• Apple has not fixed the macOS audio left/right balance bug for 10 years

  Most of the time, I don’t. It sounds silly but macOS window management works best when you don’t micromanage and just let windows pile up at whichever size fits their content, kind of like papers on a desk. Instead I group windows by virtual desktop (space) on two monitors, switching out virtual desktops to mix and match sets of windows. Individual windows are rarely moved or resized. On the odd occasion I need... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS

  I similarly find something like Yabai a bit too heavy-handed for my needs, and instead prefer Moom[0]. I find that only need tiling occasionally, and for that Moom excels since it doesn’t add any new key shortcuts to memorize and is only ever visibly present when hovering your cursor over a window’s green button. Its Aero Snap equivalent is optional and turned off by default too, which is great for me (I trigger... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Rethinking Window Management in Gnome

  I ended up using Moom [1] to work around some of the oddities of macOS window management. It's relatively low-feature, mostly for window arrangements and sizing. I use it on a vertical monitor to split window placement horizontally, since macOS can only natively do vertical splits. It has other features too (like saving layouts and keyboard shortcuts), but I don't use them that much. 1. https://manytricks.com/moom/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Any alternatives to Sizer4 for Mac? (Resizing a window to a specific size like 1024x768)

• MOOM doesn't work with Vivaldi

  I've got question tho, I'm using MOOM (https://manytricks.com/moom/) to help me organize application window. But somehow, it doesn't work on Vivaldi window. Source: 11 months ago

• Word Count Accountability/Writing App??

  There's 4thewords, where they gamify writing. I've not tried it but it looks interesting. Source: about 1 year ago

• Executive Dysfunction

  Yes, I'm the same way. Two things have helped me. 1. Using the Pomodoro technique. You can find timers online and they tick while you are doing whatever, which I find helps me stay on track. I do 30 minutes with 5 minutes break. 2. 4thewords.com is a really cool gamification system for writers. You basically fight monsters while you're writing. It's amazing how well it keeps you on track! Also, there are some... Source: about 1 year ago

• Where you write?

  I use 4thewords.com with Scrivener for organisation and notes, but it really depends on what works for you. I like the gamification of 4thewords because it helps me focus, other people prefer options where they can completely turn off their wifi for fewer distractions. There are people who still write entirely by hand for their first drafts because it helps turn off their inner editor. Try a few options and see... Source: about 1 year ago

• Hello, I'm Celia Lake. I write cosy historical fantasy romances. Ask Me Anything today!

  My word count went up substantially when I stopped commuting every day in March of 2020. These days I'm in the office 2-3 days a week, but I've kept the words up, and average about 2K a day (though there are days I do a lot less and some I do more). I draft on 4theWords, so there is a bit of gamification there - can I get through this word battle to defeat this monster, etc. Source: about 1 year ago

• Campfire Writing?

  I use 4TheWords more often than some of the other ones lately, and it's sorta fun too. They've got a thirty day trial and plenty of events that give you additional time for free (especially NaNo). Also worth a check if some of the other software doesn't tickle your fancy. Source: over 1 year ago
