http://perpetual.education is a design/programming school. We like to be part of the discussion over here at Dev.to / We have time-slots for free conversations for career advice IRL : )
For the most part - we use it like spotlight - but it's just much better. Not sure why... spotlight just has crappy search like macOS. It has a ton of cool stuff - but we use it for 2 main things: command+shift+a opens a little terminal-like field that lets us find anything really fast / like the command pallet in a text editor - so, we use the mouse a lot less. and - we have some power-pack license that comes with a clipboard history. So, we have a list of everything we've copied with command+shift+c - and that saves us soooo much time and frustration.
That sounds awesome!
I did try Tower and Transmit for a while but personally like the alternatives out there more.
As for Alfred, I've seen it around often, never got around to installing it myself, does it make a huge impact?
