Hi all, passed few days I synced the documentation[1] up. Through documenting on how to use libtaiwins, surprise to me, I just found out one can write a working wayland compositor using libtaiwins with as few as 100 lines of code. Much less than the stun I had to pull out by using wlroots. On the other hand, libtaiwins is also flexible enough for customize a unique compositor, it doesn't get in your way for making the compositor look like the way you want.
I hope libtaiwins is useful to you as it to me, for any potential new wayland coders, I think it lower the bar quite a bit for entering, compared to when I started 5 years ago :). Then if you find anything you don't like, needs fixing, I am always here.
