MacroTile first release!

4th Dec 2022

Hello World! I’m proud to announce I just released MacroTile, the "Simple and fast tiling window manager for MacOS". MacroTile has been built with one goal in mind: to have the smoothest user experience possible.

While the installation process is not smooth yet, as it mostly requires the command-line and installing XCode + Swift Tools, I will distribute pre-built binaries and an installer soon. Since the project is still rough around the edges, I don’t feel comfortable making the install process simple yet.

For anyone wondering, it is completely built in Swift using a library called Swindler. Truthfully, you could say MacroTile is just an example of what you can build using Swindler. And I do know Swindler is quite old now, but it seemed better than writing the whole Window Management using Cocoa APIs by myself, especially when I have no real Swift experience. Well, I hope you like MacroTile and try it, releasing projects to the world is my passion after all. Have fun tinkering!
