    Project mention: AeroSpace is an i3-like tiling window manager for macOS | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-06-06

    This is great! I find the one thing I miss the most from i3 that none of the tiling managers seem to have is i3bar, or a minimal bar that displays what space I'm on, how many spaces I have, cpu/ram usage, etc. I've tried to find configs that emulate this with Spacebar [0], but haven't been able to find anything

  7. cagebreak

    Cagebreak: A Wayland Tiling Compositor Inspired by Ratpoison

    Project mention: The Future Is Niri | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-03-12

    I still use ratpoison, dreading the day it stops working for whatever reason (wayland being a likely one). Haven't tried it, but Cagebreak (https://github.com/project-repo/cagebreak) seems like a possible successor.
