GLFW has merged proper support for client-side window decorations on Wayland!
If you find the list "odd" feel free to change it on Wikipedia. Also Mir is literally a Wayland compositor as stated by the git repo. To my limited understanding (I never done anything with it, I only saw it on the Wikipedia list) it's quite similar to wlroots.

Interesting opinions on the shortcomings of Wayland
i see mir development still active on github tho https://github.com/MirServer/mir
- Can some one explain to me in basic terms why snaps are so disliked?

How X Window Managers Work, and How to Write One
People have already mentioned wlroots as a starting point, but there is a less opinionated and more compatible (NVIDIA-ready) library that I’m really quite fond of called Mir: https://github.com/MirServer/mir
One thing to note, Wayland, unlike X, does not support server side decorations yet, so compositor’s responsibilities are mostly just placing windows.

Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?
I use the tiling WM spectrwm. It lets me pull windows out of tiling mode and into window mode. I think a common operation on most tiling window managers. Most of the time I don't want overlapping windows(thus the tiling WM) but every once in a while I do, so the best of both worlds.
It is a bit obscure but I quite like spectrwm, it fills this sweet spot where it is much simpler than I3 but much more feature complete than DWM.

- Install spectrwm from git?
-
Easy window manager?
Spectrwm is by far the easiest WM I've tested. Also Fluxbox is pretty much straightforward.
-
Which WM should I use ?
Spectrwm is by far the most beginner-friendly WM I've ever tested. Im now running EXWM the buffers management is something else.
-
How can I undo mod+v?
I'm a recent convert to i3/sway, after a solid decade using spectrwm (which has not been ported to Wayland, I'm afraid).
-
Spectrwm bar class name?
This is supposedly fixed in the master branch, but there has been no release in over a year - I'll just set corner and shadow excludes and sit down. I'll notice when a new release is here :)
