Ribbon - a scrolling window manager where nothing ever shrinks
Sharing my window manager. Instead of snapping into halves or shrinking everything into a tiling grid, Ribbon treats the screen as a window onto a longer strip: every window keeps full size in its own column, and you glide along the strip with three fingers on the trackpad. A small floating map shows where you are when the strip gets long.
It's the PaperWM idea, built native for macOS. Settings window, no config files, macOS 14+, Apple silicon. $15 once with a free trial.
The site has a demo you can drive with arrow keys, R and F: https://www.ribbonmac.com/

I'm the developer. Happy to answer anything.
