Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?
When I was annoyed with this I went ahead and downloaded phoenix (https://github.com/kasper/phoenix) wrote a little javascript and now I have a bunch of globally accessable hotkeys so I can lay my windows out in a number of combinations. Right now I have setups for over/under left/right, two by two grid, and three by three grid.
I've got some plans to spend some time enabling more arbitrary grids and subgrids but I haven't gotten to it yet.

Hyprland, a dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that doesn't sacrifice on looks
Actually, if you're interested at all, I just, after literally months of reading about this, found a pretty sick solution.
Have you ever heard of Phoenix? https://github.com/kasper/phoenix/. Despite googling around for this exact topic, with 3.8k stars I had never heard of it. Apparently someone has created slim, JS scriptable interface that is basically tailor made toward creating your own tiling WM. I just installed it and loaded one of the examples: https://github.com/nik3daz/spin2win. And what it does is basically ignores the built-in spaces and creates truly virtual desktops by just hiding and resizing windows. And it works pretty well. The response time between switching "desktops" is basically instant.

Has anyone made the switch from developing in Windows to macOS? Any general or specific advice about the switch?
Get a window tiler. At the very least, you'll want one that can maximize (not fullscreen) and split windows in different configurations. Some options here are Rectangle, BetterTouchTool, or Phoenix if you like to tweak and customize.

Just got a Mac, what are some of your must-have apps and software to have on it?
I like Phoenix, since you can program it exactly to your needs in any flavor of JavaScript.

It's been almost 9 months since Ventura was released. What's your thoughts about "Stage Manager"?
I'm using amethyst as my Window manager, and I'm feeling fine

Window manager that behaves like on WindowsOS?
And for the second part, we have Wins to manually drag and set the window position, and Amethyst to set it automatically.

[Serious] I don't get why people like Mac and I feel like I'm missing out
If you find the native window management lackluster (like I do), you can install a window manager like Amethyst, or yabai, veeer, or many others.

I also used Amethyst, but I think yabai is much better

Witch – macOS window switcher replacement
Amethyst is my tiling manager of choice for macOS: https://ianyh.com/amethyst/
It was a little buggy when Ventura dropped, but it gets frequent updates and has stabilized in the past few months.

How to tile (auto-fit) all open windows on the screen? Example: If you have 8 windows open, you want to auto-fit all 8 windows on the same screen. What about 3rd party apps?
This can be done through third party programs such as amethyst. It's not a native feature unless I am mistakened.

> tmux helps all 3, but not particular good at either.
iTerm2 on macOS has some nice tmux integration[1]. Basically, you run a tmux session (using tmux -CC), but the actual window management on the client side is handled by iTerm2. This works pretty nicely with the tiling WM (Amethyst[2]) I use on macOS.
If anybody is aware of Wayland compositors that integrate similarly, please let me know. I'd love to be able to do the same on my linux machines.
