Minimized – My favorite apps at their smallest | 52 Tiger →

I use Apple’s 11” MacBook Air, so screen real estate is precious to me. When I saw Ged Maheux tweet this image from Gavin Nelson, comparing the relative size of three minimized Twitter clients, I wondered about other apps. With that in mind, I’ve minimized the main window of the apps I use most often. I also took a screenshot to represent how they look on MacBook Air’s small screen.

This is a great overview. With Apple’s gentle nudges towards full screen, it’s a reminder that many apps are just as lovely and suitable at their smallest.
