River: A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor
I used to love GOOMWWM[1] and used it for the longest time. I miss a lot of things about it, still. It doesn't quite meet your requirements, looks-wise its very minimal and it doesn't have snapping, but I really liked the idea behind it: make a keyboard-centric stacking/floating window manager that gives you enough control that it can be used as if it were a (manual[2]) tiling window manager. It really feels like a tiling window manager and its fantastic!

[2] I personally use sway these days, but I still prefer manual tiling where I move and size windows myself, rather than having the WM try to do it for me, as long as the WM makes it very easy to do, as goomwwm did (and its predecessor, musca: https://github.com/enticeing/musca)

Switching to the I3 Window Manager
I came to filing window managers through musca[1] and then goomwwm[2] (Get Out Of My Way Window Manager) and then switched to i3 (and more recently, away) because both Musca and goomwwm haven’t been updated in years.
I still miss Musca and goomwwm. They didn’t require any visualisation of the hierarchy, things were just layer out next to each other without a hierarchy and just worked. It was very intuitive. Goomwwm went a step further: it’s not technically a tiling window manager at all, but rather a floating window manager (so you can have your windows overlap if you want) that happens to be usable as if it were tiling and that’s keyboard centric (but you can use mouse too if you wish). That really was the sweet spot for me and I often find annoying behaviour in i3/sway that goomwwm didn’t have (typically around movement and resizing).

Is there a way I can tell which exit node I am using from CLI in Linux?
I'd like to just be able to write a short shell script to check if an exit node is in use, and then pipe that output into polybar which I use anyway. The problem is that I can't find an option in the tailscale Linux CLI client that will show me whether I'm using an exit node or not. Is there a way to do this?

Are there any tools to analyse/modify colours directly from a bash script?
I am on Arch Linux and I am using pywal to generate a colour palette from my wallpaper, which I then use throughout my system. In particular, i have a bash script which grabs these colours and uses them for polybar. The problem is that sometimes these colours do not have enough contrast, and the bar is hard to read. Is there any tool that would allow me to check the readability of my colours, and modify them accordingly, directly from my script? If not, how should I be approaching this issue?

Polybar setup on XFCE
Hello, currently I am trying to get polybar setup on XFCE. I was getting an error along the lines of "background_manager: Failed to copy slice of root pixmap" and according to this GitHub issue, the only solution is to try and set the background another way, like using feh. My only issue now is that it seems like feh isn't actually doing anything whenever I use it to set a wallpaper. I believe this could be because of a conflicting system in XFCE that sets the wallpaper, how can I disable XFCE wallpapers?
