Ok, I will try to explain this better The main power of this app is that I am not trying to compete with them. I work together with them. For example, I put my ExtraBar RayCast deeplinks into a logical menu structure so they are easy to access and remember. Instead of opening Raycast, looking for the actions, sometimes RayCast is opened on a different screen, so I need to go back, etc. I just put the most used action on the ExtraBar menu and use simple keyboard navigation to trigger it. The same goes for Keyboard Maestro. I have this Reddit post that someone posted on ExtraBar: https://www.reddit.com/r/macapps/comments/1q0aqu6/extrabar_i... That has some explanation of how he uses it, so this may be helpful to get more usecases example | ||||||||

Ok that's definitely helpful. At this point I'm not really asking questions here for you to answer on HN -- just more pointing out that these are the kinds of things your site needs to explain. What this competes with vs. what it works together with is a great angle. I assumed ExtraBar was intended to be its own all-in-one solution for executing commands. Now that you say it also works together with other utilities, that changes my perception completely. | ||||||||
