Apple's new feature that just killed my startup 🀯

Hey everyone,

I hope you're all doing well! I wanted to share a story about something cool I was working on that took an unexpected turn.

I recently created a project called SearchFast. It's a search tool for macOS that works on both Intel and M series chips.

Using Next.js, Tauri, Rust, and OpenAI's GPT models, I aimed to make searching on macOS easy and smooth.

SearchFast ran quietly in the background and could be brought up with a simple

Cmd+J
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

shortcut.

It had a modern interface and smart searches that made finding information really quick. I was super proud of what I built and excited to share it.

But then, Apple announced new integrations with Cortana and ChatGPT that work across all apps.

It was pretty much what I had envisioned for SearchFast, built into macOS and supported by Apple.

While it’s a bit disappointing to see my idea overshadowed, I’m still excited about the advancements in technology.

Thanks for reading!
