Medium didn't pay me to post this article on HN. I'm its author and I figured it could help some people.

Anyway. How is it not a good article? Is it obvious for people to use window managers? Is everybody aware of their existence? Was Medium not the right place to post it?

Medium is probably the perfect place to post it, but that doesn't mean it's relevant to HN. What part of the HN audience did you predict would be helped?

Developers who haven't done their research properly?

Maybe you need to give HN readers a bit more credit. This is like posting - What is Vim?

Likelihood of HN reader not knowing this is probably pretty low.

I'll keep that in mind in the future. I thought the HN audience didn't only include knowledgeable developers.
