Just what absolutely no one needed: another locked down and non web platform with horrific security that tries to digitally enslave people just the tiniest level above what they can accept now. I don’t see any future where raycast can survive and i would say its a good thing.

I understand some of the skepticism towards this product, but are you saying this will somehow negatively impact Raycast (the company)? Raycast the tool is incredibly useful, so I'm surprised to see this sentiment.

Looking forward to trying this out and see how this differs from more manual approaches. One thing that stands out is an included store for public/private distribution — that’s super convenient given the cumbersome (and maybe, horrific) process that is the app store submission.

So it looks like they’re creating their own App Store within the app? At least it’s kept separate from official apps. But also how is that not a security nightmare Apple won’t allow?

This looks super fun, actually.

I wonder what it is actually building. Tauri apps, maybe?

One would think it must otherwise there are all these issues with compiling, signing tc if they don’t have xcode installed etc. I would guess it’s some webview wrapper with a layer to expose desktop app functionality

Or it’s compiled in the cloud?

It is interesting how so many different companies end up converging to some sort of AI coding.

Raycast -> Glaze AirTable -> Lovable Competitor Retool -> Lovable Competitor

Even those early in the journey are converging towards coding.

Have had good results on MacOS just using codex (or your cli of choice).

Have it create a swift app, unless extended permissions are needed it can compile withouy going into xcode.

Few simple util apps, disk cleaner, clipboard manager. Worked pretty well.

Had better results than using xcode's built in ai extension.

There seem to be more AI app building platforms than actual apps being built these days.

The “S” in “Glaze” stands for “security”.

Makes sense to me. It's a marketing page. Know your audience.

They'd need another 30 full time devs for that.

I can't imagine trusting these apps with access to my camera, file system or any other sensitive permissions.
