OK, we put the finishing touches on the Linux client and it's now available for download. We still have some fit & finish things to improve upon, but it should be quite functional. We are new to this, so don't hesitate to reac

We are lucky to be a funded company with 5 people and couple of years of runway. A pen test costs half the monthly salary of an engineer, so it’s an easy investment to rationalize on a quarterly basis.

You are right - the “control-your-computer” functionality is currently a subset of Alfred, but we are working on bridging that gap. Most people use Alfred in limited ways, and we tried to cover those hot paths. However, we are still working

That's a really neat idea to be able to search logs quickly. We definitely support building custom commands, but they are super limited today. We have to build the sophisticated commands ourselves. However, we will be opening up our to

Quest looks cool. I just downloaded and started playing with it - well done. Today, we write the integrations ourselves. We will eventually open up our APIs so people can build their own integrations to extend Slapdash. If you have ideas or

Exactly right. I have my command set up to open this URL: vscode://file/<ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_YOUR_DIR> The "file" above is important, first time I set it up I missed it and it didn't work correctly.

What do you mean by local installation? Certain products have a desktop app counterpart. For example, Notion, Trello, Figma, etc. Slapdash is aware of those applications and when possible will opt to open things inside the desktop app vs a

We don't take security lightly, but we don't do a good job articulating how we safeguard things in the product. We'll fix this - thanks for pushing on it. There are details throughout this post, but I will summarize our high-

The reason some apps are not removed after you connect them is that you can connect more than one account. For example, you can connect multiple G-Drive accounts. That said, it's definitely confusing in its current form, so thanks for

Our onboarding is quite under solved, thanks for putting up with it. If you think of Slapdash as sort of an OS, today Spaces are kind of like folders. You can build them manually, or with rules (a saved query). It's a means of organiza

Yes, it's almost ready. You can actually download a linux build from: https://download.slapdash.com/ The one thing we have left is fixing auth. We auth in the browser and then open the desktop app to pass the auth toke

Both Slapdash and Command E can search apps, but Slapdash can do other things too: * You can also write to applications, it's not just read-only (create docs, file issues, close tasks, upload files, etc.) * You can browse the structure

Thanks for the feedback. At the moment, the easiest way to unlock functionality is to connect an app. We will be building a lot of the interesting commands to start, so there should be no work required and should help the "blank canvas
