Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
Have you heard of Phoenix [1]? It seems relatively unknown but I actually found it to work better than Yabai in some ways. The gist is that it basically simulates a tiling wm and virtual desktops by internally tracking state. It's also highly hackable/extensible being written in JS. Spin2Win [2] is a config that's worked well for me.

That said, it seems there are no perfect solutions. At work where I can't really be futzing around with window management config I basically just use Raycast + hotkeys and try to keep everything inside maximized application windows. This means using Arc browser (tabbed), iTerm (tabbed), VS Code (with native tabs), etc mapped to cmd+1, cmd+2, cmd+3...Not much "tiling" going on but at least everything is pretty keyboard friendly.

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.

Can someone suggest a good window resizing manager that organizes your open windows? Thanks!

- Any programs that can do auto-tiling like pop os Linux does?
- First distro, what could go wrong?
- FancyZones fork which maximizes windows properly

Popular "Video Ad-Block, for Twitch" Extension with 600k users, has removed the source code from GitHub and completely privatized it. The latest update requires new permissions to "read and change your data on all amazon.co.uk sites" adding ""aradb-21" as a referral tag to product URLs.
I usually only watch one stream at a time but the few times I have had two open I just kept a single chat open. Pressing the + next to options when you have a tab open lets you open another side by side, no idea if there's any way to drag and drop a tab there though. More generally for window management I use https://workspacer.org on windows and have filters to automatically open chatterino and mpv on the same workspace with a 20-80 split.

How many of you use a tilling window manager?
I'm on linux but one of my good friends has been using the Workspacer window manager. My understanding is that the docs are a little shakey as its a bit of a new project, but he seems to be liking it.
