I took a look at this window manager on github. It looks like this is combining the best of three worlds: bspwm (configuration by shell), dwm (master-stack-layout + tags) and sway (supports wayland) but without the bad parts of them (configuring needs compiling in dwm, complicated nested tree layout in the others). Did I get this right?

Guest5643: no. Its just a window manager, talks wayland protocol, delegates layout management to a different process to decide howto display a window. The default layout manager works like dwm.

@pinpoxIRC : there is ristate that query some informations in json from views/tags that you can use for scripting (ie feed waybar), but you have to patch it manually for last river version (https://gitlab.com/snakedye/ristate/-/merge_requests/4). not perfect but usable (using jq to extract what i need)

mohan43u: I don't need other layouts. I'm just looking for master-stack-layout and tags (like dwm) but configured easier than with c or lua like awm. And riverwm does that, right?
<mohan43u>
Guest5643: yes, the default is master-stack-layout (like dwm)
