   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

  I use a tool called "Espanso" to accomplish something similar at work. It only runs locally, so no weird data scraping issues to worry about. And it's easy to update as things changes becauase everything lives in a simple yml file. https://espanso.org/ It can do simple text replacement, so I have words, phrases, and sentences I use frequently compressed into a few keyboard clicks. It can also grab what is in your... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Compile Python applications into stand-alone executables

  Not OP but my experience trying out nuitka vs PyInstaller on atbswp[0] is nuitka takes significantly longer (and CPU time) to run and in my case the resulting executable wasn't working, it was because I use wxPython or some hidden import in my dependencies, I don't remember exactly. Bottom-line I think nuitka is great if you (or your dependencies) does not do black magic in the imports, otherwise you're in for a... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
