When you started this, did you target a specific area that needed your skillsets or knowledge or did you research and find an area that needed better software ?





I needed the software for myself so I ended up developing it. Turns out a lot of other people wanted it too :)

I have been very clear with the community from the beginning that this is software that I develop first and foremost for myself - new features and bug fixes get prioritized largely according to this.

Additionally, support is not offered as part of the commercial use license and is largely community-driven. Nevertheless, I still spend many hours a week helping out both personal use and commercial use users.


what language and stack did you develop the software in?

Missed this comment - Rust + windows-rs, it is indeed a tiling window manager as the sibling comment says!

His GitHub says Rust for the tiling window manager he’s talking about.
