That video immediately made me wish this was available for Mac, it seemed to fit my brain's model of how things should be.

Check out AeroSpace. It’s pretty amazing. I’m wondering if it can be made to do things like Niri.

After hopping around MacOS window managers, I landed on Aerospace. For MacOS it's by far the best, and can do most of the things I want.

But it still feels like a plastic fork and knife compared to Niri. Really wish Apple would open up more of their desktop APIs..

Does anybody have experience comparing it with Yabai?

I only tried out Yabai once I discovered AeroSpace in order to compare. I immediately appreciated AeroSpace's take on just completely sidestepping MacOS spaces.

It's not quite the same as Niri, but in case you haven't seen there is _A_ tiling window manager for Mac: Amethyst

No 'endless scrolling' aspect, but I find it works great for managing window sizing and bopping around your windows via keyboard.

Should have mentioned that I use Moom at the moment on Mac, and I love it. It's that scrolling paradigm that interests me here though.
