  • bismuth

    KDE Plasma add-on, that tiles your windows automatically and lets you manage them via keyboard, similarly to i3, Sway or dwm.

  • To mitigate those concerns, a number of so called KWin scripts were created by the awesome community to provide benefits of tiling window managers and KDE Plasma integration. For the time being, one of the best ones of these was Krohnkite KWin script. However, just when the world needed its maintainer the most, he vanished. Some time has passed, and I created a fork called Bismuth. Although, a couple of improvements were made over Krohnkite, for example Wayland support, it has a lot to learn from other similar projects, like Pop Shell.

  • tile-gaps

    KWin script to add space around windows touching a screen edge or other window

  • I don't want to steal users from Bismuth so I suggest you try to get it to work with that, but if it turns out that that's not possible, let me know and I'll consider adding the option of an include/exclude list in my Tile Gaps script.

  • 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.

  • void-packages

    The Void source packages collection

  • I'll look into the stance of Void Linux on npm and get fiddling with a template.
