  • From their webpage … sounds pretty cool:

    Sway is a tiling Wayland compositor and a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager for X11. It works with your existing i3 configuration and supports most of i3’s features, plus a few extras.

    Sway allows you to arrange your application windows logically, rather than spatially. Windows are arranged into a grid by default which maximizes the efficiency of your screen and can be quickly manipulated using only the keyboard.




  • They have an ad plan and an ad-free plan for different costs. I personally couldn’t ever imagine myself paying for the privilege of watching ads (and I do pay for D+), but, ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    D+ works fine for me on my old cheap Android box, my Nvidia SHIELD and our AppleTV, so I think the ‘slow and clunky’ part might be a Roku specific issue.
    The app design choices though are a mess in other ways. There isn’t a ‘mark as watched’ option, so when it doesn’t mark that you watched something (which happens semi-frequently), it attempts to start you on an episode you’ve already watched and you’ve got to fast forward through it. It doesn’t have ‘continue watching’ so unless your show is brand new, you’ve gotta go through the menus to re-find the thing you’re watching. It’s “pretty” enough at first glance and looks good, but actual usability is not great at all.

    Plex & Jellyfin definitely have the better experience, for sure.
