has anyone out there in my socials ever built an "Open Quickly…" UI?

i've been looking over Xcode's Open Quickly UI and it's… interesting.

and i've been contrasting it to the Spotlight Cmd-Space UI. also interesting.

they look pretty similar. and they behave mostly the same. but there are tons of quirks in both. and not the same.

just curious if anyone's built a canonical version of this sort of UI. otherwise i'm afraid i'm heading down a world of custom UI hurt and i just can't even.

@isaiah I maintain and use this: https://github.com/CleanCocoa/FloatingFilter

Very basic interactions, though, because cool stuff like "drilling into" items is an edge case I haven't needed to implement

@isaiah I'm overhauling and improving things in about a year or so, maintenance updates only until then. Happy to adapt the package, though!

@ctietze i’m not positive i’ll end up using it as-is.

i may just use it as an example to see how someone else navigated the challenges.

but even there it’s great to have something to refer to.

but i promise to report/fix/pull-req anything strange.
