Hello everyone, and Happy Easter!

I've been busy trying to get to this point, and I'm finding it useable enough that I wanted to mention it here.

I'm releasing some code!

cow, is a "Compositor on Wayland", which aims to look-and-feel like mwm and fvwm from X11, but instead, running on wayland.

https://codeberg.org/thomasadam/cow

The README.md (screenshot), and associated config file example should be enough to get you started for now, if you're interested.

There's still a tonne of things to do before I even consider a release -- and no doubt there's a shed load of bugs, etc.

So if you're interested in using a wayland window manager that looks like it's stuck in the early 90s, give this thing a go.

An IRC channel exists on libera.chat -- #cow-wayland if you want to come and say "hello".

Any issues... err, chuck an issue on Codeberg, please. Note that I won't be providing any mirrors of this on GH. Codeberg is where this project is officially hosted.
