Fancy video - still have no idea how this works.

Just installed it -- Got a scary popup about needing access to "System Events". What's that about? Also, can't open localhost:3000?

    Yes, the scrollable tiling concept looks really similar to our approach: https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM/ https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM/ (except "stack" seems to be restricted to webpages?)

  there's station (https://getstation.com/ https://getstation.com/) which I think does more or less the same thing.

This reminds me very much of Station (https://getstation.com/ https://getstation.com/) which I use daily and highly recommend.

  This looks like the Mac OS X dock as a web page that helps you click what would be... browser tabs more easily due to pretty icons?

Man, I really hate this website. It's bad enough that it's the kind of page where you have to scroll large distances while crazy effects fly all around to get the information you want; it's even worse that the page actually lags while doing it (specifically at the multitask/be organized/stay up to date buzzword soup)

I downloaded it, connected a bunch of apps I use (Twitter, Google Drive, Gmail, Messenger, Slack) and played around. Sincere question: what's the benefit of using my apps this way? It seems like it just puts each webpage in a different tab and lets me put the tabs side by side. How is this paradigmatically different from my browser, aside from removing a bunch of browser features? Is it organization? Why do my apps need to be organized? Why is this better than workspaces? Is it because workspaces are too janky? (I hate the sliding animation on macOS.) Initially I thought Stack was a productivity tool, with keyboard shortcuts, quick search/jump, etc. The only thing I've found is ⌘+1/2/3/4, and 1Password integration doesn't work anymore. And what do I do if I need to use ⌘+1/2/3/4 to navigate an inner app connected to Stack? Put another way, what is the vision here that I'm failing to understand?

All these apps have nasty side effects when it comes to privacy. For example, most of them want access to system events which means they want access to your documents and other data. No thanks.

> Work in multiple web-apps simultaneously We have that already, they're called "windows" and you arrange them using your mouse. You can even overlap these "windows" to have easy visual random access to them.
