It’s time to expand our horizons in the text expander realm with Espanso! Today we have Federico Terzi on stage to present his project, a cross-platform text expander entirely written in Rust 🦀.

If you’re into automating every workflow, you probably know how crucial a text expander can be in helping you. Espanso is much more than a simple text expander, with support for complex patterns, forms, regexes and even a Hub where you can share your patterns with others!

I’m sure you’re going to love it! Enjoy the show 👨‍🍳
