The CTRL + A for superhuman going from your current selection all the way down ignoring the content above can just be done with SHIFT + END. CTRL + A with how it works normally makes sense as it selects *A* ll the items and not just everything below, whereas SHIFT + END selects everythiung from where you are to the *END* of the list.
Honestly seeing some of this very talented, bright, and experienced users discover some basic features that *even* Windows (not Linux) has had for decades is mind boggling to me. Something I would consider table stakes is like life changing things to them when Apple releases it as a feature after decades or someone created a Mac application for it.
Rectangle: Aka basically what the window management in Windows 11 (and to an extent Windows 10) does by default. That shit should be something Apple should just ship in MacOS, with all the "It just works" Mac is known for
I really wanted to like Arc but I just couldn't adjust. The performance of some of the split view features was terrible and the idea of keeping long-term bookmarks alongside short-term tabs never stuck with me. I tried Edge recently, and it pissed me off how much I enjoyed it. It runs more smoothly than any other browser I've tried, and you can make the interface even more minimal than Arc if you want to. It's now my daily driver. Wish I was paid to say it but it's the truth.
I use some of the features all the time. The preview for websites where it creates a summary is so useful when debugging. You know immediately if the page is related to the error or not
Theo, great tips, the typescript error plugin, the supermaven and the rectangle already got me and I installed them while I was watching the video. Looking forward to using it daily
I started looking into productivity tools after I burnt out almost 2 years ago and was desperately trying to find something to "fix" me. So after about 15 years, I switched from Chrome to Arc. And my experience was VERY similar to yours - I switched away after a week or two, but gave it a shot after a few months and fell in love with it, and I'm not a developer. I also don't use any of the AI features, but it just makes my tabs so easy to organise. It also feels so smooth and looks clean. On the other hand, it eats just as much RAM as most other Chromium-based browsers 😅
CTRL + A not selecting all(yknow, that's what the A stands for) but just mirroring properly implemented SHIFT + END behaviour is ridiculous. Like.. I cannot fathom why anyone who likes keyboard shortcuts would find breaking existing behaviour to duplicate another existing behaviour good in any way shape or form. Also, if you want real storage on your network, honestly, synology is a bit of a cheap-but-expensive option, if you're willing to put the time in there's much better ways to create storage(hell, 1500 bucks for an empty enclosure almost affords you a proper server with a real CPU instead of that embedded-cpu stuff synology sells you) that's available on the network with better hardware, redundancy and throughput. Like just to give a perspective - synology only last year introduced ECC RAM by default, something a storage device should have had 10 years ago, especially when you're dealing with double- or even triple-digit terabyte systems.
The thing is, not everyone can or wants to invest the hours to make a self build Server work. Synology is really simple and quick to setup and it just works without requiring further attention (hardening, updating, dealing with random issues which can pop up on proper servers). Combined with the fact, that it has many really useful build in utilities (HyperBackup, Container Manager, Domain Controller, SSO Server, Drive and Office, Mail Server, etc) makes this not a bad option. Yes, I can build something much more capable for half the price of a Synology (if I don't try to fit it into a 1U Rack Enclosure), but I also need like 5 times the time for that to get a solution which still isn't as reliable as Synology. I would recommend Synology for a NAS any day of the week over something self build. Just don't try to run heavy compute on it.
