also in an act of severe procrastination i decided to try drawing a diagram of the redraw state machine: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/wiki/Redraw-Loop

niri has reached 3000 stars yesterday!

I made a COPR for git builds of niri: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/yalter/niri-git

Apparently this is a thing you can do; relatively easily, even. It's fully automatic, triggers on a webhook from GitHub.

Thanks Michael (my4ng) from our Matrix channel for showing me the relevant docs and doing the initial work!

One of the niri users has contributed a gradient interpolation color space setting! Now you can do pretty gradient borders in srgb-linear, oklab and oklch (in all four hue directions).

key repeat + scrollable tiling = fun

Oops, looks like niri had outstarred PaperWM on GitHub 🙈🙈

PaperWM introduced me to (and made me fall in love with) scrollable tiling. It's a solid implementation on top of GNOME, so you get all the benefits of running a stable and well-supported DE (and Xwayland). PaperWM is also a very direct inspiration for many parts of niri!

Implemented the thing where you can toggle the mouse pointer on the screenshot after the fact (by pressing P). Gonna add a help panel here soon to remind you of this.

Apparently there's a cool Pango flag that enables subpixel glyph positioning which makes things scale smoother and improves kerning! Thanks Benjamin (the GTK maintainer) for the suggestion
