Gregory's ServerThere's been another logo discussion in the niri Matrix room with some quite interesting concepts emerging. Here's one by Endg4me_ with edits by bluelinden and myself, and inspiration from a concept by ElKowar.
What do you think?

 I finished the initial event stream IPC implementation for niri. My Waybar fork implements a decent amount of the modules niri/workspaces, niri/window, niri/language. Please give that a try, also anyone who makes IPC scripts or bars please give a try to the event stream IPC itself so we can find any design flaws before merging. The PR you will need: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/pull/453#issuecomment-2321730996 Waybar fork is linked from there. Set up CI rustdoc publishing for niri-ipc: https://yalter.github.io/niri/niri_ipc/ This has the entirety of the niri IPC documented, including the new event stream events. After the Waybar maintainer speedran merging my niri modules and releasing, I would feel bad delaying any longer, so here's niri 0.1.9 :) Event stream IPC for bars, better window resizing, properly named outputs, on-demand VRR, out-of-the-box fix for NVIDIA flickering, and other improvements! Made interactive move work on touch (and resize too while I was at it), didn't need that many changes actually Added a bit of rubberbanding before the window is "dragged out" of the layout. Should help avoid unintended layout changes. Along with a few more fixes I did, I think interactive move should be good to merge? It's not 100% perfect and jank free, but I'm fairly sure I got all the important things done. Will give it some more testing. Suddenly, @drakulix showcasing the Cosmic session running on, among other compositors, niri! On the big screen at the Ubuntu Summit 😄 somehow this touch moving under stationary pointer works better than i expected (yes trying to do a precise left click with an elbow was difficult) By the way! I'll be giving a talk at RustCon in Moscow on December, 6! :ablobcatwave: Wherein I will briefly describe what a Wayland compositor is, and then show several testing and profiling workflows that I've been using to keep niri stable, robust and performant. (The invitation to submit a talk was completely unexpected, guess niri found its way into the right eyes. 😅) There will be a recording, though in Russian. Interactive window moving, laptop lid and tablet mode switch binds, mouse and touchpad scroll speed setting in today's niri v0.1.10 release! https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/releases/tag/v0.1.10 Also, niri-ipc is now on crates.io, but keep in mind that it will not be Rust-semver-stable: https://crates.io/crates/niri-ipc |
I'm working on an "event stream" IPC for niri where you get notified about events as they happen. For example, "workspace switched" or "keyboard layout changed".
To give it a good test, I actually started implementing native niri support in Waybar. You can give it a try too: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/pull/453#issuecomment-2317110904
