What a great project. For those who are wanting something similar for macOS, the Amethyst project is pretty great https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst (meant to be more like Xmonad actually but still a tiling wm).
Has the performance improved over the past few years? Last I tried it (2017 or so?) It was so much slower than i3 that I couldn't stand it and went with hand-rolling something with hammerspoon.
[Edit for context] I used Linux at home but was forced into a MacBook at work.
Can’t say for certain, but I think the speed has improved over the past several years. Definitely more stable (for me anyways). I haven’t used i3 so I can’t compare the two.
Out of curiosity, is your hammerspoon substitute fit for showing off ? I'm a tiling window manager refugee and I love hammerspoon but every time I try to dive into making something like my old xmonad setup, I run into macos-specific issues about the concept of apps and windows and workspaces and such and them not mapping to my prejudiced mental model of how things should be.
I didn't do a whole lot of tiling with it, mostly just added keyboard shortcuts to open or bring to the front specific applications as (at the time) I was on a Mac without an external monitor. I found I could switch between windows quickly enough that I never needed multiple visible on the screen at the same time.
