Spotlight in OS X should be doing this. Love how it supports complex queries like this:

@rrhoover You're aware "My last instagram photo" is just a subject, not the actual photo right?

@thekitze good catch. I actually missed that but technically this functionality could be supported. Lots of opportunities to integrate with 3rd party API's to do things like: "Order me an Uber at Home" "Deliver Philz Silken Splendor on Postmates to my Office" "Send my girlfriend flowers on BloomThat in the next few hours"

@rrhoover Yeah but until Google Now or Siri does that, don't expect that this app will do it. (I think that the new Google Assistant will be able to do complex queries, but I'm not sure how complex).

@thekitze @rrhoover You're right - Instagram functionality isn't implemented yet - but it will be soon.

@brandonhorst @rrhoover Cool, I wish you all the best. Can you tell me in which technology is the app built in? Are you maybe using Electron + React?

@thekitze @rrhoover Info here: https://docs.lacona.io/docs/appe... React in WebViews for the interfaces, Elliptical parser running in JavaScriptCore, and a bunch of Cocoa glue code to tie it together and to the OS. Not using Electron.

@rrhoover This should be a workflow in Alfred!

@blendahtom @rrhoover That is very difficult for technical reasons. Though the language parser is OSS and someone can definitely give it a try! http://elliptical.laconalabs.com/
