Material Shell is EOL -- can we get the bar/workspace behavior separated into an lightweight plugin? about material-shell HOT 4 OPEN

I've made the gnome 45 compatibility update at #984

And the project is still open to external contributions 😁

Thanks @PapyElGringo -- I appreciate that you're developing in the open and that external contributors are welcome. I was a subscriber to your Patreon until very recently, and would gladly support you monetarily if you'd focus on this project instead. I unfortunately do not have the time to dig into the source, but I think what you've made is superior to Pop Shell (what I've switched to) and would love to keep using it if there was active development

@jessedhillon I'm very grateful for your support for past few years and I wrote a letter to try to give more context of the motivation behind the recent changes.

I hope it will change your perception of my recent decisions

Thanks @PapyElGringo, I signed up to be a contributor. I'm happy to follow the new project, but in my experience with e.g. Sway, a lack of deep integration with basic desktop amenities that GNOME provides, severely degrades the experience even for a power user. I hope you'll follow a path that doesn't reinvent or discard some of these basic features, while gaining a more stable base on which to develop your insights around window navigation.
