You talking about something like the issue I linked to earlier? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43347909

FWIW I've got a niri IPC / bash / jq abomination that emulates run-or-raise functionality and works probably better than the original RoR. It cycles through windows matching a particular appId and starts one if one doesn't already exist. That, alongside rofi(wayland) as a fuzzy search nav for all open windows, made a huge difference to me.

I couldn't find a run or raise repo that'd have a ws.jq and I'm not convinced it's https://github.com/thaliaarchi/wsjq (whitespace programing language implemented in jq...) Could you point at that?

Thanks for sharing!

Haha, no. It's a home grown abomination. Give me a couple of days & I'll put it in a repo for you.
Yep, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Your bash script is far less of an abomination than what you made it sound like :)
