I use Amethyst https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst in my day to day. Slightly different management philosophy but one that works well for me.

Hi OP,
I'm the author of AltTab (https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/), a popular window switcher for macOS, imitating Windows famous alt+tab shortcut. I know for a fact how hard it is to implement what you did. It looks very nice, well done!
I see you ran into the issue of not being able to detect windows from other Spaces. Apple introduced it in macOS 12.2. If you're curious, you can see the vast efforts we've deployed trying to find a workaround: https://github.com/lwouis/alt-tab-macos/issues/1324
Thank you

The thing with most of these macOS window managers is they lack support for workspaces, an essential feature in WMs like i3.
macOS Workspaces are not the best to use, because switching between them causes an animation or at least a delay. I started using Aerospace [0] recently, and they've implemented virtual workspaces themselves which works much better than macOS Workspaces.
I still have to configure Aerospace properly for multi-display setups, but it works really well with this i3-like config right out of the box [1]. And they have comprehensive docs too!
I highly recommend trying out Aerospace if current macOS window management solutions aren't working well for you.
