  • Hey hey!

    This weekend I hacked together a quick command bar for Google Calendar. There are so many "Superhuman for Calendar" startups, but I don't really care about anything except the ⌘-k bar, so I just built a really good implementation myself.

    It's already a way better Command Bar than most existing command bars from Superhuman or Raycast because it uses a LLM to do some of the parsing.

    I did the overlay using a Chrome extension [1]. So I called it "Lui" (Language User Interface) and I'm going to make it work for more sites like Webflow, Mixpanel, Typeform and even Jira. What Lui's do you want to see?

    My ambition is to make the web as wonderful to use as the terminal (once you've learned it, of course). But there's a reason GUI killed DOS, it's just super unforgiving. I think my Lui fixes that problem.

    Chrome has yet to approve my app so you can't download it yet but if you put in your email I'll send you the `dist` so you can load it unpacked. I'm also consider open-sourcing some of it if people are interested, since I can't possibly build all the Lui's myself so other people should.
