Isn't wofi dead? I still use it but last I heard it is no longer in active development.

Wofi was updated by the author 13 hours ago:

https://hg.sr.ht/~scoopta/wofi

The banner says "This project is not being actively maintained. It does still receive some updates from time to time but nothing frequent."

It's fine for a project to reach "maturity" and quit getting updated much, but the Wofi docs, interface and features still seem like they could use some polish.

It's open source, so anyone else is always welcome to use the current state as a base to build on if they prefer to.

Aside from Wofi's support for Pango/HTML/CSS, I don't see a reason to use it over Fuzzel, though.

I think wofi looks great and it works for me. I use it with pywal's wallpaper theme generated css. I haven't seen many alternatives having this level of visual configuration.

I'll look into fuzzel but I remember last time I looked I was let down by the visuals of most of these alternatives. If it doesn't look good I'd rather use the sway built in drun thing.

It's possible that wofi's HTML and CSS support allow for some visual effects the others don't.

Albert works on Wayland now.

Where can I find docs about Albert’s support for dmenu features? I didn’t find any mention on the Albert website.

I saw that Albert supports plugins and extensions but couldn’t find a list of the plugins and extensions were.
