 # autotiling
-Script for sway and i3 to automatically switch the horizontal / vertical window split orientation
+This script uses the [i3ipc-python library](https://github.com/altdesktop/i3ipc-python) to switch the layout 
+splith / splitv depending on the currently focused window dimensions. It works on both sway and i3 window managers.
+
+Inspired by https://github.com/olemartinorg/i3-alternating-layout
