Implementing a spatial model inspired by Material Shell, for i3 and sway. - lthms/spatial-shell
We are done with 2024, and now is a good time to reflect on what has happened over the past 12 months. I was not planning to, but my feed convinced me to give it a try. Plus, it is a good opportunity to revive my “Retrospective” series.

In a nutshell, my latest hobby project (Spatial Sway) works well enough so that I can use it daily, and I have done some unsuccessful experiments for this website.
In August, 2022, I have discovered Material Shell, and decided to implement a dynamic tiling management “a la Material Shell” for sway I called Spatial Shell. Spatial Shell works on my machine, which means it will definitely break on yours, and I would love to know how.

I am no stranger to the exciting feeling of starting new projects. By dint of repeating this “exercise” over the years, I have come to build an intuitive process which “works for me.”
