We already had https://fig.io/ and while it isn't officially open source, their obfuscating efforts (at least on linux) are very pathetic to the point where they might have as well just put it up on github.
Oh and a huge negative is that they have been recently aquired by amazon. I don't know whether thats worse than microsoft.
It's worse. Fig is a freemium product that aims to get you on a subscription model. This all but guarantees enshittification. Also fig is currently Mac only. The UI is also kinda gauche
I've been using it on Linux for over a year as a beta tester. It's in the AUR.
Last I saw you have to sign up for their waitlist. Didn’t realize you could install from aur. Do you need an account or does it just work after installing?
Ah my bad, I think you are right.
You have to log in.
Fig looks really cool, but it's Mac only
