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.


Thanks and noted! :)


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 :(

Thanks. I will try this one too.


Your word for today: Whataboutism


isn't "whataboutism" about slightly different situation, namely when a person, as a defense, accuses their interlocutor of crimes?

situation in this thread is a bit different, it's about choices of a single person.


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...


Yes, I love it!
