   3 ## Minimum Window Sizes of Mac Apps
   4
   5 I use tiled window managers, and some layouts work better with smaller windows, but not all mac apps can do that so this is a collection of minimum window sizes of different apps to help me find which ones are better suited for my workflow.

   7 I use the following thresholds:
   8
   9 * <= 250 = TINY
  10 * > 250 and <= 400 = SMALL
  11 * > 400 and <= 500 = MEDIUM
  12 * > 500 <= 800 = LARGE
  13 * > 800 = HUGE
