I’m currently studying River in the hope of crafting a guile scheme based window manager, River uses a unique non-monolithic approach, unlike the "all-in-one" approach seen in many compositors, it splits the responsibilities of rendering and window management.

I am using this post as a living document to log my notes and findings as I study the river-window-management-v1 protocol. One done, it should be a great foundation for those who want to understand my window manager or write their own based on River.
