I don't run MacOS anymore but based off the comments it sounds like the window snapping is not that great yet. Makes me wonder, why not just buy Magnet or one of the many other apps that do this and integrate the source into MacOS.
- thiht 2y ago1 less third party app to install and rely on. The only snapping features I use are snap left, snap right, and resize both snapped windows at the same time (which Rectangle doesn’t do). Sometimes less is more, I’m more happy with Sequoia native snapping than with Rectangle/Magnet
- thih9 2y agoWhy not build own version? Current approach sounds best to me, Apple gets to implement a (relatively simple) feature exactly how they want, power users and existing users can rely on third party apps.
- nkmskdmfodf 2y ago> Why not build own version? Probably because it costs like 10k per line of code for apple to implement anything decent. (not claiming that magnet is decent)
- thih9 2y agoDo you have a source? Preferably one that also says that Apple doesn’t spend that much when using code from companies they have bought?
- aranchelk 2y agoI imagine this situation is kind of unique. Once a company finds out the features they sell will be integrated into the 1st party platform, and they have a chance to get out of the business, and they know they’ve got competitors that Apple could turn to next, I imagine Apple would be getting a steep discount. Especially if it’s an aqui-hire — peace of mind the employees will be taken care of.
