Currently the Applications section only searches specific hardcoded paths for Applications
see: https://github.com/ziulev/spotter/blob/7e71d72c4da230d4f1af896a6d89f36df699b180/src/core/helpers.ts#L49-L54

Supporting at least ~/Applications would be an improvement. However, it should look everywhere like Spotlight and Alfred do, and have exclude paths to ignore certain apps.

This may also fix #56

Hey @exiva 👋
check 1.0.2-beta.4 please

@ziulev doesn't seem to be working, not seeing anything being picked up in ~/Applications I think maybe the wrong build got uploaded? The spotify and terminal plugins aren't in Contents/Resources/assets/src/plugins

🤔

Closing here?

Perhaps having paths outside of the default /Applications be user configurable would be beneficial?

Makes sense, but I would prefer to get back to this question in the context of another task about settings.

Sounds good. Didn't know it was there too. Closing now.
