It's a small detail, but after moving to iOS from Android recently I discovered Universal Clipboard: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT209460 . You copy text on one device and paste it on the other. A great piece of UX, and an example of the best interface being no interface at all.

#62No other keyboard I know has it (if you do know please tell me!) and I feel extremely slow without it.

Allows grouping of windows based off a variety of things, and helps keeps things more organized and consistent, like size and position.

I'm using it with https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst . It's ok and I couldn't manage without.
Thanks! I run Ubuntu on my personal machine and haven't found a suitable alternative yet. The more time I spend on my Mac work machine the more I'm thinking about switching my personal one due to this

#65- Letterboxd, as a movie fanatic, this app is great, and its community seems very welcoming. - Feedly, it almost makes me forget I'm really missing Greader. - Stripe, docs, dashboard, landing pages--everything they do ends up being top notch. - Github (this is a weird one), didn't really appreciate the care for the UI until I had to use Gitlab extensively, the worst offenders are the PR UI--everything looks so clutte…
All they've added is solid features that add value to the product without ever touching the branding or core platform that has been working for them for so long

#66It was seamless to set up and has a layer of security over just using a contactless credit card for payments.

#67I like the Stripe Dashboard at https://dashboard.stripe.com/ and also the Kraken.io free web interface (for image optimization) at https://kraken.io/web-interface

I use one external monitor and MacBook screen. I full screen all applications and switch between them using control and the arrow key. So my external monitor has email, IDE, and misc stuff. Screen has browser, terminal, chat application. Pressing control + up allows you to easily reorder and move elements. It's helpful to turn off the default option of automatically sorting your screens
Ah, interesting. I think we've arrived at a very similar setup, albeit implemented in different ways. I too use a MacBook and external monitor, and fullscreen my apps, but I just let them take up the whole screen minus the bar at the top, rather than explicitly use the fullscreen new workspace feature. I then swap between apps by binding all my most common apps to F1-F6 using Thor, which I find is easier to navigate…
If I really want to do split screen (very rarely), I press control + up and then drag one screen over.
