Top 21 C++ Wayland Projects

Wayland

  • Hyprland

    Hyprland is an independent, highly customizable, dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that doesn't sacrifice on its looks.

    Project mention: Hyprland 0.44.0 Is Out | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-10-06

    If you go to the homepage: https://hyprland.org/

    It says "Tiling Compositor" as its first words. That's what it is.

    It's not a "window manager" since that's an X11 term, and this is a Wayland Compositor, not an X11 Window Manager.

    I feel like the landing page explains very clearly what it is for the target audience, which is someone who uses wayland and knows what a tiling compositor is.

  • Waybar

    Highly customizable Wayland bar for Sway and Wlroots based compositors. :v: :tada:

    Project mention: Pomodoro Timer: Waybar and uair | dev.to | 2024-08-08

    I am currently using uair integrated in to my Waybar running on my sway window manager. I use it similar to the way I use watson (both as a CLI tool with Waybar integrations), so it is a good fit for me.

  • ksnip

    ksnip the cross-platform screenshot and annotation tool

  • wayfire

    A modular and extensible wayland compositor

    Project mention: Cosmic Desktop: Hammering Out New Cosmic Features | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-18

    Unusable until moving your mouse to the edges of the screen and clicking makes it hit the scrollbar, or the exit button. Right now it initiates a resize.

    Illustrated example from a different compositor https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/issues/570

    It's the only DE I'm excited about it so I hope they fix that. Very very promising and the best part is that it made the GNOME people mad.

    GNOME: "Sorry I don't see the use case for that, PR closed. Make your own project. "

  • sane-break

    A gentle break reminder that helps you avoid mindlessly skipping breaks.

    Project mention: No break reminder works (for me) | dev.to | 2024-08-19

    To address these issues, I'm creating my own break reminder called Sane Break. I won't delve into the technical details here, but I learned a lot about building a C++ app during the process. Sane Break builds upon the strengths of RSIBreak sharing a similar design of RSIBreak with 2 phases. The key difference is that it automatically enter the second, fullscreen phase when I stopped working, forcing me to look away. Additionally, Sane Break has no skip or postpone button. If I really want to postpone breaks, I have to do this via the menu in the system tray during the phase 1. This adds some friction to postponing breaks and further avoids mindless skips or postpones. This way, Sane Break strikes a balance between being considerate of your workflow and ensuring that you take breaks.
