Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Tools to achieve a 10x developer workflow on Windows
The two biggest tiling window manager projects for Windows are komorebi and GlazeWM. Komorebi is probably faster and more resource efficient since it is written in Rust, but I stick with Glaze for now since it has a cool status bar built in I like.
- GlazeWM 2.0: A tiling window manager for Windows 10/11
- GlazeWM: A tiling window manager for Windows inspired by i3 and Polybar

WSL and Vim development setup
If you're looking for a Windows alternative for i3, you should check out GlazeWM

Another DWM experiment: DVD logo animation applied to a window (it's much faster while not recording)
I'm not really sure if this "replaces" the WM or just 'runs it' https://github.com/lars-berger/GlazeWM

Ask HN: Is it a good time to make big purchases in the UK with USD?
Haha hello!
I don't use Teams personally but I believe some people have solved this and it is part of the standard application-specific fixes that are used to generate base configurations.[1]
Thanks to the architecture of komorebi, it's pretty easy for users to fix (and then contribute fixes for) weird behaviour of individual apps without touching the source code.
Thankfully an army of dedicated users has congregated on the project Discord so if you ever get stuck with the sort of behaviour you're describing with any application, someone on the server will be able to show you to fix it (and then add the fix to the application-specific fixes repo so future users never have to deal with it).

Komorebi (a tiling window manager for Windows) v0.1.9 is out!
Introducing a decoupled library of application-specific fixes in YAML that can be used to generate the majority of configuration options for applications that are uncooperative-by-default. The goal is to eventually just be able to run one command to generate 99% of your configuration, leaving you to focus on the other 1% which should essentially be your preferred shortcuts and workspace layout options.

Show HN: A tiling window manager like i3wm written in C#
komorebi dev here. I can't tell you the number of times I've wanted to just write my own take on sxhkd[1] for Windows and use that to manage my own keybindings for komorebi instead of ahk.
You can just as easily write your own/use another hotkey daemon or PowerShell scripts to handle komorebi's configuration and keybindings, in that sense there is no dependency on ahk at all. However, the inertia around ahk in the Windows ecosystem is undeniable and it's in the interests of making adoption and onboarding easier that the project provides example ahk files and has invested in an ahk code generation library.
My thoughts on the dominant hotkey daemon in the Windows ecosystem aside, I remain convinced that the famous bspwm socket communication architecture[2] is the best way to handle both configuration and keybindings for a tiling window manager that has been proposed to this today.
Unfortunately I have to concede that there is a certain configuration burden that comes with komorebi, which is amplified in some cases by having to write/maintain ahk. This configuration burden is largely due to the highly fragmented nature of Windows application development that is discussed often on HN and it is inescapable.
With this in mind, the next release of komorebi (currently available on master) will invest even more heavily in automatic configuration generation.
A separate repository of common application-specific configuration tweaks[3] (in YAML!) has been created which I and others from the komorebi Discord server are contributing to, with the goal of having the edge cases for as many applications as possible fully documented so that a comprehensive configuration file can be generated[4] for the user which ensures that every (major) Windows application behaves as expected under a tiling window manager.
I hope that other Windows tiling window manager developers can use these YAML definitions in the future to handle the same edge cases in their projects so that eventually there will be a tiling window manager of every flavour (bspwm, i3wm etc.) available for Windows users where having to manually accommodate and compensate for the non-standard behaviour of individual applications is a thing of the past.
