Hi I'm Yuval, one of the devs behind haystack, I messed around with needl + other alternatives (e.g unleash, getcommande, glean). I talked to Max as a user over needls privacy policy. The biggest difference is that haystack gives you search results relevant to your query. Just like google. needl and alts are more of a spotlight/raycast alternative, great as a productivity tool, they require you to know exactly what you're looking for beforehand, in my opinion which leaves more to be desired as a search product. Another big differencee is around data privacy, haystack is open, free and most importantly self-hosted. Also we allow building low code custom data connectors into haystack! It'll become publicly available next month here: https://github.com/haystackoss/haystack Thanks :)
