If you are going to rebase to master, please do so in a separate force-push.
This makes it easier to review PR-specific changes if they are also
force-pushed, as each force-push gets its own timeline event.

For example:

git rebase master
git push --force-with-lease
# (modify PR-related files)
git push --force-with-lease

I looked into swayimg, and it's worse than nsxiv. I wish I could find a wayland-native alternative to nsxiv before Xorg dies.

swayimg starts as a floating window, and I can't make it start as a non-floating window. Its default background color is transparent, so it looks ugly without further configuration.

I something like nsxiv that doesn't force me to write C for config, supports wayland, and doesn't automatically write text config files. Qutebrowser has been exactly that. It supports python for config, supports wayland, and doesn't automatically write text config files. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/glirc configuration system is also okay.

I haven't seen any program that seamlessly mixes GUI config with manual text config. Qutebrowser is close to that ideal.

Even if all DEs/WMs somehow stop working, xwayland will probably be around for
a long while, as something is needed to keep existing programs working.

I think the main issue is that there is nothing as standard and as unified as
libx11 (and related libs) for wayland AFAIK, so you'd probably have to link to
something much bigger and framework-specific like libadwaita or qt and deal
with the potential design and maintenance churn.
