About

Another wayland compositor based off of wlroots. The aim of this compositor is to get me where I want to go as fast as possible. I'm heavily drawing inspiration from some of my favorite tools such as Tridactyl, Hyprland, Sway, Nvim, and Harpoon.

One of the key features at this point distinguishing this compositor from others is 'Marks' (a feature from nvim where you can "mark" a particular location to a specific key and then press that same key with a modifier to go back). I also aim to extend this in the future with automatically assigning marks on window creation. And 'branding' a window with a permanent mark that will open that application if its closed and bring you to it if its open.

DISCLAIMER: This software has likely has major jank you probably don't want to use this rn lol. I am mostly making this for fun and learning.

Building

(Make sure you clone the submodules, I include a forked version of wlroots as a submodule so I can make modifications when there are problems with c/cpp interop)

meson setup build
meson compile -C build
