I'm an avid user of Alfred and have ended up creating loads of custom web searches over the years. I decided to publish my list of searches using Pory so others could benefit (and contribute to!) from my efforts. I also decided to create custom icons for each of these web searches because I wanted them to look good in the Alfred Themes that I design: Also, this is my 2500th hunt (!!), which happens to coincide with @rrhoover's last day as CEO of Product Hunt and to commemorate both milestones, you can use code 'rrhoover' to get 70% off my icons. Update: I've now disabled this discount. Thanks for everyone that bought a set! Would love your feedback and any suggestions for icons or searches that I should add!

I reinstalled Alfred after seeing yet another tweet of you 2 weeks ago but I still haven't used it ๐Ÿ˜…. Custom search is a good way to start using Alfred for me, so I bought the set.

@sowenjub sweet! If you have questions about how to use Alfred, LMK. The learning curve is a bit steep but it's very rewarding once you get the hang of it!
