Viewing the fee as being for a volume of storage doesn't seem the right perspective. It's $1500 to lease some %age of spectrum for some period. If true Teletext on an analogue signal and broadcast vs cable, then $1500 for 0.05% of the total non-media spectrum doesn't feel like a terrible deal.
$1500 today is probably in the region of 10s of GB, sure, but that's almost a commodity volume by comparison in terms of supply.
I'm not sure I see the benefit of this over PowerToys beyond system-wide indexing for file search (which I'd want in Explorer, not a separate launcher app). Let alone the premium tiers.
- AI? What's the benefit beyond agents in more domain-specific environments (or gen-purpose site) vs native to a launcher app?
- Custom window management is available with PowerToys
- Unlimited clipboard history - I'm not sure I want or need this over PowerToys retaining it for system uptime.
- (Free?) Extension library looks a step beyond what's currently available for PowerToys' Command Palette, but will Raycast gain more Windows-focused extensions faster than Command Palette does?
Competition is good, but I don't see how this adds value as a premium service beyond PowerToys
I think the swiping back on new tab feature is a very well thought out piece of UX.
If a user taps a link that is set to open in a new window/tab, while the bottom/top (depending on user config) URL bar does animate to show the transition, the user may still expect to be able to navigate back to where they came from (especially in such a case where they haven't deliberately made the decision to open in a new tab).
I'd argue it would be worse UX for the back swipe to not navigate to the previous page in such circumstances than that it does but closes the tab (which is reasonably signalled by the URL bar animation).
That is an appropriate argument, but afaik it's along the lines of Peloton's subscription pricing. Peloton's shown there's a clearly established market that will pay that sort of price for a home fitness service.
Yeah that seems a real missed opportunity here. I’ve never seen the show but admit that old SD programmes tend to fall down the list of shows to watch.
To have the opportunity to see a high-fidelity but true-to-composition version would really pique my interest. I guess managing and serving two different versions probably isn’t straightforward, but I believe Disney already does it with The Simpsons, so perhaps one day there will be a ‘remastered’ original cut.
