# river
river is a dynamic wayland compositor that takes inspiration from
[dwm](https://dwm.suckless.org) and [bspwm](https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm).
*Note: river is currently early in development and not yet ready for the average end user*
## 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.
## Development
Check out the [roadmap](https://github.com/ifreund/river/issues/1) if you'd like to see
what has been done and what is left to do.
If you are interested in the development of river, please join our matrix channel:
