Launching Fig

:tada: Launching Fig

I am excited to announce that, as of today, Fig is generally available to the public for download.

With our public launch, I’d like to share a little more about Fig’s mission: who we are, what we’re doing, and what’s to come.

The terminal has barely changed since the 1970s and yet is still used every day by tens of millions of developers. Our bet is that the terminal isn’t going away any time soon. We are excited for Fig to play a part in its evolution.

:rocket: What is Fig?

Fig makes the terminal easier for beginners, more productive for advanced engineers, and more collaborative for teams.

To do this we are creating the app ecosystem for the terminal. We’ve built out a simple Javascript API (Fig.js) that makes it easy to extend your local terminal & shell with visual apps and shortcuts.

The first app built on top of the Fig platform is autocomplete. We are launching autocomplete today, but soon, we will open up our API so anyone can create their own apps.

Dang, here’s what I get on the website.

I tend to trust macOS because the application needs to ask for this kind of permission. And only after being granted, they can leverage some additional rights.
But it’s probably a bad habit :sweat_smile:

I’m… unsure what this even is actually? Not a terminal? Not a shell? What is it? And there’s no way to get it? Annoying closed-source hidden development, lol.

Well, I’ve given Fig a shot and it’s like autosuggestions from VSCode inside the terminal. In my case, it’s iTerm 2. It works like a charm, I guess it’s a virtual terminal on top of the original one because it asks for Accessibility authorization.

It’s well done I must admit.
