About

SpacePigeon is a native macOS application, powered by Hammerspoon, designed to manage and automate workspace layouts. It allows users to define 'workspaces' that dictate which applications open, their assigned desktop spaces, and how windows are arranged. The app facilitates seamless transitions between different workflows (e.g., "Work", "Chill", "Stream") with a single click or hotkey. Key features include automatic installation of Hammerspoon, a native visual configuration UI (eliminating manual Lua coding), multi-monitor support, smart app launching with browser URLs and deep links, automatic window positioning (maximize, split left/right), and global hotkey bindings for presets. It also includes a "Keep Alive Apps" feature to prevent specified applications from quitting when switching presets.

Design Review

The design of the SpacePigeon GitHub page is consistent with GitHub's established aesthetic: clean, functional, and highly readable. The layout is well-structured, making it easy to navigate the project's information, features, and installation instructions. Typography is clear, utilizing a system sans-serif font for optimal legibility. The use of white space is effective, preventing visual clutter. Interactive elements, such as links and buttons, are clearly distinguishable with GitHub's signature blue accent color. While the page itself adheres to GitHub's standard design, the description of SpacePigeon's own UI highlights a "full native UI" and "Visual Configuration," suggesting a user-friendly and intuitive experience for managing workspaces, which is a strong design choice for a utility application. The overall design prioritizes usability and information accessibility, making the project easy to understand and interact with.
