 # wminizer
 
-Window Manager Interactive Non-Interrupting Zero-downtime Editing Rotator
+Window Manager Interactive Non-Interrupting Zero-downtime Editing Rotator
+
+Window manager**s**,
+change choice change list live,
+wminizer does
+
+# wminizer
+
+**wminizer** is a script that helps manage `wmrotate` scripts, enabling on-the-fly editing of window managers without restarting X. The name is a play on "womanizer," reflecting its ability to handle multiple window managers, just as a womanizer might have multiple partners. However, it also fits well with the idea of minimizing downtime and maximizing efficiency.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Interactive**: Easily switch and edit wmrotate scripts.
+- **Non-Interrupting**: Make changes **without restarting X**.
+- **Zero-downtime**: Ensure continuous operation while editing.
+- **Editing**: On-the-fly modifications for seamless updates.
+- **Rotator**: Efficiently rotate and manage window managers.
+
+(Thnx to an llm for help with the backronym and that feature list, lol.  Does it show?)
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Install
+
+TODO:[Insert instructions on how to install and use wminizer]
+
+Basically,
+- put wminizer file in your path,
+- put "wminzier" in your xinit, 
+- put wmrotate & wmrotate2 in your path, and/or edit wminizer to your own preference
+
+### Use
+
+TODO:[Insert instructions on how to <s>install and</s> use wminizer]
+
+...
+
+Basically, same as wmrotate,
+
+wmrotate:
+- kill current wm
+(and wmrotate moves on to next wm in list, keep apps running)
+
+it's that simple.
+
+wminizer:
+- kill current wmrotate
+(and wminizer moves on to next wmrotate script in list, keeps apps running)
+(lets you edit the list, and switch to it, without restarting X).
