*Disclaimer:* The rde project is stable and usable, but still under active
development and API is a subject to change.
** Principles
This is a brief list of principles, more detailed description can be found in
the [[https://trop.in/rde/manual#Principles][manual]].
*** Main
- Ergonomic :: Sane keybindings, good contrast, readable fonts.
- Reproducible :: Setup can be easily replicated.
- Hackable :: Easy to throw out or modify any part of setup.
- Stateless :: All state must be explicit and syncable or temporary.
*** Secondary
- Lightweight and battery efficient :: wayland, fast native apps.
- Offline :: most of workflows and apps should work without network.
- Attention-friendly :: minimal use of notification and other
 distractive things.
** Usage
Read [[https://trop.in/rde/manual#Getting-Started][Getting Started]] section of the manual, skim through the source code and
enjoy the thing!
** Channel introduction
In case you want to use rde as a channel, there is a channel definition:

Those repositories are not affilated with rde or Guix, they are provided as
real-world examples of people's rde configurations, which you can inspect to
get familiar with its concepts, but be careful and thoughtful, remember that

implications on your setup. If you think other users might learn from your
configuration and you'd like to share it publicly, let us know via the [[*
Community][community channels]]. For Guix Home example configurations, see [[* People's Guix Home
