> Cate is not a window manager replacement. Tiling/scrolling WMs (Hyprland, Niri, GlazeWM, KDE) are great if you mainly want to arrange OS windows. Cate is a spatial canvas around a single project's tools — closer to Figma's infinite canvas than to a WM.
- BlueBerry2001 5mo agoYeah, that’s pretty much how I see it too. Cate is not trying to compete with tiling/scolling WMs. Those are better if the main problem is arranging normal OS windows. The goal here is more project-scoped: one spatial canvas where terminals, browser previews, editors, docs, notes, agents, git/worktrees, and saved layouts live together. More like a persistent workspace for a single project than a global desktop environment.
