Minimal, flexible & user-friendly X and Wayland tiling window manager but with rust.
Feel free to open issues and make pull requests.
SSWM means Saffron Spring Window Manager.
Saffron and Spring are the two well-known revolutions in burma (my home country).
Main focus of the SSWM is to create Free, User Friendly, Configurable, Fast and Safe window manager for both X and Wayland.
SSWM is a part of the project Project SS.
Note: Not recommended to use with Wayland as of now.
