Hey Product Hunt community! 👋
I'm excited to introduce Cactbot, a free, open-source raiding overlay for Final Fantasy XIV.
Cactbot helps players follow fight timelines, receive on-screen alerts for incoming mechanics, review deaths and mistakes after a wipe, and track important job resources and cooldowns.
We've also created a dedicated website to help players understand Cactbot's features, set it up with ACT and OverlayPlugin, and troubleshoot common issues.
I'd love to hear from fellow FFXIV players: What feature do you find most useful when learning or progressing through challenging raids?
Thanks for checking out Cactbot! 🎮
