    Discontinued A modular Wayland compositor library

    I have no experience developing window managers. However, I've heard good things about the wlroots library, if you're not familiar with it. Maybe you could delegate the implementation of a Wayland compositor to wlroots and plug it into your window manager as a back end.

  • dwl

    Discontinued dwm for Wayland - ARCHIVE: development has moved to Codeberg

    There are currently 2 very incomplete "suckless approaches" in C and zig. Dont expect them to get stable in the near future, since not even wlroots has reached v1.0.

  • 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.

  • breadx

    An implementation of the X Window System Protocol in Rust

    Thoughts on breadx for interfacing with X? It's not mature yet but the idea is there. Personally I think x11rb is how I'd do this from scratch. Then again, Penrose already works; no need to rewrite something if it's already as good as it is. Getting to "100% rust" it's really only a novelty goal.

    For general use (including the built in status bar) my personal config might be of interest: https://github.com/sminez/my-penrose-config

  • leftwm

    A tiling window manager for Adventurers

    I'll have to keep an eye on your content, then! The command I'm talking is https://github.com/leftwm/leftwm/blob/master/src/bin/leftwm-state.rs , where the usual setup is to call it from polybar with an intermediate liquid template, but it may be a very different approach from what you have. Thank for the config, it is super helpful.

  • 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.
