Show HN: Tiling Shell – Bringing Modern Window Management to Gnome

5 points

2 years ago

Hey HN, I’m excited to share Tiling Shell, an open-source GNOME extension I created to bring a more modern, user-friendly window management experience to Linux. Many existing solutions feel outdated and lack in user experience, so my goal with Tiling Shell is to bring a fresh, integrated approach that works well for both newcomers and advanced users.

Key Features: - Easily manage, edit, create, and delete custom layouts with a built-in editor. - Works seamlessly across multiple monitors, even with different scaling factors. - Provides Windows 11’s snap assistant functionalities, supports keybindings and much more!

I’m excited to keep improving Tiling Shell, adding more customization options and compatibility features. Check it out here: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/7065/tiling-shell/

The GitHub repo (https://github.com/domferr/tilingshell) contains more details and demos. I’d love to gather feedback from the HN community on features, improvements, and ideas for future versions <3
