    From their webpage … sounds pretty cool:

    Sway is a tiling Wayland compositor and a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager for X11. It works with your existing i3 configuration and supports most of i3’s features, plus a few extras.

    Sway allows you to arrange your application windows logically, rather than spatially. Windows are arranged into a grid by default which maximizes the efficiency of your screen and can be quickly manipulated using only the keyboard.

      I’ve been using it for a while now, its been robust and extensible. I think its only real downside is that its too extensible as out of the the box not much comes as standard that you might expect if you coming from something like gnome, such as a control panel, auto tiling, a lock screen, or screen capture (although this release seems to fix setting that up now). This should be expected as its a WM not a DE.

    Sway is bae. Been using it for a bit now… I just really like how responsive it is. Bless the pinephones sxmo project to teaching me the way.

    Release submissions should really include a description what the project is about.

      Drew started the project but he isn’t really involved anymore. Simon Ser is the lead maintainer now.

        The part where he has been obsessively trying to depose a a saintly old man with cancer by misinterpreting stuff he’s written and one thing he allegedly (no proof) said in the 80s. Then he posted in the HN thread praising the report and claimed not to have written it, and fled back to mastodon when it was discovered that he did write it. Then he marked everyone’s post that questioned him as a death thread.

        And that was just Tuesday.
