The open-source project will continue to be maintained! The open-source autocomplete specs are used by the CodeWhisperer CLI and will be for the foreseeable future.
The initial version of the Cicada framework was built internally at Fig (fig.io) but we liked using it so much that we wanted to open it up to the community.
We were so sick of fighting with proprietary YAML. TS is a breath of fresh air.
We are making really good progress on this and will have a cross-platform prototype in the next month or so. See the Github issues for Linux[1] and Windows[2]
Our mission is to improve the developer experience in the terminal.
We think that layer on new interfaces can help make the commandline even more powerful... as well as making it more accessible. Check out kui[0] to get an idea of what we're imagining.
`zsh-autocomplete` is a great tool as well! Some of this is just a matter of personal preference.
I've answered a few of your concerns in a different comment[0].
tl;dr
Autocomplete is just our first product, and it's part of a suite of tools focused on improving developer experience in the terminal. The idea is that you can configure your developer environment in Fig and then we'll sync it across all of your devices.
Fig will always be free for individuals. Teams pay for Fig for collaboration and discovery of internal scripts and for managing dev environment setup and onboarding.
