El Capitan - Quick app access

Hope you like it bros! Press "L" if you do, and follow me if you don't want to miss some upcoming work.

Watch the HD Youtube Video to recap all the concepts for El Capitan.

----------

Here is a quick exploration for a quick app access.

Sometimes, we need to focus on one task. This is why we are now able to bring apps to fullscreen. But one thing is missing: The ability to quickly access another app (to answer a message, grab a file) without switching desktop.
Currently, If you clicking on an app from the dock, it will switch the desktop, and then you will have to find your way back to where you were before. Usually when I did that, I find myself wandering a bit before going back.

I was thinking about a quick app access (triggered by swiping from bottom with 2 fingers, or after you hover the icon for a certain amount of time) letting you access a minimized version of the app.

This way, you can grab a file, answer a message, delete an email quickly, without being too much impacted by the interruption.

Have a happy day and take care,
