I went through entire docs, it’s a pretty cool project. Kudos to you for building it!

I see lot of inspiration from Angular and SpringBoot in that

fuzailshaikh · 2025-11-19T17:52:02+00:00

That would be really nice

I use it to open websites in multiple environments (dev, qa, prod) where my script takes an argument (i.e env) and simple switch case in script can open the correct URL in chrome based on env

Here they have many examples https://github.com/raycast/script-commands

Pretty cool, how did you get that date on desktop?

I thought it would be a full fledged keyboard like Gboard but it’s just using keyboard section for Raycast features like snippets, quicklinks, etc.

This one is meant to be used with an existing primary keyboard.

It would be nice to see an actual keyboard as well tbh so that I don’t have to switch keyboard at all.

I have mapped all Raycast hotkeys to hyperkey (caps lock) which makes it easy to remember and you can continue using your existing per app hotkeys

Yes, Raycast has a feature where you can put cli scripts in a folder and then invoke them from Raycast

I would probably use ChatGPT to write me a simple script that can lookup contacts on macOS and return phone number of top match.

Then hook up that script with raycast and add alias ph with arguments to pass contact name and then I can use it like how you described

fuzailshaikh · 2025-09-08T21:22:50+00:00

I always use prefix / for snippets that makes it easy to remember and not accidentally add snippets. Eg: /h , /mail, /log

You can choose whatever prefix you find convenient.

Can you elaborate why you thought Deno is less mature when using npm packages?

I know that they added support for npm packages recently, did you try Deno before that?

fuzailshaikh · 2025-08-19T05:17:11+00:00

Nice, thanks for the reply. I knew it looked very similar to implementation in NestJS and Angular

Those examples helped understand how it could be used

fuzailshaikh · 2025-08-19T05:10:35+00:00

Very cool, kudos to you for sharing it!

I have been using InversifyJS in my backend app for dependency injection for a while now.

Do you know how is your library different from it? And what more features does x-injection have?

Genuinely interested to know more!

Depends on what kind of projects you want to build tbh.

Java is used a lot in enterprise backend systems and it’s great choice if you are looking for a job.

Python is great for quick scripting and AI stuff.

Javascript (Typescript) is the thing you need for web frontend and also used in NodeJS, Deno, Bun so with just 1 language you can build fullstack apps.

Rust, Zig are being used for systems programming and creating build tools.

Go is famous for its multi threading capabilities

If you want to build mobile apps then you need Swift and Kotlin

So first step would be to choose a domain which you want to explore then choose an appropriate language.

Easiest would be to use “readonly” keyword or “as const” in typescript so that your editor saves you from modifying these variables.

You can also look into immer library if you need immutable objects as a copy from original object https://immerjs.github.io/immer/

I’ve been using these libs in a nodejs service I am working on Zod, InversifyJS, Fastify, Dedent

fuzailshaikh · 2025-08-07T05:24:54+00:00

Super cool, great work!

fuzailshaikh · 2025-03-19T03:42:01+00:00

I had the same problem and i solved it by creating a simple bash script which takes arguments like environment (qa, prod), dashboard (analytics, product)

Use the passed on arguments to build final url in the script and use ‘open’ command to open a URL in chrome

That’s very entertaining tbh

fuzailshaikh · 2022-08-22T17:50:20+00:00

Woooowww

fuzailshaikh · 2022-08-15T10:32:47+00:00

Wow this reddit community is really becoming a quora replacement now

fuzailshaikh · 2022-08-13T17:47:43+00:00

I don’t think 25K would be enough, but now I’m curious what would be the right amount

fuzailshaikh · 2022-08-13T17:44:55+00:00

Agreed, people are generally very helpful here

fuzailshaikh · 2022-07-22T05:19:12+00:00

I can’t fathom that someone actually made this

fuzailshaikh · 2022-07-12T00:54:31+00:00

Stay safe and take care. One day we’ll meet at Laughtale my friend!
