sway 
"SirCmpwn's Wayland window manager" is a work in progress i3-compatible window manager for Wayland. Read the FAQ. Join the IRC channel (#sway on irc.freenode.net).
Rationale
I use i3 on xorg. Wayland is coming, and i3way still has zero lines of source code after two years.

Installation
From Packages
sway is not supported by many distributions yet. Here's a list of packages available for you to install:
For other distros, see this wiki page.
Compiling from Source
Install dependencies:
- cmake
- wlc
- wayland
- xwayland
- asciidoc
- pcre
- json-c
- pango *
- cairo *
- gdk-pixbuf2 *
- pam **
*Only required for swaybar, swaybg, and swaylock
**Only required for swaylock
Run these commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR=/etc ..
make
sudo make install
On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:
sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway
Configuration
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to
~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config.
Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.
Running
Instead of running startx, run sway. You can run sway from within X as
well, which is useful for testing.
