Thanks John. I'm immediately excited by this project. I love the idea of alfred et. al. but there's always something lacking about them: it's difficult to do plugins, or they're done in a language I don't know, or they're not cross platform.
This ticks all my boxes (as far as I can tell) so I'm looking forward to trying it this weekend.

They aren't cross plataform, windows say is in alpha and Linux doesn't even appear
A few things to get out of the way:
- I love Alfred/Raycast/BetterTouchTool/etc
- I am not a company. This is an individual, highly-flawed passion project. Let's be kind.
- I wanted to build an Open-source, cross-platform version of these tools that focused on reusable scripts
- Linux builds exist, I don’t have the machines nor bandwidth to support them. I will need the community to step up if they feel it’s worthwhile
We use Script Kit a lot internally at egghead.io for course/transcript production, so any success beyond that is honestly just a bonus.
If there are any ideas/features/questions I can help with, the best place to ask is over on our GitHub discussions page (much easier to share code, etc).
