So… could I one-shot a Glaze competitor? ;)

More seriously, what do you believe your moat is here?

Sales are about distribution, they have a channel. This "moat" thing matters to unestablished start-ups a lot more. We should apply context while copy pasting arguments.
This just means that the existing sales channel would be their moat. Which can be a valid argument, though I don't remember having heard of Raycast before, so it isn't obvious to me. I was interested in hearing what they see as their moat here.
There will probably be a few of these like TextEditors. I already built this and have features in mind that I’m not sure Glaze is thinking of.
Moat? Maybe they built something they wanted?
They also plan on having their own app store where you publish these glaze apps and maybe they charge commission for paid apps down the line?
Sure, but from the FAQ, “Paid plans start at $20/month”.
