What is the real reason to make this tool platform-specific?
- mattnewton 11y agoFrom the read me: "All scripts are written in AppleScript, so they are unfortunately limited to OS X at the moment."
- to3m 11y agoTry making a cross-platform one! Maybe you'll find out ;) (Less cheeky response: no two platforms handle this stuff in the same way. You'd be able to share such a small amount of code between platforms that you'd be better off just duplicating that code rather than trying to create some kind of abstraction. This is true even if you decided to start out by not using something entirely OS X-specific such as AppleScript.)
- kennywinker 11y agoThe tools it builds on are platform specific. I don't see a lot of ubuntu boxes that support AppleScript.
- 0942v8653 11y agoThe problem it's trying to solve is also mostly platform specific. On windows and most Linux DEs you usually have default keybindings to move windows to the right half/left half/fill the screen.
