I've switched from RiverWM to MaomaoWM and I'm loving it. I still get tags rather than workspaces and per output tags. I can have custom animations just like Hyprland and an IPC client like on Sway.

Dot files but be warned they are a WIP and change often.
Huh, I've never heard of MaomaoWM before. I'm happy to see the space of tiling Wayland compositors continue to be populated.
Would you say the main differences with River is the animations?
MaomaoWM has animations and has more layouts than River. It even has a scrolling layout like Niri.
That's pretty cool. I'll have to check it out.
