waybound: wayland hot corners and edges

hey all, just released waybound!

it's a small wayland util that stays out of the way until you hit a boundary, then runs the command you configured ;) jk

it supports different commands per boundary, corners and edges, toml config with xdg fallback, and a debug mode that shows the active boundaries. it uses direct wayland client bindings rather than a larger ui toolkit, and the hot zones are simple overlay surfaces on top of the compositor, so the process stays quiet until a boundary is hit. idk if this is the least resource intensive way to do it

the idea is loosely inspired by the simplicity of macos hot corners, but with configurable boundaries and different behaviors per boundary

feedback is very much welcome!
