Well, some people there didn't understand what Nubs is about at all judging from some posts there. Comparing it to a starter-dock app is plain stupid.

Has anyone been able to get this program to work? I've had the devil of a time trying to get it to work. I'm sure that it's probably something on my end, but I haven't found anything that could be the problem yet.

Nubs?
Nubs is easy.
Drag an open window to the side of you screen . . BOOM! . . nub.
What are you having trouble with?

Believe it or not, but nowhere in the readme or any other file did I see such simple instructions. And I couldn't figure out why sometimes when I would open a window it would work and the other times no nubs. 
This just goes to show how even a simple proggie can be frustrating if you don't include (good) instructions for use, no matter how simple or straight forward it may seem to you (the developer).
Thanks for the info Zubaz.
Happy Nubbing to all, and to all a good night!

I start to really love nubs, and use it more and more frequent.
I had exactly the same problem. The first time I gave up and removed it.

Ahh... so people are actually noticing the lack of documentation hu? 
Took me a while to figure out how to use it also. I'd never seen or heard of Sticky Windows (the Mac equivalent) so it was all new to me, however, thanks to some helpful commenters, I got it working finally.

Maybe time for a wiki?

YOu start it, I'll help populate it.
