phoenix

Some more macOS window managers, all free and opensource: Spectacle, Slate, Phoenix (similar to Slate) And by far my personal favorite: Mjolnir which is extensible in Lua! Also, Hammerspoon its continuation.

Been using Slate as well but it's not maintained anymore. I wanted to switch to Phoenix - https://github.com/sdegutis/Phoenix/ which is from the same guy that this Hydra. I think the idea of Hydra was the rewrite it in Lua but I can't speak for him. Will definitely try it out asap!

As an aside: if you want to use JS /today/ as an OSX Window Manager (hotkeys, resizing, switch screen etc), you should check out: https://github.com/sdegutis/Phoenix I've been using it for a couple of months now, and it's been glorious! So being able to do more things in JS makes me very excited.

I think Slate has been abandoned. Check out Phoenix: https://github.com/sdegutis/phoenix

Never. Well, in terms of money. But my side-projects that I wrote to make me more productive have been paying off since shortly after starting to write them. The most useful one for me is Phoenix[1]. Although that'll soon be useless to me when I switch to Linux after finally becoming a nerd[2]. [1]: https://github.com/sdegutis/phoenix [2]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7450019

I wrote Zephyros[1] for Mac OS X, which is scriptable in pretty much any language, and used that for a while. Eventually my OCD kicked in about the performance of Zephyros's server/client architecture on my laptop, so I forked it as Phoenix[2], which is only scriptable via an embedded JavaScript VM. Now I use Phoenix exclusively. Here's my current tiling config[3] for Phoenix. But I'm currently trying to make the transition from Mac OS X to Windows 8. So I plan to port Phoenix to Windows, and I'm naming it ZephSharp[4] (I'm terrible at naming things). It's going to be written in C#, which fortunately has ClojureCLR, so Clojure will be its scripting language instead of JavaScript (hoorah!).
