As you mentioned you like Alfred, why did you choose to build a standalone app as opposed to an Alfred extension? Since you use Electron: spinning up a browser every time I need a quick-launch bar seems a little overkill.

Anyway, the UI looks very neat! Starred the repo and will try playing with it.

Thank you for your reply! Indeed, creating an extension for Alfred or Raycast would be better. However, personally, I feel that it may not be fast enough since it would require some command prompts to enter the question and answer mode. As for Electron, I agree with what you said. Although I haven't observed too many lagging issues at the moment, the current app package size has already reached 90MB...
