The goal of this project is to show that it's easy to make your custom window manager, that we dont need to waste GBs of ram when showing windows and to provide a window manager that you can understand by looking at the code (so that you can shape it according to your needs or create your own entirely).

A very big motivation for this project is to show that it is simple to do your own things and that we can make simple and lightweight software. Simple and lightweight often go hand in hand. Dont hesitate to try to do your own things, it may be scary because the existing well known projects have enormous code bases but we dont need this much to make a simple wm (tinyvvm.v ~400LoC).