@@alpha2727 it's literally just a low-end computer with a NAS OS tho. The latter of which you can get for free. 3 or 4 hours of R&D+building for a basic system(are you really gonna argue people won't put in a few hours for this but set up a domain controller and SSO server? :'D) vs the 1k$ markup for the brand. I'd say in this economy most people will know which one makes more sense for them and knowing about more options doesn't hurt, innit? ;)
@@IzzyIkigai Projecting what exactly? lol A distaste for contrarians? -- you got me, I definitely think people should keep their whining to themselves 🤡
We run our design agency off a Synology NAS and its honestly been great for us so far, people can access it remotely as well which is great. Only had issues with it once when moving offices, but was quick to figure out and fix
Owww so that’s arc!! I love how it looks like! I guess from all the tools I would try arc and rectangle :)) Great content! Would love to know more about how you keep your setup so minimal and simple tho
btw arc browser is available in Windows. But I believe only on windows 11, but they are trying hard to get older windows versions supported to. Also they will work on a android and Linux version in the future. Fun fact: Arc is written in Swift, and they compiled the swift code to windows somehow (I am not an swift dev but I think that’s normally not easily possible) Sadly the windows version is not exactly as good as the macOS version, but it will be soon, therefore I am certain
A fun open-source alternative to Rectangle if you're coming from i3 on MacOS is Yabai. I have mine setup so that my first desktop is a normal floating space, but all other desktops which I use for dev work are automatically tiled.
I am a heavy advocate for instead using an old pc or buying a second hand to turn into a nas. For instance, I have been helping a friend build his own first nas for less than half the cost of a 4 bay Synology NAS. Not only is the price a bonus, the processor is 50% faster, it has 8x more ram (which is very important if you are running apps or game servers). It is more repairable, can expand to more drives for cheaper, and can be upgraded in the future. Perhaps you should do your own NAS build video and/or go over your experience using it, even comparing it to something like a Synology NAS? Things such as cost, ease of use, etc.
Another cool thing about Synology is, if you have multiple locations where you do your work you can have a second Synology at the other location and I use I think it’s called SyncThing to sync your data between the two locations. Doesn’t even have to be all your data it can be maybe just your active coding projects and not all the VODs for example
Excited to learn about Supermaven! I tried many types of coding AI integrations but always felt disappointed by the lack of repository context awareness
Webstorm does it, and many more too. And while they dont pay me for promoting them (I would like to be paid though), it surprises me how often people brag about what their vscode can do with "only 100500 plugins" when there is tool that does many of that by default.
Another superior opinion: Jetbrains IDEs also support database type checking and DataGrip is the best DB studio ever. So you might not need drizzle either...
I really like Amethyst as a WM since I've been forced on to a MBP for work. No crazy config required and makes me feel at home coming from other tilers.
this video was so worth it just for finally learning about duckduckgo bangs. I've seen people using it before but I never knew that it was actually ddg doing the magic.
Worth noting that Synology boxes start quite a bit cheaper depending on your needs. If you just want something for storage and to have their super good OS, they aren't near that expensive.
I was very skeptical of Synology for a while too since their hardware is comparatively weak and I was used to running FreeNAS…but now that I switched I’m loving the set it and forget experience.
If you've heard of trueNAS, give them a shot. Also very set and forget, except you can use an old PC and it doesn't stop working after a few years when it loses support from Synology. I have 2 Synology bricks now that I can't put any OS on or otherwise use, but have known RCEs that will forever stay unpatched. TrueNAS also isn't limited by an app store and you can spin up custom VMs or just containers.
@@Bean-Time I have played with TrueNAS. When support gets dropped for my Synology maybe I’ll give it a go again. However, I don’t upgrade my Synology due to loss of settings and need of SMB 1.0 for older DOS based systems accessing it. So technically they can drop support for it today and it wouldn’t affect me.
@@charlesbcraig Valid, I'm not sure if TrueNAS has SMB 1.0. Also DOS?! Have you heard of DOS-Box? It's a pretty full featured portable emulator. I had doubts but I was able to get some critical legacy program (Paleozoic era) running using the serial bus and everything.
Been using Kagi recently, quite like it but need to give it more time to see. 100% agree on Synology, technically you could go cheaper by making your own system but the software just makes it great especially for stuff like running lightweight docker containers.
i can’t get enough of arc it’s really that good now i use windows and we don’t have the ai features yet but they are incredible on ios they even have a feature where you can call the max ai and it’s completely free no limits
I switched to Arc on my Windows desktop as well. Working well as a daily driver. Also, I just checked - it looks like it released for public usage on Windows too !
