Raycast (YC W20) | Fully Remote, UTC timezone (London) ± 3 hours) | Full Time | https://raycast.com
Raycast is a productivity tool for developers that makes it easy to control your tools with simple command bar interface (think of it as macOS Spotlight for developers). We're looking for engineers (macOS and fullstack), developer advocate and a designer to help us with building API platform[1] that will allow everyone to build and publish extensions in Raycast.
For Mac users, who's looking for deeper integration with GitHub, we've built an extension in Raycast [1] that allows you to see pull requests, issues, notifications, workflows, etc. Repository search is also something we're planning to add soon.
Nice, consistent design system and guidance is definitely something we want to have for the future platform. Thanks for pointing out to Shopify Polaris, looks very interesting!
We want to open it up as soon as possible. The main reason behind the private beta is that integrations such as Jira are fairly complex due to different setups and a lot of customisation so currently we're in the process of "onboard new company -> fix bugs -> try again" and so on. It's getting better on each iteration and as soon it reaches certain level of stability on the integrations side, we're going too open it up to everyone.
Yeah, Linear is a great tool and has an amazing UX, though as you correctly noticed they are building standalone issue tracking tool while we're building an app that sits on top of other web apps allowing you to use them without going to a browser.
Fair point and I absolutely agree, VSCode has some great integrations with other services and in fact solves similar problem of context switching. However there are quite a lot of people that don't use VSCode, not to mention you're not always in your IDE when you need to perform these tasks.
Having said that we want to explore some ideas where we integrate deeper with IDEs like VSCode and provide commands based on the context (e.g. provide documentation search based on the coding language, suggest filing a task for TODO comments, etc).
Good idea! That is definitely something we want to explore in the future (giving a CLI for Raycast integrations on top of main app functionality), especially if people will be asking for this.
