How I stay (more) focused with ADHD
Tip: I use Rectangle app to set up keyboard shortcuts to resize windows (I only have three shortcuts there: left/right half of the screen and full screen).

Ideal Monitor Rotation for Programmers
But Raycast also has some functionality in that direction.

Little macOS Apps That Make a Big Difference in 2024
Two more little utilities that I cannot live without on Mac:
A tiling window manager like https://rectangleapp.com/
Muzzle, which automatically silences desktop notifs when you're screensharing https://muzzleapp.com/

Everything I install and set up on a new MacBook as a web developer
I was a Spectacle user for years, but I recently switched to using Rectangle for window management. Rectangle has a few more options than Spectacle; I’m still getting used to it but I have no strong feelings either way.

Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
Has anyone transitioned from moom to magnet?
Rectangle is another oss option: https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle
I bought Moom long before rectangle came out, both are pretty decent.
I like rectangle [0]. It fits my needs well enough without requiring disabling SIP. I especially like the “repeated key presses resize a window on the same side” feature, so I can get cycle the size of the window on the right side of the screen from 1/2->1/3->2/3 easily. I miss i3 sometimes and this ain’t an identical replacement but it gets the job done! Turns out I don’t move my windows all that often anyways.
Why would you pay for magnet when you can use rectangle, which is the same but open source? https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle

Flakes aren't real and cannot hurt you: using Nix flakes the non-flake way
I am intrigued by this line in the description:
"Super Fast Emacs: Bleeding edge Emacs that fixes itself, thanks to a community overlay"
Could you possibly tell me (or link to the explanation) what's special about that Emacs instance? (I'll update this comment if I find a link myself)
I use this homebrew cask and have been very happy with it thus far, but I'm always up for some new exploration. https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus

Emacs 29.1 Released
Oh, I just realized I'm using https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus . I recommend using that over the default formula.
- Thinking about buying a macbook, does Emacs work well?
-
Change the emacs theme to light/dark according to the system theme
I think it depends on how you installed your Emacs. I know for sure that you could do something like that with this variant of Emacs for macOS as explained here: https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus#system-appearance-change
There is the code to do just that. Works with emacs-mac and emacs-plus.

ps. Emacs plus aggregates a great collection https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus#icons

Doom Emacs is broke for me and life just isn't the same
homebrew-emacs-plus generally works for me. I'd recommend it.

Emacs MacOS icon
homebrew-emacs-plus has a whole compendium of custom icons that one can build emacs with on MacOS. You could open an issue to add this icon. E.g. I build with brew install -s emacs-plus\@29 --with-EmacsIcon2-icon to get a custom icon.
