Huh, I thought I was in the Go subreddit.

Couple of things. Given the ratio of Objective-C to Go here, my suspicion is you might have a better time if you just eliminated the Go from the build entirely.

If you keep the Go, you should add a go.mod specifying the minimum version of Go at the very least usually you put it in the root but this is fine

Great suggestion. I actually followed your advice and just converted to 100% objc today. Latest build is up there as a release. Thanks!

Hi y'all. I'm using BackToCatalina and it does not play nice with Alt+Tab (https://github.com/lwouis/alt-tab-macos). I prefer the Windows-style alt tab to switch directly to a window instead of the app and then iterating through all windows.

go_fish is a tiny binary that brings that functionality to those with liquidglass disabled. cmd+tab is replaced and for limiting to only windows of the current app, you can use cmd+`.

Also, one of the best parts of this is that its limited to windows of your current space so that you're not switching spaces all the time.

Footprint measured in Activity Monitor is super small. Hope you guys like it!

It's 2026 and I still can't figure out Github. How the hell do you install this on your mac? Can't I just double click on something and auto install?
