Hi HN, I'm the author. I've been a long-time user of AwesomeWM and River on Linux. I recently moved to macOS and couldn't find a WM that satisfied me (specifically regarding dynamic layouts), so I built one in Rust over the weekend.
I know you did this in a weekend, but it would be super nice to get some screenshots, or a video into what makes this different.
I also don't know what the "river/awesome philosophy" is, so therefore I don't know what this WM does that makes it different than something like Rectangle for example.
And truth be told, I'm not going to look it up. I am only adding this comment because I'm sure there will be a ton of other people that fall into the same category as me.
Good luck though, super cool to see that you built this in a weekend!
