After trying many options and not finding a window manager I love on Mac, I decided to build my own wm. It seemed a waste not to share it though, so I decided to make a website for it. The website needs to explain the product, which is hard. IMO show > tell, so wm runs in a browser too! 😅

Very cool! I recall you got deep into komorebi config, hotkeys, and macOS workarounds. Is your wm drawing any inspiration from komorebi?

✍️ New Article: Balancing flex items with flex-wrap: balance I explored flex-wrap: balance and flex-line-count and really enjoyed using them. I even made a masonry layout by mixing flex-line-count, round, clamp, and container queries units! 😀 ishadeed.com/article/flex...

Wow! Congrats to you and your family. That's an exciting shift to the physical world v. software world!

hey, this is really nice work! I just located the corresponding article on your site, too; will dig into that soon! (the article for anyone interested: schalkneethling.com/posts/css-at...)

@function — Native Custom Functions in CSS

CSS now has user-defined functions. No preprocessor, no JavaScript, but native @function with typed parameters, local variables, and conditional logic built right into your CSS.

ohhhhhh yeah. that's the stuff.

just noticed this. feels bad.

000

(serious): impressed by how "boring" the iOS, macOS, and iPadOS pages are after looking past the Siri and Apple Intelligence highlights. have yet to review the developer pages, but I have some cautiously optimistic hope that this indicates stability and quality improvements are in the pipeline.

from the macOS page/section: "Ultrawide display support. Now you can get higher resolutions on ultrawide displays, such as 5K at 120Hz. And your display arrangements stay exactly as you left them, for a seamless experience every time you plug in." YES! genuine excitement.

A screenshot from https://www.apple.com/os/macos/?version=no-hero with the following content:

"Ultrawide display support. Now you can get higher resolutions on ultrawide displays, such as 5K at 120Hz. And your display arrangements stay exactly as you left them, for a seamless experience every time you plug in."

Siri. Siri. Siri AI. Apple Intelligence. Siri. over and over. it's everywhere in these marketing webpages. wholly skipping over sections featuring Siri and Apple Intelligence at this point. will reserve my attention for those when/if they ship.

"OS improvements" Oh, good! "Discover tons of refinements that make your devices even more responsive, reliable, and delightful to use." Yes. Yes, please! Let's look at the list: 1. Design refinements 2. Faster performance 3. Send indicator in Messages 4. Smoother network transitions Hm.

$Screenshot from https://www.apple.com/os/ featuring the "OS improvements" section: "OS improvements Every little detail makes it all delightful. Discover tons of refinements that make your devices even more responsive, reliable, and delightful to use. Design refinements. Updates to Liquid Glass ensure exceptional readability with more uniform refraction and improved contrast. And a new slider lets you easily customize how Liquid Glass looks, from ultraclear to fully tinted. Faster performance. From faster iPhone and iPad app launches to quicker AirDrop transfers, improvements across your devices make the things you do feel more responsive than ever. Send indicator in Messages. Send photos and videos in low-bandwidth situations without slowing the rest of your conversation. Text messages will continue to send, and a new send indicator lets you know exactly what’s been delivered. Smoother network transitions. Your iPhone and iPad more seamlessly choose the best available Wi‑Fi or cellular connection, so whether you’re getting directions as you leave home or taking a FaceTime call as you step off a plane, you’ll stay connected."$

Liquid Glass persists. (bold text): "Design refinements."

000

(naturally) Apple Intelligence appears everywhere. as does Siri. example question: "Siri, why do stars twinkle in the sky?"

000

first thing: Siri AI huh. ok. likely outcome (for me): keep siri disabled. I will test it, though. zero expectations.

missed the apple keynote. so, for fun, I will skip the various tech reporting sites and instead review apple's new webpages. - which new delights and horrors will I discover? - what will be foisted upon macOS? iOS? iPadOS? - how will things meaningfully improve? will they? good luck, me! fun!

hmm haven't encountered one of these for a bit of time when clicking a link. after brief testing, most links in a post or in-card in a post do not present the link popover dialog box. I wonder what the trigger logic is for these popovers.

A bsky popover dialog, encountered when attempting to open a link shared in a post, with the following text:

"Leaving Bluesky

This link is taking you to the following website:"

Ahmad, I deeply respect your work, your propensity to share, style of writing and structuring information, and, of course, your Layout Maestro course (it's great, by the way!). Keep doing what you do! Spreading knowledge and the resulting joy of learning are remarkable things!

sure would be neat if this already existed and looks/functions like rdio

000

oh right, forgot to add: - cross-platform, obviously (desktop, tablet, and mobile OSes) - AirPlay & Cast are necessities for many, me included - playlist creation and management as a first-class feature - library management: blended streaming + local to understand where your music lives

100

in closing: - rdio but made in 2026 - works w/current music streaming providers (either actual API or **cough cough** "API"/undocumented + wrapper) - local audio/media files play without issue - performant + quality audio playback - no podcasts, no shorts - using it produces smiles, not sighs
