What's interesting about this vs. PowerToys Run is the "extensibility" aspect. Developers can create custom extensions that users can add using winget/MS Store. This feels very similar to Raycast and is something I miss whenever I switch to Windows. I know Raycast team is working to add Windows support but it's nice to see some competition.

Docs about creating an extension: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/command-...

Release notes: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/tag/v0.90.0


If one watches the product-video, one might see Hackernews featuring. I was surprised :)


who would have guessed that we're all lurkers here too :P Hacker News isn't just for linux stans - Windows devs like to hang out here too


Thanks for adding much-needed cool things to Windows lately — the Terminal and PowerToys and now this, all super appreciated. Do you see command palette evolving and becoming a core part of Windows itself in the future? :)
