They are neither flexible nor easy to use. Moreover, they add significant complexity to the program itself. -kiwmi listens to a socket and offers a basic client, kiwmic, to communicate with kiwmi, similarly to how bspwm works. - -This allows the user to write the configuration in any langauge, e.g. as a bash script, which allows for high flexibility. - -kiwmi handles almost nothing on it's own, and instead it emits events, to which the client can subscribe and react accordingly. -This allows for 100% flexibility and customizability, while requiring little overhead effort. -New user configurations will be linked as they are created, to help new users get started. - -kiwmi will end up being configured by a monolithic frontend, or collection of small scripts. -A small (probably) Python library may be created to aid creating a monolithic frontend. - -Dependencies ------------- - -- https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots[wlroots] -- meson (build) -- ninja (build) -- git (build, optional, to fetch the version) - -Building --------- - -Make sure all dependencies are installed. - -Run: - ----- -$ meson build -$ ninja -C build ----- - -Install with: - ----- -# ninja -C build install ----- - -Contribution ------------- - -You want to contribute?
