#NeoFlux is up and running! Installed through #Gentoo portage localrepo.
Not as featureful as #Fluxbox yet, but includes one or two things I wish Fluxbox had. First, the active tab is always 50% of the title bar of the grouped window. The other tabs get equal space of the other 50%. Makes it easier to see the full title of the active tab.
Second is multiple slits. There are four (one for each edge), and and dockapps can be sent to any of them.

What blasphemy is this? :D
I've been using #fluxbox for about a decade and I still can't resist the urge to fiddle with it under the hood from time to time :p -
Got a lot of work done with #ClaudeCode on #NeoFlux, my idea for a #Fluxbox-inspired grouping #WindowManager written in #Rust.
Supports 4 slits with per-slit #DockApps settings, window grouping, per-desktop backgrounds, gaps, etc. Also trying hidden desktops, which don't show up in window or desktop lists and are only accessible through keyboard shortcuts.
Testing it in #Xephyr so far, but will switch when I have a few days free to play around with it.

Updated my #Fluxbox #DockApps page. Several updates, plus new fluxBattery and fluxClipboard. Also created web versions for those who don't use one of the *boxes.
A few weeks of #k12 #education work left, then going to focus on my neoFlux #WindowManager.

the first version of the clipboard manager is working. contexts work well, make it easy to separate don't-need-this-again clips from definitely-will-come-back-to-this clips without searching through hundreds of entries. Next up is adding the secret, deleted-after-x-seconds clips.

working on a clipboard manager with various 'contexts' so that one-off copies don't pollute my clipboard history with stuff i'll never need again.
Also, I've added hidden desktops to my #NeoFlux #WindowManager project design. Can't get started on it until I have summer break time, but working on the design docs now. Hidden desktops are only accessible through keyboard shortcuts; they and their windows do not show up in window lists. Is there real use to these? Not sure.

Next up:
* update my websites. have lots of content that is waiting.
* maybe #VibeCode a #Fluxbox replacement? I love Fluxbox, have been on it for years, but like the #WindowMaker #Dockapps, it is pretty much finished, and I worry it will eventually be unmaintained. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any similar stacking window managers. Of course, vibecoding an x11 window manager --- what could possibly go wrong? (Everything. Everything could go wrong.) So, we'll see how that goes.

RE: https://social.treehouse.systems/@krutonium/116525249392086752
Not a critic.
I just remarked, seeing this post, that it is been years I no longer use any desktop short cut. Not a single one.
I think it started with fluxbox, then xmonad, and I have kept the habit on gnome.
I prefer have a terminal centered workflow. And multitude of adapted pre-mashed terminal environements. Even if it launches a GUI in the end.
I find desktop shortcuts super messy.
And it alters the beauty of my desktop background images: it was probably the first reason I started this with #fluxbox
