I've been using PI for this - just switch to "oh my pi" and am liking it!

Honestly, it's been a dream, I have it running in a docker-sandbox with access to a single git repo (not hosted) that I am using for varied things with my business.

Try it out, it's super easy to setup. If you use docker sandbox, you can just follow what is necessary for claude, spin up the sandbox, exit out, exec into it with bash and switch to Pi.

I was on a plane two weeks ago, and this girl - likely 12 was trying to get the screen in the seat to work by tapping it. Her Mom (likely in her 30s) started doing the same thing, both confused.

I gave it a beat and then reached over and pushed the button to pop out the remote control for them. It was a cute head smack moment for the Mom and the daughter didn’t know what to do with the remote for a solid few seconds.

This happens to me as well when I’m in a public bathroom without a sensor, and I wave my hands underneath obliviously for a few moments.

Life is funny

Somewhat off topic but I always groan when I sit down and see those dusty ass Boing remotes under the entertainment system. They are so janky and old from wear.

I would say yes.

The reality is that the money being thrown = the time of humans. I guess compute as well, but in terms of people doing innovation - openly published things are the same thing, minus the money.

What always came to mind for me is an “engine wiring harness”. It’s responsible for getting power and data to all the right places without having to manually route cables around the engine / car.

If you google an image of it, maybe it’ll make sense

I've found immense value in this, am already doing it with Pi(https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono) and it's very easy to replicate

Seconding this—I had to wait a little bit to download it and play around and have some fun with it. I didn't mind.

What I appreciate the most about this string of comments (from OP) is that digging into "doing it for fun", hosting on your own machine, wanting simplicity for you as the maintainer and builder. This has been a big focus for me over a number of years, and it leads to things being not efficient, or scalable or even usable by others—but they bring me joy and that is more than enough for most things.

The reality is that there are of course ways to make this more efficient AND it simply doesn't need to be.

Good job on making something that people are clearly interested in, it brought me some joy clicking around and learning some things.

If you want it to be more than just this, of course you'll have to make it faster or have it be a different interface—installable offline typa thing so we can expect a bundle download and be fine with waiting. For example I can see this as a native app being kinda nice.

If you don't want it to be more than this, that's okay too.

Regardless, well done

I know you did this in a weekend, but it would be super nice to get some screenshots, or a video into what makes this different.

I also don't know what the "river/awesome philosophy" is, so therefore I don't know what this WM does that makes it different than something like Rectangle for example.

And truth be told, I'm not going to look it up. I am only adding this comment because I'm sure there will be a ton of other people that fall into the same category as me.

Good luck though, super cool to see that you built this in a weekend!

Thanks for the feedback. You are absolutely right—visuals are critical.

I am currently focusing heavily on core functionality and API stability. Once things settle down a bit, adding screenshots and a demo video is next on my to-do list.

To answer your question simply: 1. Rectangle is a "manual" tool—you press keys to move windows. Yashiki is "automatic"—it resizes and arranges windows for you instantly as you open them. 2. The "River philosophy" means it uses Tags instead of fixed Workspaces. Think of it like assigning labels to windows rather than putting them in separate rooms.

I'll make sure to clarify this in the README with visuals soon.

AI reply. Hmm

I essentially do a 1 click deployment for my personal site with Cloudflare.

I don't want to deal with the cloud infra for my personal site.

I could, I've done it in corporate, I've done it for my startup 2 years ago. But I'm rusty, I don't know what the latest people are using for configuration, etc.

Because there is 1 click with CF or Vercel and I don't have to think about it—I don't. If they increase their price it likely wouldn't be enough friction for me dust off the rust.

I think this is the relation. I'm not locked in, it's just HTML pages, but I am through my own habit energy, tech changing, and what I want to put effort into, which is not infra and serving my site.

Yeah I see the benefit right off the bat, this is a direct head to Vercel and NextJS.

With that said, I have no idea on the market share or profitability of any of that or Cloudflare vs Vercel.

Also perhaps the rails that will be put in place for seamless 1 click Astro deploy will continue to push them forward with other technologies as well, so it's not just about Astro.

I do feel that fear as well, is this an unnecessary distraction for CloudFlare? Time will tell.

I think just an oversight—disposables weren't really around at the time the time that the ban happened. 2019, people were mostly smoking Juul and having those crazy custom rigs that they fill with the juice. Disposables really started to take off around 2021 - 2022. Atleast that's what I saw with people around me in NY and California.
