I use this all the time to watch Netflix while programming: put Netflix in PiP mode, then put the resulting window in the corner and switch to other applications to work.
- tetris11 7y agoSame, also for YouTube, KimCartoon and many others. The reason I mention them is because the window ID of the PiP is fixed, meaning that I can easily define a window rule for it in my desktop environment independent from Firefox I'm loving this.

- gbrown 7y agoIt blows my mind that you can watch Netflix and program at the same time.
- fiddlerwoaroof 7y agoIt's definitely not as efficient, but when I'm doing repetitive work it helps
- LandR 7y agoSometimes coding is just mindless typing some boiler plate. It's easy to pay attention to something else. I see it like listening to podcast or something while mindlessly grinding in a game.

- rtpg 7y agoThe analogy I like is how people listen to the radio while driving. Sometimes you’re just doing something pretty simple (like a tedious refactor) and can move forward while watching something else
