Moving from RayCast to TinyCast 0 ▲ Avil Page 56 days ago · Tech · hide · Fediverse post I have been using RayCast from ~4 years. I built 2 extensions, ~20 custom scripts, contributed to existing extensions. I raised support tickets related to automating RayCast exports & settings. Unfortunately, there was no good resolution. FOSS Alternatives When looking at open source alternatives I stumbled on Vicinae, RustCast long back but they were not drop in replacements. Recently TinyCast came out and I am using it as a primary launcher on one of the Mac. It is working well as a drop-in replacement so far without any major issues. It is just ~6MB(Raycast ~250MB) app and consumes ~60MB RAM (RayCast ~600MB). Software as Moat With AI, it is getting easy to build & customise software. There is a growing trend where users are shifting towards open source alternatives(since I am in FOSS space, I might be biased). If you think software only is a moat, it is time to re-think again!
