#2Just found about it on X[1], and I'm quite impressed for how well it looks and work. A great improvement over Rectangle and other options I've tried at some point.

#3Been waiting for 1.0.0 for a bit. This is super nice!

#4Very impressive. I've been a very happy rectangle user for few years now but this new app is way more intuitive and visual. Good job guys ! Would love to be able to control the max size of the "maximize" behavior as I like to have the app in-focus to only fill 50% of my screen. Again, good job guys, it's very impressive and it already replaced Rectangle here !

#5I always love indie apps and never want to discourage creators.
Some unsolicited advice though … given macOS in a few month time will have Window Tiling natively built in - you might want to articulate how Loop is different/better.

#6I have been a long term Rectangle user on Mac and a WinSplitRevolution for decades on Windows, my biggest preference as a developer is for it to be keyboard centric.
I love the use of a numpad as a positional reference for the screen.
Hotkey + NumPad 6 = right side of screen full Hotkey + NumPad 5 = full screen Hotkey + Numpad 1 = Bottom left Quarter
Repeated presses of these cycle between Half, 3rd and Quarter
This reminds me of the Crysis UI which I still love as a weapon / armor switcher :)

#8Any chance of a window manager that lets you alt tab between windows instead of between applications. So Alt-tab-tab-tab takes you 3 windows ago, not 3 applications ago, or worse 1 application ago and 2 unrelated windows of that application?
Man I really mis application menus being at the top of windows and being able to layer different windows from different applications in any order that I wish. VNC screen connections just make it into an even worse jumble.

Wait, what? Are all windows of an application positioned in the same layer on macOS?