Hi Theo, Could you do a round up of the best public repos from great saas products that we should know about? Thinking about Posthog as you showed, but also Sentry etc?
I love my Synology DS, but I hate that they don't have any "upgrade path" between devices. I'm currently stuck on DS414, and there's no way to upgrade to a larger device without buying enough drives to fit all the stuff I already have disks for, set everything up again, and copy all of the files over. I really wish there was an upgrade path of just moving all the disks over to a larger DiskStation device, and have it figure it out all itself 😟
@@t3dotgg I think some of the models, probably the + models, including yours, support extension devices that you can connect. So you're not as stuck as I am. Still sucks though, because even if you don't need more space, it might for example be nice to upgrade to a faster model in the future.
It does do this. There are a few models that aren't compatible with each other, but it should be fine. There are articles for it on their website. It can either do it for you by moving files/settings automatically or just swap the drives to the new model. I've done the later personally before.
I would love some kind of firefox plugin for that search feature arc has. Not really interested in switching over, but that search thing is really cool
Do you have thoughts on Cursor? Im wondering as to how it compares to supermaven for code generation from scratch as well as file modifications with chat. Always appreciate your videos!
What's the usecase for selecting all emails older than the selected one? Imo it should work the other way around, select an email and all newer emails.
About Superhuman. Their command+A is actually the command+shift+arrow-down key combination. Command+A should select all, it should not select all from the current point.
Sorry I don't use a computer that's pretty mainstream. Have you heard of a transputer? An asynchronous thread level parallel set of CPUs? No? Well anyway I use a set of custom TI-89s a wired like a single CPU. And basically if you don't use that I'm better than you. Any idea when Arc comes to the Motorola 68000?
I tried Arc some weeks ago on Windows, it's so sad it doesn't offer the same amount of feature (yet !?) on Windows than Mac, but I will keep an eye open to test it back in some time!
Used to have a synology, but started running into issues with their proprietary stuff. Ended up dumping them for truenas, can do everything and so much more.
Small correction, Arc is actually now generally available on Windows (but buggy I’ve been told). I love it too on MacOS. How are you not using Raycast? I’m a heavy user of super fast basic features like window management (bye Rectangle), clipboard history, deep links and snippets, and I’m only using 10% of its capabilities. Great tips! Like the Typescript extension, thank you 🙏
@@brandonjoaocastillo7490 NixOS is a linux distribuition with a few special features that make it stand out. Most notably you have a big configuration file where you declare how you want your system to be set up. This means that you can for example take this config file and put in on a new computer and instantly get exactly the setup you want. Nix is the name of the programming language used for configuration and Nix is also the name for the package manager. Among others, Nix(OS) focuses on reproducibility, reliablility and (better) containerization. You can give the nix package manager a try without installing NixOS on all linux distros, windows with wsl and even macOS :)
@@brandonjoaocastillo7490 nixos is a linux distribution centered around the nix package manager. it uses the nix langage to be declared. nixos is not like other linux distributions but instead you have a configuration file where you declare how you want your system to be configured. fancy words around this include declarative, immutability and reproducibility. this means you can just take your configuration file and share it with your friend and within a matter of seconds he will have your exact setup. also the nix package manager has some really clever features like every app being "containerized" and bundled with all its dependencies. you can even have the same program installed with different versions if you want to! this means you will never have the "works on my machine" with your colleagues again :)
your tool use ones are how i found you initially months ago. services mostly. while may not be completely free overall, have generous free tiers such that if you actually need a paid version it's the equivalent of an accounting round-off error at that point anyway. it's how everything should be run if at all possible. if you need to pay for it, you're at the point where you don't care you need to pay for it. can you do an update on those? some of the ones you listed earlier no longer offer the relative value they used to. if you could include services/tools you don't use because they don't fit what you're currently working on - but should you have a need for the service would fit - really useful. like, seriously useful, i think i tried to sign up for all the ones you mentioned in the other video, and still use a majority. have them affiliate you first, it's win-win. it's a strange feeling having to demand companies to advertise to me via you, but your the filter I've found to be accurate. a consultant i don't have to send a 1099 to lol
Window snapping is like the most basic thing an OS with a window-based GUI should come with out of the box, no question I use the Win+arrow keys on windows all the time
Arc actually works great for windows 11 currently. Yes it lacks many of the AI features but yeah the implementation is great and I would really suggest you to try it you like their take on the browser
People seem to forget that MS Edge has workspaces (in addition to profiles) which IMHO are better than Spaces. Also in MS edge you get e clear list of open tabs, which in Arc you lose especially if you are in a space with lots of pinned sites (AKA bookmarks).
