Overview
Edward is an experimental fork of Edwood (itself a Go rewrite of acme) which removes window management. Each window in Edward uses a separate window in the OS windowing system, leaving window management entirely to the OS-native window manager. On Xorg/Wayland you can use a tiling window manager (e.g. i3, sway, dwm, wmii) to get an experience similar to traditional acme interface.
Removing window management from acme gives the user the freedom to arrange acme windows however they like, across multiple virtual workspaces. It allows more windows on limited screen real estate without having to open multiple instances of acme. It should also simplify the code base.
Project Status
Currently, Edward is just a proof-of-concept. It is more unstable than Edwood. You should expect frequent crashes and things not working.
