I love these! It definitely highlights the power of snippets. Since the project doesn't support sorting, filtering, etc, would you mind keeping it down to 2 AppleScripts snippets for now?

As the project scales we can have a dedicated Apple Script section and go from there, but atm I'd like this to be more a place for inspiration rather than a definite list of things.

Hi @peduarte, I've cut it down to just AppleScript Dialog and AppleScript Choose From List since they can be substitutes for most of the others.

I do think a dedicated AppleScript section would be good eventually as a lot of Raycast users use it in their script commands 😀

@SKaplanOfficial completely agree!