I'm not sure why you say Synology is a proprietary OS with unknown filesystems. It's a GNU/Linux variant, and you can create volumes of any Linux filesystem type. btrfs, xfs, etc.
I've heard good things about the Synology. I'm using the 8-bay QNAP and it looks almost identical feature wise. I've been very happy with it. I'm never using Drobo again. I had 3/3 separate Drobos fail (the drobo itself) and lost my data 3/3 times. Definitely going to check out Posthog. Thanks for the recommendation. Been liking Arc. Tabs on the sidebar instead of top make a lot of sense. Especially since webpages are normally portrait and monitors are landscape. Does superhuman allow you to give it instructions? I've been using Cody AI. It's been great because I can give it instructions like "make me a sidenav and put it into its own component". It only seems to have context of the currently open file though which is kind of lame.
@@lorinh2947 ctrl+tab switches tabs in the same window. alt + ~ switches windows, but only those of the same application (unless youre using Edge or Adobe Reader, they already make each tab behave like a separate window for some reason)
My fav mac software: Raycast, iTerm 2, Screen Studio, Cleanshot X, HyperKey (caps lock -> meta used with RayCast with shortcuts) I used Rectangle FOREVER, but with Raycast I was able to replace it
That "rectangle" thing Windows has a similar feature built-in, but with mouse dragging the window. If you drag a window and hug the mouse cursor to the left/right edge of the screen, it'll take up half the screen, or corner for quarter of the screen. If you then resize the window to be narrower or wider, then place a window on the other half's edge, it'll take up the remainder of the screen.
Instead of synology, you can just also setup your own mini-PC and attach those drives yourself, maybe using ZFS or any software RAID under Linux.. Right?
Arc has hit 1.0 in Windows. It’s not feature for feature compatible with the macOS version yet but as with the mcOS version they are updating it weekly
For windows 11 users (yeah some of us use windows 11 to code, crazy but it is what it is). regarding the Rectangle app on MacOS that theo use, We can simply hit CTRL + Win + Arrow (Up/Down/Right/Left), Out of the box.
I think that if you are using raycast you basically don't need to install rectangle, because window management is installed already, or maybe it's a plugin I don't remember how I got it setup, but yeah, you can have it there configured how you like :)

I'm currently stuck on DS414, and there's no way to upgrade to a larger device without buying enough drives to fit all the stuff I already have disks for, set everything up again, and copy all of the files over. I really wish there was an upgrade path of just moving all the disks over to a larger DiskStation device, and have it figure it out all itself 😟
This is context I didn’t have and I’m happy I do now. Hopefully I don’t need to upgrade again 🙃🙃
@@t3dotgg I think some of the models, probably the + models, including yours, support extension devices that you can connect. So you're not as stuck as I am. Still sucks though, because even if you don't need more space, it might for example be nice to upgrade to a faster model in the future.
It does do this.
There are a few models that aren't compatible with each other, but it should be fine. There are articles for it on their website.
It can either do it for you by moving files/settings automatically or just swap the drives to the new model. I've done the later personally before.
please do these type of videos more, i always wondered how you did !yt and stuff and tried my best searching for it now ik this sorcery thanks again
I would love some kind of firefox plugin for that search feature arc has. Not really interested in switching over, but that search thing is really cool
Been using prettyts since your first rant ❤
Do you have thoughts on Cursor? Im wondering as to how it compares to supermaven for code generation from scratch as well as file modifications with chat. Always appreciate your videos!
