The minimalist window manager.
This project was previously a work of satire, going under a different name, however I have decided to continue the project as it seems functional and ready to be improved upon. Click here if you're a little curious.
This window manager is single-file and small binary with low resource consumption. Personally, I find it's useful for focused work where you aren't moving around too much and don't need multiple workspaces (it doesn't support them, obviously).
- Push window backwards
Alt+a - Pull window forward
Alt+s - Kill window
Alt+q - Open (Suckless) Simple Terminal (st)
Alt+Return - Open dmenu
Alt+d - Kill window manager
Alt+Backspace - Move windows
Alt+Left Click - Resize windows
Alt+Right Click
New key-binds are added by editing aphelia.c and re-compiling. It's actually pretty self-explanatory as the code is quite repetetive. Couple copy-pastes, tops.
Install:
sudo make install
Uninstall:
sudo make clean
Reinstall:
sudo make reinstall

/r/unixporn is great but sometimes it can get overly-cutesy. This project was meant to have fun with that idea a bit.
