      Sway is a tiling Wayland compositor and a drop-in replacement for the
      <a href="http://i3wm.org/">i3 window manager</a> for X11. It works
      with your existing i3 configuration and supports most of i3's
      features, plus a few extras.
    </p>
    <p>
      Sway allows you to arrange your application windows <em>logically</em>,
      rather than <em>spatially</em>. Windows are arranged into a grid by
      default which maximizes the efficiency of your screen and can be
      quickly manipulated using only the keyboard.

      We also maintain the <a href="https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots">wlroots</a>
      project to provide a modular basis for Sway and other Wayland compositors
      to build upon, and we <a href="https://github.com/swaywm/sway-protocols">
      publish standards</a> for interoperable Wayland desktops.