Arc is now available for windows but I am not able to find all these features you talked about.
Loved this video. More please ❤
I agree about Arc. It won me over the second time I gave it a try.
What's the usecase for selecting all emails older than the selected one? Imo it should work the other way around, select an email and all newer emails.
About Superhuman. Their command+A is actually the command+shift+arrow-down key combination. Command+A should select all, it should not select all from the current point.
really great vid, I love exploring new tools
Sorry I don't use a computer that's pretty mainstream. Have you heard of a transputer? An asynchronous thread level parallel set of CPUs? No? Well anyway I use a set of custom TI-89s a wired like a single CPU. And basically if you don't use that I'm better than you. Any idea when Arc comes to the Motorola 68000?
Please could you tell me what VSC theme you are using. I actually like the theme a lot
I tried Arc some weeks ago on Windows, it's so sad it doesn't offer the same amount of feature (yet !?) on Windows than Mac, but I will keep an eye open to test it back in some time!
Oh how I wish Arc had a Linux version. I miss it on my desktop every day.
Used to have a synology, but started running into issues with their proprietary stuff. Ended up dumping them for truenas, can do everything and so much more.
Small correction, Arc is actually now generally available on Windows (but buggy I’ve been told). I love it too on MacOS.
How are you not using Raycast? I’m a heavy user of super fast basic features like window management (bye Rectangle), clipboard history, deep links and snippets, and I’m only using 10% of its capabilities.
Great tips! Like the Typescript extension, thank you 🙏
0:20 nix os users being 3 parallel universes ahead of you
Lol yeah this - nix has been so good for this, especially combined with a good dotfiles repo
can you pls explain me waht nix is for? I never got to understand it
@@brandonjoaocastillo7490 NixOS is a linux distribuition with a few special features that make it stand out. Most notably you have a big configuration file where you declare how you want your system to be set up. This means that you can for example take this config file and put in on a new computer and instantly get exactly the setup you want. Nix is the name of the programming language used for configuration and Nix is also the name for the package manager. Among others, Nix(OS) focuses on reproducibility, reliablility and (better) containerization. You can give the nix package manager a try without installing NixOS on all linux distros, windows with wsl and even macOS :)
@@brandonjoaocastillo7490 nixos is a linux distribution centered around the nix package manager. it uses the nix langage to be declared. nixos is not like other linux distributions but instead you have a configuration file where you declare how you want your system to be configured. fancy words around this include declarative, immutability and reproducibility. this means you can just take your configuration file and share it with your friend and within a matter of seconds he will have your exact setup. also the nix package manager has some really clever features like every app being "containerized" and bundled with all its dependencies. you can even have the same program installed with different versions if you want to! this means you will never have the "works on my machine" with your colleagues again :)
your tool use ones are how i found you initially months ago. services mostly. while may not be completely free overall, have generous free tiers such that if you actually need a paid version it's the equivalent of an accounting round-off error at that point anyway. it's how everything should be run if at all possible. if you need to pay for it, you're at the point where you don't care you need to pay for it. can you do an update on those? some of the ones you listed earlier no longer offer the relative value they used to. if you could include services/tools you don't use because they don't fit what you're currently working on - but should you have a need for the service would fit - really useful. like, seriously useful, i think i tried to sign up for all the ones you mentioned in the other video, and still use a majority. have them affiliate you first, it's win-win. it's a strange feeling having to demand companies to advertise to me via you, but your the filter I've found to be accurate. a consultant i don't have to send a 1099 to lol
If getting productive with a new computer worries you use Ansible!
