Am I misunderstanding what this is or is this something that would benefit a lot from having a few screenshot in "what is this" part of readme?

- caslon 5y agoWindow managers on Aqua do a lot less than you're thinking if you're coming off of conventional UNIX window managers. All they do is move the windows; they don't draw anything.
- nhumrich 5y agoIf you don't understand enough from the readme, you are most likely not the target market. But yes, if they want to attract new people to tiling in general, they should use screenshots. But trust me when I say screenshots don't do tiling justice. It's something you have to use, and feel, to understand. The "look" of tiling is possible without tiling, so it doesn't look all to impressive. It's all about the usability, not the look.

- nhumrich 5y agoBecause it's just windows open. Doesn't look any different then the normal windows manager.
- stolen_biscuit 5y agoHow would anyone know? There's no screenshots
- jitl 5y agoIt usually looks like a bunch of normal windows next to each other, and maybe some kind of border around the focused window. Probably a video would be a better illustration. I looked at a few minutes of the top videos for “yabai” on YouTube and liked this one the most: https://youtu.be/JL1lz77YbUE https://youtu.be/JL1lz77YbUE
