What is a Text Expander?

A text expander is a program that detects when you type a specific keyword and replaces it with something else. This is useful in many ways:

Save a lot of typing, expanding common sentences.
Create system-wide code snippets.
Execute custom scripts
Use emojis like a pro.

Of course I am curious if folks are already using something like this.

@seeker This looks awesome! I currently use Rocket which is only for Macs and only for emojis (and support is not great...). Will definitely given Espanso a whirl!

However, this is a desktop application, and syncing happens through a config file that can be stored on the cloud, but needs no special server. So I don't know that this is something that can be packaged for Cloudron.

I've used for a while. Useful for auto-typing your email address

It looked like a good alternative to what I have used and I liked that it had sync. I posted it in the discussion area and not the app wish list area for the reasons you mentioned.
