• Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?

  Ooooo good tip, thanks! This might be a good replacement for Divvy [0], which I used until it EoL’d [0] https://mizage.com/divvy/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• What's a good window management app similar to PowerToys?

  I've been using Divvy (https://mizage.com/divvy/) for that for years . Source: about 1 year ago

• Lasso - Window Manager for macOS

  I love Divvy but it hasn't had an update in forever and basically is abandoned. Hopefully I can finally replace it with this :). Source: over 1 year ago

• Divvy / GTile like behavior

  Gnome has an awesome plugin called gTile, and for Windows/Mac there is a very similar plugin known as Divvy Is there anything similar available for AwesomeWM? Source: over 1 year ago

• What purchase has improved your quality of life as a web dev?

  This next one isn't necessarily a purchase - but just knowing how to use your computer well is a big deal. Most programmers/computer users I've worked with are constantly fumbling around and moving windows and closing and opening things over and over and well: they appear very foolish and expensive for no reason. So apps like Alfred and Divvy + shortcuts and just organizing your windows will improve your life/dev... Source: over 1 year ago

• "We understand" ;)

  This is partially why I use tools like i3 (/ sway). I like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. It just works. It is boring in the best way possible. Source: 5 months ago

• what machines have you used for development, and what do you prefer?

  I use MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid-2014) with Manjaro as OS using i3 as a window manager. It isn't perfect, but I'm thrilled with it. I have been a Mac OS user for the last 15 years and wouldn't change what I have now for a Mac OS because I don't need more than what I'm using for development. Source: 10 months ago

• Machine for pentesting and general use?

  For daily usage I really like kubuntu with i3wm, but it takes some configuration and getting used to the shortcuts, but it's well worth it. Source: 12 months ago

• What's the difference between Gnome and KDE? Do applications written for one work in the other?

  Some window managers are meant to be used as-is, and provide a minimalist yet functional environment that use very little resources or give power users an almost HUD-like interface. Examples of those window managers are OpenBox and i3wm for X, and Weston and Hyprland for Wayland. Source: 12 months ago