Window snapping is like the most basic thing an OS with a window-based GUI should come with out of the box, no question
I use the Win+arrow keys on windows all the time
Arc actually works great for windows 11 currently. Yes it lacks many of the AI features but yeah the implementation is great and I would really suggest you to try it you like their take on the browser
People seem to forget that MS Edge has workspaces (in addition to profiles) which IMHO are better than Spaces. Also in MS edge you get e clear list of open tabs, which in Arc you lose especially if you are in a space with lots of pinned sites (AKA bookmarks).
using command+shfit+arrow keys also selects everything from you current selector to some direction onwards
I'm not sure why you say Synology is a proprietary OS with unknown filesystems. It's a GNU/Linux variant, and you can create volumes of any Linux filesystem type. btrfs, xfs, etc.
I've heard good things about the Synology. I'm using the 8-bay QNAP and it looks almost identical feature wise. I've been very happy with it.
I'm never using Drobo again. I had 3/3 separate Drobos fail (the drobo itself) and lost my data 3/3 times.
Definitely going to check out Posthog. Thanks for the recommendation.
Been liking Arc. Tabs on the sidebar instead of top make a lot of sense. Especially since webpages are normally portrait and monitors are landscape.
Does superhuman allow you to give it instructions? I've been using Cody AI. It's been great because I can give it instructions like "make me a sidenav and put it into its own component". It only seems to have context of the currently open file though which is kind of lame.
cmd+~ or alt+~ is the shortcut I was missing in my life.
What does alt ~ do?
It's like alt+tab but within the same context/window
@@archytype.mp3 What different from that than ctrl+tab?
@@lorinh2947 idk
@@lorinh2947 ctrl+tab switches tabs in the same window. alt + ~ switches windows, but only those of the same application
(unless youre using Edge or Adobe Reader, they already make each tab behave like a separate window for some reason)
bro i miss you. it's been while since i watched your videos. now have lot of your video to watch loool less goo
Def more content for us productivity nerds!
cant wait to see the posthog tutorial!!
Why do I suddenly get the urge to listen to Panic! at the Disco whenever I see your videos on my home page?
holy fuck.. $30/month in an email app is absolutely insane
My fav mac software: Raycast, iTerm 2, Screen Studio, Cleanshot X, HyperKey (caps lock -> meta used with RayCast with shortcuts)
I used Rectangle FOREVER, but with Raycast I was able to replace it
Raycast FTW! Literal game changer. Do you know what Spotlight replacement Theo uses?
That "rectangle" thing
Windows has a similar feature built-in, but with mouse dragging the window. If you drag a window and hug the mouse cursor to the left/right edge of the screen, it'll take up half the screen, or corner for quarter of the screen. If you then resize the window to be narrower or wider, then place a window on the other half's edge, it'll take up the remainder of the screen.
You can also do that with the windows key and arrow keys.
And Rectangle and Magnet also offer edge dragging.
Also, I have the Arc Browser on Mac and Windows. The Windows version has a lot of bugs and issues, works super smooth and nice on my mac though.
Instead of synology, you can just also setup your own mini-PC and attach those drives yourself, maybe using ZFS or any software RAID under Linux.. Right?
Sure, but it's a nontrivial amount of work, but of course also more flexible.
Arc has hit 1.0 in Windows. It’s not feature for feature compatible with the macOS version yet but as with the mcOS version they are updating it weekly
13:20 This looks so similar to crazy C++ template errors, even the error IDs (TSnnnn) look like the ones given by MSVC 😂
For windows 11 users (yeah some of us use windows 11 to code, crazy but it is what it is).
regarding the Rectangle app on MacOS that theo use, We can simply hit CTRL + Win + Arrow (Up/Down/Right/Left), Out of the box.
Win + Arrow
Theo trying to get more sponsors 😂😂
Oh my god didn't now about Posthog. Thank you!
I think that if you are using raycast you basically don't need to install rectangle, because window management is installed already, or maybe it's a plugin I don't remember how I got it setup, but yeah, you can have it there configured how you like :)
Note: Arc is been released on Windows some weeks ago without any referral and receive periodical bug fixes as Arc on Mac
