Everybody has things to do, and making a WM alone is hardly possible.
I have some cool ideas that I want to bring alive, and there are many barriers nowadays. To mention some:

  • X.org is deprecated, but Wayland requires quite a lot of work
  • Native rust code would be much better, but there are more feature-complete bindings
  • There are no future-proof patterns to follow when it comes to GUI apps in rust. There are patterns to follow, however, like Actix's actor model, etc...
  • There are many missing layers, rust's native libraries are far behind the Web. There would be good to have an HTML-like rendering engine.

So it's not easy, but as I see, you've already started. I won't go ahead and start implementing all the missing things, it's a bit harder than that, and I am missing some of the domain knowledge. So If you are still active, may we can work together.

My goals currently:

  • A pluginable application launcher like Rofi, but with modern-looking and less limiting for the plugins.
  • A DE with a tiling WM similar to BSPWM but not only for programmers.
  • Many more ...

Hey Dave! Its really nice to see someone taking interest in one of my projects, but I'm afraid that XRB is quite old and I no longer have the time to work on it. While I can't work with you right now, you are more than welcome to fork this project and push it further yourself.

Best of luck in your future endevors!
Nelson
