Features You don't want to miss in Raycast

Overview

Raycast is spotlight substitute in MacOS

I'm certain Raycast is Much more powerful than spotlight.

Here are several super powerful features that Raycast provides.

Those will reduce repetitive tasks.

Snippets 👑

Down below is the snippets I use

Almost all application provides snippets by themselves. but, they are bound to their app context.

Raycast is not.

Usage

Do you see the words starts with @! in the small boxes? Those are keywords that triggers the snippet.

for example, Everytime I type @!nosql anywhere, pop up kicks in. Then Result would be

db.getCollection("users")
  .find({
    _id: ObjectId("658bc4929b147b07a0fc6adc"),
    _id: ObjectId("669dc93023cb0f42216862a1"),
  })
  .projection({})
  .sort({ _id: -1 })
  .limit(100);
db.getCollection("users").count();
db.getCollection("users").getIndexes();

All I type was @!nosql and users.
Awesome!

This gets really handy when you use your own infisical server.
It requires server url everytime you login.
I've set infisical server domain in snippet (@!infisical)

Github 🏅

If you're a computer developer, this is the one you want

You can search your repositories and clone them at once!

It only requires Login and nothing else.

Amazon AWS 🏅
