Summary
- #Started GitHub/codekiln/kebricide, a c74/M4L patch to cut up samples
- #Started GitHub/codekiln/macos-system-settings-zsh-completions, a Zsh/OhMyZsh/Plugin to offer autocomplete on system settings and the ability to open certain system settings up
- While on this side-quest, worked a bit towards understanding how CursorAI/Agent works, as I was iterating with trying out things in the shell in a way that felt a bit too manual.
- Worked on using ComfyUI to create a Cinemagraph, using the #Tutorial ComfyUI/Tutorial/AutoCinemagraph ComfyUI Guide.
- #Learned one can't nest model checkpoints inside subfolders; they must be at the top level in order to be found by the system.
- #Learned about Lora/Motion; picked out but didn't try Smoke Motion Loras - 1100 steps | Stable Diffusion Motion | Civitai. Discovered more about Civitai, which has a confusing user account creation process that uses Slack-style "email-only" authentication with no passwords.
- Only got it to generate black images; no real results yet.

How Many Apps Did Raycast Replace For You? : r/macapps Reddit/macapps
- comment from Competitive_Jump4281
- I'm a big fan of Raycast. But I've also said I'm skeptical of the business model and I know from this sub and the Raycast community slack that I'm not alone. I've actually been replacing some of the apps you mentioned with a newer contender in Monarch. It's by a solo dev but it's very clear to me that he's prioritizing the true depth that actually could be called "replacement".
- Just one example is that I copy links to youtube videos and news articles all the time, and in Raycast you can't search by the video title or description at all. In Monarch you can, plus you can filter clipboard items by application which is hard to live without once you have it. I feel like Raycast doesn't just care about depth like that.
- So ironically, I've been gradually replacing Raycast with Monarch. I use Raycast for some extensions and AI, but given that he's currently working on Monarch AI (what I assume will be just like Raycast AI), I am very interested in seeing how it plays out.
- I will say: his speed of development and looking at his github seems like he's a high risk of burnout, and the CEO of Raycast has been suddenly been posting a lot more "coming soon" videos for Raycast AI. Hoping the dev holds up, but consistency is consistency. I bought a second license yesterday, what's one month of Raycast Pro.
- Still have Raycast + Pro (for now) for these things:
- Will be trying the Kill Process though, that extension should be for me but I just can't ever remember to use it. Same with Homebrew. I feel like they're popular for a reason, but the UI of those extensions in particular just doesn't bring me back.
