Tella Raycast Extension
Experiments·January 4, 2025
I was stoked when Tella dropped their API. Ever since interviewing Grant on my podcast, I've been waiting to play with it. So this morning I just dove in and built a Raycast extension.
It lets you browse all your Tella videos, search across transcripts, manage playlists, and see your stats - all from Raycast. You can copy embed links, view transcripts inline, even edit video settings with a keyboard-first interface. There's also a grid view for thumbnails which was fun to figure out.
Rough edges everywhere. Hit some rate limits because I'm a noob with this stuff, and I'm not sure the boolean settings are mapping correctly yet. This is very much a morning project, not a polished product.
Would love to eventually get this published to the Raycast store, but I've never contributed to open source before so I'll need to figure that out. Also experimenting with Raycast's native AI features to query across my transcripts. That part's pretty over my head but showing promise.
