Wlhc: Wayland Hot Corners

The author, while recovering from COVID, developed wlhc, a program for enabling "hot corners" on Wayland desktops. By specifying a corner and a command, users can trigger actions when the mouse pointer hits that corner. The project utilizes the wlr-layer-shell protocol, repurposing it for this functionality. The code is available on a Git repository under the ISC license. One limitation is the hardcoded paths in the Makefile, potentially requiring adjustments on distributions with non-standard layouts. Despite the project's success, challenges arose due to the immature Hare ecosystem, necessitating patches to dependencies for compatibility with the latest compiler. The author plans to wait for stable releases incorporating these changes before tagging a wlhc release. Working with Hare was described as straightforward, providing a rewarding experience during the development process.
