I love that this is cross platform.<p>When I tried to install the debian package through the Ubuntu Software Center I received this warning:<p><pre><code> The package is of bad quality

So Zazu is based on Alfred which was based on Quicksilver[1]. As someone who never left Quicksilver in the first place, what are some of the improvements that either alternative brings to the table?<p>1. <a href="https://qsapp.com/" rel="nofollow">https://qsapp.com/</a>
I've recently been enjoying using Hain, another spotlight-esque launcher like this one with more features:<p>- A built-in package manager based on NPM<p>- A visual settings editor - there's no need to edit configuration files<p>- Very fast fuzzy matching of file and program names<p>- Toast notifications and buttons<p>- An HTML-based preview pane<p>Sadly it's Windows-only for now, but there are contributors working on porting it to Linux and macOS.<p>If you're running macOS I've had success with building the feature/macos branch.<p><a href="https://github.com/appetizermonster/hain" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/appetizermonster/hain</a>
Seems really similar to Lacona ( <a href="https://www.lacona.io/" rel="nofollow">https://www.lacona.io/</a> ), which also has add-ons and it's built on React.<p>Any idea if it's based on it?
I'm a big power user of Alfred. I've created a lot of custom workflows in Alfred to automate things in macOS, such as setting up dev environments (window management) or using the Dash workflow integration. The power of Alfred is in its workflows and workflow creator. Alfred + Hammerspoon is particularly nice. (You can execute hotkeys in Alfred that trigger Hammerspoon init.lua bindings)<p>I can't tell if Zazu is just a replacement for simple app launching, or if it has the ability to do everything Alfred's workflows can do.
I have installed the latest version 0.3.2 for Ubuntu 16.04 via the Software Center, and also via Gdebi (which reported that it was already installed, but reinstalled) and I am unable to find the installation anywhere. No config files in my home directory. A search in Nautilus only finds the .deb. What am I missing? I am running Budgie desktop, if that makes a difference.

+1 for clipboard history easily searchable. I think in my workflow it's adding so
much to my personal productivy. Maybe the best productivy hack in Alfred.
This is really great! I'll have to try it out sometime.<p>I've been wanting a "replacement" for Alfred for years. Not because i dislike Alfred, i love it; But because it's a tool locking me to OSX.<p>These days i want me tools to be cross platform and a good core UX, even if that means i have to drop features. It's why i like CLI tools so much.
got it running on osx, first it didn't worked (nothing suggested), then i've restarted it and it seems to work.<p>pretty basic, but it more or less match my needs.
the only thing that i miss is the file icons or app icons:
it show you multiple match but the icons are all the same, dark, so you can't quickly disambiguate them
I love this thing so far. I recently switched to using Mint instead of OSX because I refuse to pay $2300 for a 15" MBP. I was really missing the clipboard ability of Alfred, and this is REALLY helpful.<p>Would it be possible to auto paste the clipboard result when you select it?
Seems interesting. Installed on Ubuntu 16.04 and keeps asking to update to 0.2.2 and hotkeys don't seem to work. Also crashed during a file search.
