X11 only is a bit of a bummer although I’m not surprised - i don’t think i’d target Wayland either for this sort of thing if i was a happy x11 user already.

#22You have a customizable bar in your DE, put everything you need into that bar, why a second bar?
I do not have a bar that I can put everything I want, so I created it, as many other developers have created a dock bar, just like MacOS has its own, etc, et.
MacOS has a dock because the menu bar it has is useless. Very few Windows users install this kind of dock app because the taskbar is NOT useless. On Linux, most DEs allow you to customize the bar. I use quickshell and gnome, but kde or polybar same.
People make software to bloat other people's computers, that's true

I'm actually curious about that - this seems like something that should at least partially work through XWayland? Blindly speculating, it might not work against existing windows, but I'd expect things like system monitors and launching apps to not care.
Tested today, most of it works using XWayland. Some applets won't like windows killer as it uses xkill, also some feature like window preview as Wayland do not give access to other screens, but also features like having the dock follow the mouse across different monitors.
