Nice config, beautiful aesthetics! Awesome job!!

[@0xAquaWolf]

Thank you bro, what stack are you coding?

[@bbcoolg100]

@@0xAquaWolf I'm more into Typescript and GO.

Hey, this is amazing! thanks so much for livestreaming this. small suggestion, could you please include links to all the prior streams in order, including the very recent stream, in the description?

[@0xAquaWolf]

Yeah that a great suggestion thank you theburtshop :)

[@0xAquaWolf]

i created a playlist everything is in order based on the date kzbin.info/aero/PLwbt1uBf9iqArccoEXrIB_ZO0d86rECgc&si=VKNXtD7ZRKSZOeU6

[@TheDarkOneSC2]

Woah this is nice, I'm stealing some of this config. BTW I don't think you are using Stow to manage the dot files judging by your gh repo. I think you will find this super easy and convinient tool also to add to your kit. Also I got to say this is great quality content already I subbed instantly

[@0xAquaWolf]

Go for it. dotfiles are in the description and thanks for the recommendation!

What machine are you using? Guessing M2 macbook air?

[@0xAquaWolf]

correct ✅

[@_acky]

is there a tool like this on windows ? , btw your video is cool !

[@0xAquaWolf]

What type of tool are you looking for?

[@ebenezerrahul8826]

How are you able to make your screenshots float like sticky notes??

[@0xAquaWolf]

@@ebenezerrahul8826 i’m using CleanShotX on macOS it’s an amazing app with many other features like OCR and screen recording but i mostly use it for floating screenshots

[@wdicc]

where can i find the video for how to setup yabai?

[@0xAquaWolf]

Start from the oldest video on the live stream, you'll see that i started from scratch, there is a lot there but if you jump around you should see the entire process. In the future i plan on doing shorter videos to provide more value.

[@wdicc]

@@0xAquaWolf@0xAquaWolf It would be great if you could rename your videos with a name that aligns with the content. I found this video because it said `config yabai`. But after I watched half of the video, I realized it had nothing to do with Yabai; most parts of the video were for Skethbar. I also tried to find the video for Yabai in your home but failed. I'll try again later. Thank you for uploading these videos. nvm, I found the videos for yabai. The experience on KZbin mobile is terrible.

[@0xAquaWolf]

@@wdicc Hey Thanks for taking the time out to comment i'm looking through the videos now and i see what you are saying now (when i streamed the titles made sense but streams using go off topic so its hard to have a cohesive title) and i will do my best to rename them to the proper titles. I'll try my best to make sure that titles match the content, currently going through my videos to add timestamps as well to make it more discoverable. I truly appreciate the time you took. Thank you!

Now that there's AeroSpace, Yabai is even more obsolete to me, because I can't just deactivate SIP and Aerospace doesn't need SIP to be deactivated. I am sure Yabai is more stable though, because Aerospace is quite new/beta.

[@0xAquaWolf]

Interesting, first time hearing of this will look into it, thanks for recommending it.

[@axhraf7712]

does yabai work for you on macos sequoia

[@0xAquaWolf]

i'm on macos sonoma, i havn't upgraded to sequoia yet but i'm use that the yabai community will upgrade it once sequoia launches. check the github for any updates.

[@axhraf7712]

@@0xAquaWolf well on github they're saying it should work as long as you disable sip, I followed all the steps but moving a window to another space still doesn't work for me

[@0xAquaWolf]

@@axhraf7712 Yeah so thats because of the scripting additions not being properly injected into the Dock.app, check out my dotfiles and there is a section where i cover how to ensure this is working properly its labeled "Yabai Setup" Let me know if that works. If not join the discord and i'll help you get it setup

[@kevinzheng3987]

is it still possible to achieve tabbed windows on yabai?

[@0xAquaWolf]

Yes there is a config in the wiki for this i have also played around with it but don’t find a need in my personal workflow to included it. what do you like most about the tabbed setup?

[@kevinzheng3987]

I like how tabs keep windows minimalistic. I can just switch between tabs for the same window without opening two windows or workspaces.

[@0xAquaWolf]

@@kevinzheng3987 That makes sense i have played with tabbed windows before in a different window manager and i can see the benifit, i'm going to incorperate into my config, thanks for the recommendation.
