+# dmenu
+
+A `dmenu`-like extension for Raycast.
+
+Inspired by [this orange website commenter](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40606300).
+
+## Usage
+
+1. [Install the extension.](#installation)
+2. Download the [dmenu_raycast](./dmenu_raycast) script and put it somewhere in your `$PATH`
+3. Run something like `printf 'one\ntwo\nthree' | dmenu_raycast`
+
+`dmenu_raycast` will either print the selected item to stdout, or exit 0 if the user cancelled without selecting an item.
+
+Whitespace is stripped, but this might change in the future once I check if `dmenu` also does that lol.
+
+**TODO:** `-p` (prompt) support
+
+## Installation
