Hello friends!

I am LGUG2Z, primarily known for being the sole developer and maintainer of komorebi.

I develop the kind of tools that people use every day on their computers. The kind of tools that start the moment that you log on to your computer. The kind of tools that you really can't use your computer without once you have had the experience of using them.

You can contact me directly on Mastodon (@[email protected]), Bluesky (@lgug2z.com)Twitter (@JeezyCodes) or Discord

If you want to use komorebi at work, you should purchase an individual commercial use license rather than sponsoring me on GitHub!

Why sponsor me?

I have chosen to tackle some very big gaps in the Windows ecosystem for developers who end up having to migrate from macOS or Linux.

The majority of the software that I write and make available is software that you will have running every second that you are at your computer. It is software that results in a truly transformative experience and redefines your ideas of what is possible for you as a developer working on the Windows operating system.

The unfortunately reality is that if I stop working on these problems, there will not be many people who will step up to tackle them. Just take a look at the contributor stats for komorebi and you'll get the picture pretty quickly.

Your sponsorship, means a great deal to me. It has a profound positive mental impact on me personally, and it helps to maintain my motivation to keep working on these wonderful tools and making them available to the entire community.

Notable Projects

komorebi

komorebi is the the most starred actively developed tiling window manager for Windows 10 and Windows 11. It is extensively documented and has an incredibly active and welcoming community on Discord where I regularly dedicate a significant amount of time to help users with all questions, big or small.

komorebi is a stable, mature piece of software that is at the heart of the transition of many previous full-time macOS and Linux users used to tiling window managers such as yabai and bspwm to Windows + WSL as their primary development environment.

komorebi-application-specific-configuration

komorebi-application-specific-configuration is a central repository for documenting all non-standard behaviours encountered by myself and users users by Windows applications. I created, seeded, and now continue to maintain this repository to a high standard to document and generate configuration code for any possible edge case that may interrupt the tiling window management experience of komorebi (or other tiling window manager!) users.

whkd

whkd is a simple hotkey daemon for Windows inspired by sxhkd on Linux and skhd on macOS. whkd is a lightweight alternative to AHK and is the recommended hotkey daemon used by the majority of komorebi users.

I also maintain a tree-sitter grammar for syntax highlighting for the configuration format, as well as a plugin for Zed code editor.

wpm

wpm is a systemd-inspired user process manager for Windows which supports specifying dependencies between processes, healthchecks and lifecycle hooks.

masir

masir is a focus follows mouse daemon for Windows, with support for integration with tiling window managers including komorebi.

komokana

After contributing to kanata to enable inter-process communication over TCP, i created komokana, a daemon which listens in the background to state changes in komorebi and executes keyboard layer changes in kanata based on user configuration.

This can be used to automatically switch to a different layer with application-specific key bindings when different applications are focused, such as a text editor or IDE, a browser, photo editing software, video editing software, etc.
