river is a dynamic wayland compositor that takes inspiration from

[dwm](https://dwm.suckless.org) and [bspwm](https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm).

## Design goals
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Simplicity and minimalism, river should not overstep the bounds of a window manger.
|
|
|
|
|
- Dynamic window management based on a stack of views and tags like dwm.
|
|
|
|
|
- Scriptable configuration and control through a socket and separate
|
|
|
|
|
binary, `riverctl`, like bspwm.
