@itsrajaramsk @peduarte You're welcome, that awesome extension was made by @FezVrasta before we had it built-in 🎉

[Per Nielsen Tikær @pertikaer]

@itsrajaramsk @peduarte It looks like you have the store extension installed (https://t.co/N1VI74wirO) and are not using the built-in version called "Search Emoji & Symbols" 🙂

@aarondfrancis I'm on 26.5 and I don't think it works correctly there 🙂

I can reproduce this. Do you mind creating a bug report through the "Send Feedback" command inside Raycast so we can keep you in the loop? 🙂

Hi there! 👋
Thank you for getting in touch. It's true that reviews can take a bit longer during the summer vacation period, but you'll always receive an instant review from our bot once you mark it as ready. I noticed that the PR has already been merged, and you received a review on the same day! If you have any outstanding issues, feel free to DM me. 😊

@agabekovd Hi 👋

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Raycast actually supports Dia in Focus, but Dia hasn't enabled scripting yet, which is why it's not working 🫠

[Per Nielsen Tikær @pertikaer]

@__Sun__ I checked the code, and all calls made are directly sent to Google's API, so authors, contributors, or other people can't access your preferences.

I can see that my colleague is handling your email; let's continue there 😊

I shared this message with the team this morning:

 Did we just get sherlocked?

Yesterday, Apple essentially built Raycast into Spotlight. Or at least, that's how it felt watching WWDC where they announced the new macOS Tahoe 26.

Taking a step back this morning, I wanted to reflect on it. We've been building for five years now, and it was never a question of if Apple would try to catch up, but when. While I didn't expect it this year, it didn't come as a surprise either.

Raycast is for power users that want to get more done with their computers. When Apple introduces millions (billions?) to clipboard history, they're creating our next users. People will run into limitations and want more from a launcher, which is where we step in. The line has moved, but this is a benefit for us.

You've probably seen tweets like declaring us dead, but you've also noticed our community's loyalty in the responses. We're seeing the fruits of years of work. Our users didn't just install a tool, they fell in love with it. This is why we focus on brand and why community matters so much.

There are also things that we can learn from Apple. The new modern Liquid Glass design with more rounded borders will feel more familiar to users. Default quick keys for system actions make it easier for people to get started. We can take inspiration from these things and build on them. That's what competition does. It pushes us to be better.

In many ways, yesterday felt like validation. Apple just told the world that launchers are the future and we've been building that future for five years. While Apple catches up to 2019 Raycast, we're already shipping 2025 Raycast. The best is yet to come.
