In this supper club episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk with Thomas Mann about Raycast - an app that can replace Spotlight on your Mac, and do so much more.
FireHydrant - Sponsor Incidents are hard. Managing them shouldn’t be. FireHydrant makes it easy for anyone in your organization to respond to incidents efficiently and consistently. Intuitive, guided workflows provide turn-by-turn navigation for incident response, while thoughtful prompts and powerful integrations capture all of your incident data to drive useful retros and actionable analytics.
