Even though Raycast didn't directly help me code Modoki, it's been absolutely essential for my productivity workflow: shortcuts, snippets, Raycast Focus: I rely on it daily. I genuinely can't imagine using my Mac without Raycast anymore.

Building DockFlow wouldn't have been the same without Raycast. From quick shortcuts to running scripts in a flash – Raycast kept my workflow laser-focused. If you're a builder who values speed + minimalism, Raycast is a no-brainer. Thank you for making such a powerful tool 🙌

Use Raycast AI (Claude 3.7 Sonnet) was a game-changer for this project. It helped craft clear documentation, optimize code, and solve complex integration challenges. The AI assistant's ability to understand context and provide precise solutions significantly accelerated development and improved the final product.
