I3wm Alt+Tab Workspace Switcher

In plain words

I3wm Alt+Tab Workspace Switcher is a tool for the i3 window manager that enables Alt+Tab workspace switching, similar to traditional desktop environments. It allows users to switch between workspaces using familiar keyboard shortcuts rather than remembering workspace-specific keybindings. The tool is designed for i3 users seeking faster, more intuitive workspace navigation using visual cues in a switcher overlay interface.

  I built a tool to solve window management2025 · aboveaverageuser.com · ▲54

  Hello, my name is Andrew. I'm an indie developer and I'm excited to release Smart Switcher for Windows 10/11. I'm looking for feedback on the overall project and the application itself. I built this because I couldn't find a window switching/management solution that worked for me. I tried all kinds of different solutions, virtual desktop extensions, obscure GUI window managers, you name it. Overtime I realized I wanted something that prioritizes one window at a time, is keyboard driven with has minimal if no GUI elements. I figured this part out, but knew something was missing. I…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
