Love this use case (cc ):
not taking away from Alfred, but if you use OS X's built-in text replace, it carries over to your other devices. I add a / then whatever. So I can ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and ﴾͡๏̯͡๏﴿ all over the place
OS X's shortcuts only work in native (safari, mail etc...) apps.
I use them everywhere, from Facebook to Tweetbot to Snapchat to Day One to even Clash of Clans. The only app I use across desktop+mobile that blocks them is Slack, and since I start many of my own replacements with / I have a double-whammy against me there. Edit: I should add that Chrome is one of the apps that doesn't play friendly with it, and Slack (desktop) is a wrapper of Electron which is based on Chromium, afaik.
text replacement is working on slack desktop app, you should enable this, not avaiable in chrome though.
OSX has built in text replacement? Can't believe I didn't know.

So excited for the new release of Alfred! The new Workflow editor looks like it'll make programming your Mac to do your bidding so much better! There's also new snippet expansion, multimedia clipboard, better theming and more.
Awesome ! New Clipboard history is great too !
This looks really awesome!
Yeah, I've been using the beta and, sadly (for them), I think it might replace TextExpander
Alfred3 = Zapier for your Mac!

perfect description!
Did this just release? I just bought the Powerpack a couple days ago
If you bought the power pack any time after January 1st, 2016 you get a free upgrade to Alfred 3 power pack.
Oh man... bought my power pack literary at the end of November. Sucks. 😡
I think it will be free upgrade to you

Upgrading to the Mega Supporter license would mean you never have to buy an upgrade again ;)
One of the best reasons to use a Mac
Alfred is the bee's knees.. the cat's pajamas.. understand? Download it. Get the Powerpack. Do it. Do it now.

I cannot imagine how to use Mac without it. Finding apps by name is more convenient for me that do it with standard ways that iOS provides

Pros:

Very simple UI, easy to use, speed up my navigation through the many opened apps.

Cons:

None

This looks like an amazing release. The workflow editor looks great! I wonder if there are any plans for a directory or repository of pre-made workflows. Would definitely use 🙌
Power pack is free upgrade for those purchased in 2016
I have been supporting Alfred since the beginning. They have done a wonderful job with this app and I think everybody should download it and use it. If you use Font Awesome, do yourself a favor and find the Font Awesome workflow.
to me it embodies everything an app should be: clear interface with no bells and whistles, extremely functional, bugs free as far as I'm concerned, AND incredible customer support. Can't recommend it enough.
I use Alfred since day one. This is one of the apps that I don't mind paying for an upgrade. Whenever a new Mac comes to my hands, it is the first app I install. I even install it on friends' Macs. Awesome!
