raycast. Hoping to do another video soon of my dev workflow that will show some of that :)

[@SpencerLundgren]

Makes sense, I tried Yabai for a while but was also disappointed by how glitchy it was. That would be cool to see. I also use Tmux, and currently use hammerspoon for window management/switching. It would be interesting to see if raycast can switch monitor focus with a keyboard shortcut (without moving current windows to other screens).

[@stevedylandev]

@@SpencerLundgren Hopefully will have something up soon! Unfortunately Raycast doesn't support focus switching, with either windows or displays. Thankfully I'm pretty much a 1 monitor user with multiple spaces that I switch between. Works for now! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Great video!❤

Thanks fam!! :) 🙏🏻

"weird metric to standard systems" ... really showing Americanism here.

[@scottbrady4472]

Shame on those entitled American.

[@moonlad3835]

great vid on a great app!

[@pquodling]

Metric to "Standard" - you do realize that the Metric is the standard for 95% of the world.

[@stevedylandev]

More like those who have been to the moon vs those who have not ;) Joking but yes slip of the tongue

[@JoshPeterson]

That's what they're called. Relax
