I wish they’d have an LTS version, I’m in constant fear of what will go wrong next…

#32I’d love to have a proper window organizer with keyboard shortcuts built into the OS, one less thing to have to install on the side. Hopefully it’s fast, with no annoying flair.
I'll probably still use phoenix since I can code it to do whatever I want. https://github.com/kasper/phoenix

#33I never thought I’d see the day macOS would get tiling window management. Wonder how it will interact with Stage Manager if at all.
I hope it supports thirds and not just 50/50 layouts.

#34Should have called it Sherlock as they seem to be Sherlocking a lot of apps. For instance I only use Fantastical because I can see my reminders with my events, I assume many people will also switch from a paid password manager to this as well.
I don’t see myself switching from 1password simply because I don’t think Apple passwords autofill will work natively with non-safari browsers or Linux, both of which I also use. Also, I find the handy 1password mini source pretty convenient.

This used to exist via QuickTime, but I wasn’t able to get it working recently. > I suspect it will only be useful for emergencies as latency will be terrible, though. If they can make the macOS display feature in visionOS usable, I imagine they can make this work too.
I thought you could only do screen recording via QuickTime This mirroring feature actually lets you interact with the phone
I think you’re right about that!

> as latency will be terrible, though Based on what? AirPlay mirroring is great today, and this is that with data in the other direction. Current Wifi is perfectly capable of bidirectional voice and video. Adding touch/key events is incremental.
"Terrible" might be an exaggeration, but even in my personal uncongested network the feed can get randomly choppy from wireless AirPlay mirroring.
That might be a sign of excessive congestion on the channel used for Airplay. Esp with device to device direct link, latency should be minimal. If you can, try moving nearby AP’s off the AirPlay channels for your region. For the US: “If possible, avoid using Wi-Fi channels 149 and 153 in rooms where peer-to-peer AirPlay is frequently in use”

I use Moom for basic keyboard-based window management. Great for maximizing windows and quickly resizing them

#38Tech Debt
Wow, those are a lot of features being added (even if it's largely userland).
I can't even imagine the amount of tech debt for an OS that's 23-years old (and older if you count NextStep).

#39The iPhone Mirroring was the most interesting announcement (and I don't think was leaked). I suspect it will only be useful for emergencies as latency will be terrible, though.

Isn't it illegal to push your own products by bundling them with other products?
