I used Reverse Engineer Anything to re-create raycast on @omarchy. And I was blown away! In just a couple hours I have a fully-functioning raycast-like launcher! Right now it: * Learns your habits * Apps + every Omarchy action in one search * Aliases & favorites * Keyboard-first * Follows your Omarchy theme live, opens in ~40ms repo: github.com/typecraft-dev/oma…

Very nice! looks like a perfect project for AI. I think Raycast has an extension system... do you have plans to allow compatible ones to be used like Tinycast?

Imagine it didn’t take it much though, isn’t Raycast a react + electron app?

mostly swift on the mac os app. I'm sure its pretty straightforward (I'm not cloning photoshop, for example). but this was a fun experiment!

If we could get this as a part of omarchy by default, that'd be pretty sick... or ya know, if raycast want to ship for linux.

This alone would unlock it where many mac folks would want to switch to Omarchy

I'm definitely going to need to take this for a test run.

At this point this whole decompilation trend feels more like cracking warez to me.

Here you go github.com/cpreston321/omala… and github.com/cpreston321/omala… copy some of the code so you don’t have to redo it all. I forked it to add clipboard, emoji and layout designer.

Nice! Why not put it through the plugin ecosystem and please call it OmaRay, there's already 3 OmaCasts there...

What about plugins? Should we port over plugins we liked/used or can existing plugins work?

i would definitely use this over the default omarchy launcher

this is sick, in a couple hours lol. i'm on raycast on mac but this on my omarchy pc would be insane

vicinae does this for my "arch btw", interested to see this on my omarchy laptop for sure.

Omg, I needed this. Thats one of the things I missed in Omarchy. Does it have quick links?
