    awesome window manager (by awesomeWM)

  • Recently, Elv said he thought about releasing the 4.4 sometime in May (https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/3288#issuecomment-808856472). There is however no obligation and we still have some bugs and evolution that should be fixed/done before releasing the new version. So, a new version is to be expected soon, but you shouldn't hope too soon... Maybe this summer (?)

  • layout-machi

    AwesomeWM manual layout with an interactive editor

  • What exactly are tabbed layouts? I've never used i3 but when I looked it up it seemed like this module does essentially the same thing. Layout machi can be used to manually create layouts. I haven't used it yet but I've seen a lot of cool features.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
