fht-compositor is a new dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that brings the efficient window management model of X11 window managers like dwm and xmonad to the Wayland ecosystem. Written in Rust, it features automatic window tiling across 9 workspaces per output and offers a keyboard-focused workflow while minimizing wasted screen space. The project includes additional visual and practical features, though it's still in early development with 251 GitHub stars.
