I'm working on a tiling window manager for Windows:

https://workspacer.org/

In another life I worked in a mostly linux environment, and developed on linux, where I used xmonad as a window manager. Switching to windows for a new job several years ago made that super painful. I use workspacer every day at work, and sometimes at home, and it mostly works! It crashes sometimes, and super DOES NOT LIKE IT if you reattach monitors (think laptop), but a restart of the application usually solves it.

The cool part: the configuration file is actually just C#, so you can configure it with a similar level of power that you would configure xmonad (or dwm) with (like implementing custom layouts, etc). I have not solidified the configuration API yet though, and have some plans to switch some major things up, so the road is a bit rocky for the time being.



Your site could really use a picture of the product in action.


my plan is to add some GIFs of the window manager actually managing windows, but I haven't had any spare time in the last few weeks. maybe this weekend though!
