I've never done gobject programming before, so there might be some object lifecycle bugs. Nevertheless, it does work:

output.mp4

(poor quality is because I had to compress it to upload)

window_manager_service_niri.c mostly mirrors the sway one except I use gio channels instead of sockets because niri's IPC is line-delimited json, so g_io_channel_read_line is convenient

@ldelossa I'm also interested if you could show me what you have in mind for bluetooth, I would like to get rid of the system tray and right now bluetooth is the only thing I need it for

This is so dope.

I haven't really been focusing on the project in awhile. However, if you feel like your implementation is ready, i don't mind merging it!

I'm not too comfortable with my gobject code 😅 for example there is this in the stderr: https://paste.sr.ht/~p00f/19e6d3e21e9f5a21082124084058edd2801bd925#niri-way-shell-stderr-L23

Would appreciate another look but I can understand if you don't want to spend too much time, I can spend time learning over next week and update this PR with fixes if needed

[ldelossa]

If you're not in a rush to get this in, i can def give a review over the next few days

hey were you able to take a look?
