Pot să vibecodez TextExpander?
// se construiește într-un weekend, dar rămân goluri reale
The core loop is buildable, but a dependable replacement becomes a real weekend or multi-day project. For TextExpander, expand local text snippets from abbreviations with forms and simple variables. The hard boundary is cross-platform apps, team libraries, sync, analytics, and enterprise administration, plus os integration polish and maintenance.

Promptul
Un weekend cu un agent de coding. Golurile care rămân sunt mai jos, la „ce pierzi”.
Build a personal replacement for TextExpander in an empty repository.
Use Swift 6, SwiftUI, AppKit where necessary, SQLite, and the macOS Keychain; do not offer alternative stacks.
The core loop is: build one focused macOS utility that expands local text snippets from abbreviations with forms and simple variables, exposes keyboard-first controls, and stores settings locally.
Make the first run work locally with one documented command.
Store all user data locally by default and make export straightforward.
Put secrets in .env, ship .env.example, and never commit credentials.
Create a menu-bar app with a searchable command window and global hotkey.
Implement only the primary feature and one settings screen instead of a plugin platform.
Request permissions just in time and explain why each is needed before opening System Settings.
Store configuration locally, support export or import, and never capture unrelated user content.
Add launch-at-login, update-check opt-in, diagnostics export, and a complete uninstall note.
Write unit tests for transformation logic and one UI test for the core keyboard workflow.
Include clear empty, loading, success, and recoverable error states.
Add input validation, safe filenames, and graceful handling of unavailable APIs.
Write focused tests for the core transformation and one end-to-end happy path.
Create a README with setup, architecture, permissions, data location, and backup steps.
Do not add accounts, billing, telemetry, analytics, or a hosted control plane.
Deliberately leave out a third-party extension marketplace.
Deliberately leave out cloud accounts and cross-device sync.
Deliberately leave out broad automation that executes untrusted scripts.
Finish by running the tests and listing the exact commands used. Prompt generat din datele fișei, încă nerevizuit manual. În engleză intenționat — e limba în care agenții de coding se descurcă cel mai bine.
Ce pierzi
- cross-platform apps, team libraries, sync, analytics, and enterprise administration
- years of OS-version edge cases
- large extension ecosystem
- cross-device sync
- commercial support and rapid compatibility fixes
De ce se plătește în continuare
People still pay for TextExpander because small utilities are technically reproducible, but customers pay for polish and immediate fixes when an OS update breaks a daily habit. The recurring cost buys permissions, accessibility APIs, sandboxing, signing, notarization, OS regressions, updates, backups, and support, not just the visible interface.

Respinse (2) — și de ce
- Raycast Free (si apre in una nuova scheda) — A fine free snippet expander, but forms and richer fill-ins are not really there.
- Text Blaze (si apre in una nuova scheda) — The free tier is a demo-sized snippet set; full forms and dynamic rules are paid.
