   Easier and faster to navigate through apps

   Since I managed to get used with this app I can't imagine a day of work without it. Incredible powerful and easy to use / configure.

   A useful productivity tool

   rcmd is something that could potentially turbocharge your productivity. However! you will need to get used to using it.

   My only issue is that I forget about it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

   👍 Pros:    Improves your productivity

   👎 Cons:    It's super easy to forget that it exists

• Ask HN: What macOS apps/programs do you use daily and recommend?

  If your into the tiling window manager experience, I would highly recommend looking into yabai + skhd + Sketchybar - https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Ask HN: Best Hacks for a Ultrawide Monitor?

  I have a 49 inch CRG9 and the best recommendation for window management is Yabai (https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai). Yabai is a greedy window management solution that tries to fit opened applications in given space and skhd let's you easily jump between those using keyboard shortcuts. This has massively improved my ultrawide experience. Only disclaimer is, configuring yabai has a slight learning curve. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• macOS Containers v0.0.1

  SIP is a feature that protects you from malicious actors with root (admin) access on your device. After they've encrypted your photos and drives and changed your passwords, it prevents them from making your machine unbootable by deleting or altering system binaries. As a side effect of this protection, you give up certain freedoms to customize your system. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

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

  This is disproven by the fact that Yabai [1] can instantly swap spaces with SIP disabled. [1] https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Anime.js – A lightweight JavaScript animation library

  One less known use case for this is creating animated UI demos, which as a dev I find harder to do using video editing software. I used it to create the simple demo on the rcmd frontpage: https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd This is the code, where I'm just animating elements of an SVG I previously created with Sketch: https://github.com/FuzzyIdeas/lowtechguys/blob/main/src/rcmd/index.plim#L211-L379 But because Lunar's... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Witch – macOS window switcher replacement

  Also check out my rcmd app (https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd) for more keyboard centric workflows. It’s definitely not as powerful as Witch for windows/tabs but rcmd’s one-key approach is instant for app switching. Witch has some ingenious features indeed: searching browser/editor/terminal tabs, lingering on an app to show its windows etc. I wish Apple would allow this kind of functionality in App Store apps. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
