    Sources for https://arewewaylandyet.com

    • I've found https://arewewaylandyet.com/ and https://wayland.app/ (but the latter appears limited).

  • wl-mirror

    a simple Wayland output mirror client

    • Maybe try https://github.com/Ferdi265/wl-mirror, since it says it should work on all wlroots compositors.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

    Cagebreak: A Wayland Tiling Compositor Inspired by Ratpoison

    • That's true for a lot of libraries, you have to maintain the code, I would treat that as a fact of life, It might be worth noting there are some projects designed to provide a high level abstraction over wlroots which might be different: cage -> used by cagebreak phoc -> used by phosh and wayfire -> used by swayfire.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
