  • phoenix

    A lightweight macOS window and app manager scriptable with JavaScript (by kasper)

    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.

  • spin2win

    My personal Phoenix (kasper/phoenix) configuration, written in TypeScript
