   SO much better than PhraseExpress!

   This setup is a little more hands on to install and setup, but it is worth it. No weird glitches, crashing or other issues, it just a simple system works as it should.

   It doesn't have all the same features as PhraseExpress, but if you are like me and just want a text expander, they are features you will never need or use anyway.

   The setup instructions are clear and concise. They do take a minute to get your head around compared to other software installs that I am used to, but as the instructions are on point, it is not difficult.

   I am using this on macOS and will be trying it on Windows soon too.

   🏁 Competitors: PhraseExpress

   👍 Pros:    Works perfectly|Cost effective|Great, clear setup instructions

   👎 Cons:    Requries some more setup beyond the usual 'double click' and done

• Life after the merge: why publishing an Obsidian plugin is just the beginning

  Espanso is the dominant system-wide text expander — the one you reach for when you want expansion to work in any app, not just the editor you're in. It also has something Obsidian plugins almost never have: a packages ecosystem. Espanso users share package.yml files publicly, and the community has been growing that catalog for years now. Every text-expansion plugin I tried in Obsidian treated snippets as something... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• KiCad and Wayland Support

  The first google result for 'autokey wayland' is someone recommending https://espanso.org/ , that looks like it has good Wayland support. And you only need look at OBS to see screen video capture is perfectly possible on Wayland. Who is saying those are impossible use cases? I think those two apps are just not updated, that happens often with software. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
