What is the purpose of the dock? It does not tell you what apps have windows visible, preview these windows or inform you where these windows are. Absolute waste of screen real estate.
And to add to the injury they seized another 10% of the horizontal space for the even more useless stage manager.
This is awesome. But Apple needs to get their act together. Window management, specially in multi monitor/ space setups is unbelievably bad. What is the purpose of the dock?

Is this compatible with Amethyst? I want tiling windows but without the delay in switching spaces.
FlashSpace is not interruptive - it doesn't actively try restoring your workspace, so there shouldn't be any "fight" between a tiling manager and FlashSpace.
This looks great! I currently use Aerospace, but your usage of macOS spaces has me curious. 1. Does FlashSpace require disabling SIP? 2. Aerospace documents the limitations of macOS spaces [1]. How does FlashSpace deal with these limitations? 3. Do you have any plans to support file-based configuration? I like syncing my dotfiles between multiple computers.

1. No 2. Aerospace has significant performance issues with workspaces. The problem has persisted for over a year, and there are no plans to fix it. That's why I started building FlashSpace - to make it blazingly fast. Which limitation is especially interesting to you? FlashSpace addresses the animation lag, the number of workspaces is unlimited, and you can move apps between workspaces with hot keys. 3. FlashSpace al…
I really like how FlashSpace plays well with macOS native tabs. One follow-up question I had is how you manage your windows? FlashSpace not managing windows on one hand is really nice for floating windows (e.g., mpv), but in your examples you have all the windows already set up with some gaps around each. Is all that set-up done by dragging windows around with your mouse? I use an accordion layout heavily, and I don't see how I can make it work with FlashSpace.

On the other hand, the ability to switch virtual desktops independently between monitors as macOS has been able to for ages remains absent on Windows and is present only on some Linux desktops which feels insane to me. That single feature reduces the amount of twiddling with window arrangements and such I need to do to almost nothing.

Every year I spend a month trying out Linux distros to see if it’s in a good enough place to switch back to. Every time I do this, I’m surprised by how few desktop environments supports this. Either it’s not popular or using multiple monitors isn’t common. This isn’t the only reason I haven’t switched back, but it’s one of the more surprising ones because it feels so natural to treat monitors and workspaces like this…

> What I want more than anything is just a terminal flag to turn off the dumb animations on the built-in Spaces. You can turn on "Reduce Motion" to change it from a slide to a fast cross-fade.
I ultimately stopped because the trade off is not being able to see web animations (or most any animations in the OS) most of the time, which isn’t ideal as a web developer.
Thank you! I've just installed it and so far it works great
