Super excited to release Substage 1.0 today!

If you don't know it, Substage is a little Mac app that puts a command bar underneath your Finder windows, allowing you to manipulate files and more, by converting your requests to Terminal commands.

My favourite new feature is Rules, allowing powerful customisation - for example with a trigger word like "website" you can say "when resizing images for my website, make them 1000px wide"

Here's another example which adds details about how to optimise a video for YouTube upload:

I've also added a much requested Ideas & Actions panel, which helps demonstrate everything that Substage can do, while allowing quick access to frequent commands that can be favourited and reused.

There are a bunch of new integrations too - I'm particularly happy with the new ability to transcribe audio, thanks to @finnvoorhees's excellent yap command line tool! Just select an audio file and type "transcribe"
