workspacer VS yatta

The topbar is part of workspacer just heavily customized you can get it here: https://workspacer.org

I will definitely give this a try. Have you used Workspacer?

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.

FancyZones in power toys and https://workspacer.org/ (not tried it personally)

For Windows, the situation is even worse. While I was forced to use Windows at work, I used workspacer for a while. That was better than no tiling but still a huge pain to use (flickering on every key press in some programs, called "epilepsy mode" by my colleagues; slow startup; restart or crash every time the display configuration was changed; almost no documentation or ability to customize it). All other tiling window managers for Windows were even worse, some not starting at all, being incompatible with Windows 10, or not supporting multiple displays.

I used Rust to prototype a new window manager in public and I found it very productive, easy to iterate on and make large changes without worrying about breaking anything.

Thanks! I had a look through the latest commit that you pushed to grist, and I noticed you handling errors from windows-rs in a similar way as I was doing in a previous project (yatta.

In general, I feel a lot better about this code base, the choice of data structures, and particularly the added safety around how I am calling unsafe Windows APIs in cleaner ways that allow me to propagate and handle errors when responding to WinEvents or socket commands (compare this mishmash to this much cleaner module!)

I wrote my very first window manager for Windows 10 in Rust earlier this here, I built it from the ground up using the new windows-rs crate. It was my first time developing anything for Windows and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the MS documentation ecosystem, and I also had a lot of great example code to learn from thanks to other projects like nog.

I am using this crate for a relatively non-trivial project (tiling window manager) and it has been pretty painless to use so far. From time to time, there will be an API or a type that is marked as not yet implemented, or an instance where the metadata it is generated from is incorrect, but the maintainer is helpful and responsive in my experience.

I started working on yatta for Windows 10 because I was missing yabai and bspwm after I started working from a Windows 10 desktop last year.

I made a post about it on the Rust subreddit yesterday looking for more contributors: https://old.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/lh4uyq/yatta_bsp_tili...

It's still early days, but it has automatic tiling, gap control, focus switching, directional moving and tree orientation toggling and you can use AHK or any other hotkey daemon to manage your keybindings.

You still have to build it from source at the moment, but I'm hoping to have it installable via the Scoop package manager in a month or two.

I spent a couple of days hacking away to get something that works on Windows 10 with the bare minimum TWM functionality that my hands are used to, and I've managed to throw together Yatta: https://github.com/LGUG2Z/yatta (there is a demo gif on the readme).
