New Category for Creating Workflows about awesome-alfred-workflows HOT 5 CLOSED

I'm actually a pretty big fan of the small things in workflows/apps like that. I would personally go the extra mile for it. But I see what you mean. I would like to document it but it is a bit niche and isn't Alfred specific. There may another list it could go on but I'm not sure which one.

I'll mark this as resolved - other items for the category can be submitted in other pull requests/issues. Thanks again for your feedback!

Sounds like a good idea. https://github.com/sindresorhus/alfy would probably fit un such a category.

Also sounds good to me. Libraries like alfred-workflow might also fit. Probably a good idea to call the category something generic like “Helpers”.

I added the initial category. @vitorgalvao I see you use a few external helpers like terminal-notifier. Would you recommend this as a helper?

Not really, as it’s likely more work than it’s worth for most people and I don’t see it used much (or at all) in workflows by other developers I respect and am sure know about terminal-notifier (short discussion on this).

For context, the only reason I use terminal-notifier (and notificator before it) is so I can provide a notification that looks native to an app with an icon that does not need to use Alfred’s icon to be present as well. I do it so often, I’ve made a script to download terminal-notifier and replace its icon. Using terminal-notifier instead of Alfred’s default notifications is considerably more work simply for a (arguably worth it) marginally better aesthetic and experience. Being a designer, that’s important to me, but I don’t really think that adds much of value to the list. The multiple language helpers/frameworks seem something much better suited.

In sum, terminal-notifier is good but not really an Alfred resource, especially since to make it worth it to include, you need to make modifications to it.
