Frog VS quicktile

The similar app I am using is Frog (https://getfrog.app) with great sucesss.

However i cannot build their package https://github.com/TenderOwl/Frog for some reason. I have to try to get it working.

You might wanna have a look at quicktile. It's basically an addon that adds tiling to existing WM. Works well, but lacks some of the intrgrations dedicated tiling WM have.

As the author of QuickTile, which is written in Python but even closer to what you describe than a window manager would be, I have to say that, yeah, doing X11 stuff takes a lot of knowledge that's not ideally documented in non-print sources.

quicktile is a handy tiling tool which saves me a lot of time. native custom tiling is always better tho

It's been a long time since I bothered with this functionality, but I seem to recall that quicktile was a better fit for me than those other two. Not sure if it's still viable.

Actually, I plan to add a .nojekyll file and then use something like Pelican with custom plugins, then set GitHub Actions to run my update.sh on push... similar to how http://ssokolow.com/quicktile/ is a Sphinx-based site hosted on GitHub Pages and automatically regenerated from the pushed sources.

I've been using ssokolow.com/quicktile for this purpose, it does what I need and doesn't replace the wm.

If you're into using shortcuts I would recommend installing Quicktile for manage your windows: https://github.com/ssokolow/quicktile

you can try quicktile

The best I could do for the API documentation for this project of mine was to use the automodule directive to autogenerate at the coarsest level possible and remember to never create new .py files if I could possibly avoid it.
