Super interesting! Would be amazing to get support for https://www.home-assistant.io
How is this different than something like Zapier for Alfred?

@pierrickgt I love the comparison Pierrick, thanks for asking! I am a big fan of Alfred, and huge user of Zapier. For now I just focus to create an experience where users can control their home straight from their keyboard without stopping what they're doing. You could do a workflow with Alfred but with more setup time; also your devices will be mixed with files, bookmarks and apps, etc. which can be confusing. The idea of the V2 is to integrate IFTTT and Zapier inside Lazy to avoid creating webhooks. I wanted to have the users’ feedback before building that V2, and do something that matters for them!

@pierrickgt I kind of wish this were just a really polished Alfred extension.
Awesome idea, and love the design of your launch. Can't wait to try this at home!
@thibautdavoult Awesome Feedback Thibaut. Thanks a lot! I hope you’ll enjoy the experience 🤓 Just ping me if any trouble!
Hey @demtzu great launch mate! Love the way you introduce the product to your users on the site. Everything's is informative and to-the-point and definitely loved the video (what did you use to make it?). I'll give it a try on my home and let you know :)
@juanpablosarmi So glad you like it Juan! Thank you for the lovely comment 😍 Regarding the video I partly used Screenspace studio from dfanton - great tool!
Ok feel free to ping me if I can assist you when you're home :)
Congrats on the launch @demtzu ! Looks awesome. Also, I love the video - could you share how you created it?
Such a lovely comment Orhan. Thank you. Regarding the video you give me a great opportunity to recommend ScreenSpace Studio from @dfanton I highly recommend that tool, very easy to manage if you have no video editing skills!
@josselinco Very flattering feedback. Thanks a lot Josselin. Regarding the 3D assets I feel that either we love them, or we hate them. There is no half measure. Glad to read you are not on the haters side 😬
I discovered Lazy this Summer in my cowork. @demtzu showed up and he had a pretty nifty way to turn on his fan. This caught my attention and I asked him to show me how he did it, using just his keyboard. He could control all kinds of stuff: vacuum, curtains, coffee machine, lights… I was amazed by what he could do with keyboard shortcuts to save time at home and at the office. I thought it could be very useful for people here, not necessarily for IoT geeks but also devs or just productive hackers. For instance, Lazy allows me to deploy a side project I have through Netlify with one easy shortcut. I think you will find that Lazy adapts very nicely to some of your workflows. Curious to see what others uses people come up with!
Thanks so much @thomgroutars for hunting Lazy! 🙏
Hello World. I am excited to be here and strangely a bit anxious as well!
I built Lazy to let anyone control their IoT devices and services from one place, thanks to one easy shortcut.
I can literally spend hours on creating an automation that will save me a fraction of a second a day.
I concede, it is not the most efficient use of my time but anyone who’s obsessed with productivity tools like me will understand. It’s not so much about saving time that it is about the gratifying pleasure of knowing that everything works as you set out to do.
This time I felt that using my smartphone to trigger my devices would often end up with me losing my precious flow... I started thinking that it would be more efficient to use my keyboard. So I solved the problem with the Lazy command line.
Of course, It's not complicated on smartphones, for example on iPhone the Shortcut app is perfect to put your webhooks and use your smartphone as a remote control.
But when you are coding, writing an email or working on an important topic on your laptop you do not want to go and take your smartphone to turn on the lights for instance. Also, I do not know about you but when I am deep in work, I do not want my smartphone to be close to me because it can easily distract me with useless notifications. I needed a way to activate my connected objects without breaking my flow.
If you are interested by the behind scene of Lazy : I tell the full story in this post :https://medium.com/@ahmedmen/wha....
You will find the hacks I learned along the way, and how I automated domestic chores.
I hope it will give you some inspiration on how to use Lazy and how to be more productive at home. Here is also a few examples on how Lazy people use it : https://www.lazy-app.com/usecase...
I would love to hear your quick (or extensive) feedback =) Please have a play around with it!
@thomgroutars @ahmedmen @demtzu This app and your story speaks to me. Didn't realize I wanted something like this until I read this post. Thank you for making this and you keep doing you!
@jijosunny Thanks Jijo, but It's me who congrats you! I'll be in SF soon, would be a pleasure to have a coffee with THE coffee guy :)
@thomgroutars @ahmedmen @school_4_ants James, thank you very much for your lovely comment, it means a lot to me!
Extend Spotlight and you’ll have a winner (so I can control it with Siri from my iMac, MacBook Pro, IPhone and iPad Pro).
I already know more keyboard shortcuts and interfaces than I care... It’s not about to learn alfred, yours or anyone’s else’s short cut interface.
@entreprenewer Hey Jonathan -- I'm curious, what feature do you use most with Quicksilver?
@aaron_kazah Thanks a lot Aaron! How things are going with Collapsed 2.0? I wanna learn from failed startups :)
Being lazy, exactly what i need.
Thanks for making this! Congratulations on the launch
@fajarsiddiq haha Fajar you're probably the most active maker in the place, difficult to imagine you lazy! :) Appreciate your feedback mate, keep up your awesome work with your podcast 🔥
@deadcoder0904 You said it! As this good old Bill Gates says : "I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it." 🤓
