So, I saw this when I was browsing HN from my phone and made a note to come back and check it out on my Mac when I was home. I started playing around with the settings and customizing the behaviors, and within about five minutes, I thought: "I really like this."

It's not perfect, but it's off to a great start. I can't really provide useful feedback until I've spent more time integrating it into my workflow. But I can tell you that I test-drive a lot of apps that look interesting and this is one of the rare gems that I knew right away is a good fit for me.

But the best part: Apple broke the workflow for cycling open windows via hotkey more than a decade ago and they haven't fixed it. Closing or interacting with a window in the middle of cycling through them causes the order to reverse. Interacting with another window causes it to reverse again. It's madness. I used to hope to see it fixed with each major releases. I've long since given up on that. Apparently, no one in the c-suite at Apple manages dozens of open windows on a daily basis.

Your app solves this problem, one that has been tripping me up for sixteen years. Thank you. For that alone, I'd have kept it installed. The rest is just gravy on top.

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to come back and try it out, and for writing such a thoughtful comment. This really made my day. Comments like this are incredibly motivating :)
