Have [Alfred][alfred] installed.\n2. Have the [Alfred Powerpack][powerpack] installed.\n3. [Download the Silent Mention workflow file][download], and double-click it to add it to Alfred.\n4. Customize the keyword if you want (default is `silent`).\n\n## Usage\nInvoke Alfred, then type `silent @username` or `silent amazon.com` or `silent #hashtag` and hit return. The thing you typed will be pasted into the frontmost app, but will **not** be seen as a username mention, a domain link, or a valid hashtag.\n\n## How It Works\nIt works by inserting an invisible `U+2060` [Word Joiner][word-joiner] character in a location that breaks the parsing. `U+2060` is a special character that means “the things on either side of me should stay stuck together”. So, to Twitter, it looks like `WordPress\u003cU+2060\u003e.com` or `@\u003cU+2060\u003estop`, but to a human's eyes, it is just `WordPress⁠.com` or `@⁠stop`.\n\n## Works On\n* Twitter\n* Slack\n* iMessage\n* GitHub\n* And more\n\n[download]: https://github.com/markjaquith/Alfred-Silent-Mention/raw/main/Silent%20Mention.alfredworkflow\n[stop]: https://twitter.com/stop\n[alfred]: https://www.alfredapp.com/\n[powerpack]: https://www.alfredapp.com/powerpack/\n[word-joiner]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_joiner\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmarkjaquith%2Falfred-silent-mention","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmarkjaquith%2Falfred-silent-mention","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmarkjaquith%2Falfred-silent-mention/lists"}
