Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

X11 is dead, switch to Wayland
I am personally waiting for Waymonad. https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad

With rise of wayland, are simpler window managers dying?
It takes time, but the teams behind wlroots etc are doing good work to make sure that wms managed by smaller teams can exist. There are even clones for your specific wm on wayland. See https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad
-
switching from awesomewm to a wayland compositor
In addition, there was the last commit in 2019. Thus, it can be assumed that the project is dead and therefore nothing will change on the current state. And according to https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad/issues/44, there are probably not enough people who would actively participate in a fork.

I was in a stream and I realized what is still lacking from Linux Gaming to be mainstream
Ideally xmonad would be ported/xmonad devs would be working on waymonad, but I doubt it will happen. Waymonad seems to be abandoned.

Cool Desktops Don’t Change
Nice to see Qtile on Wayland. But I'm personally waiting for xmonad on Wayland.

A tiling desktop environment is now available for Bullseye
I wouldn't count on it, as Waymonad has not seen active development since 2019 and the Haskell bindings to wlroots have not been updated since 2019 as well. There is a fork, but it has not been active since September 2021. Also, it was based on wlroots, not sway.

How hard would it be to make my own window manager?
That's what the XMonad fans are using: https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad lets you write your Wayland compositor in Haskell, is analogy to the way XMonad lets you write your X window manager in Haskell.
-
I would not give up haskell for hiring purposes. I think it will exponentialy rise through the roof in a year or two [2012]
Unfortunately it was abandoned https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad/issues/44
- Is there a successful Wayand wm that is close to xmonad?
-
Little advice, please.
regarding keeping an interest, waymonad has been dead for something like two and a half years but according to startrack it's still getting people giving him stars so i don't think you should worry about it.

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.

Please help me with LD_PRELOAD
are you using spectrwm? it seems like this file comes from there, and they use it to make programs open in particular workspaces: https://github.com/conformal/spectrwm/issues/500

What exactly is a tiling window manager?
Here is one website with screenshots. https://github.com/conformal/spectrwm
- 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 :)
