    Sea (like C) greeter for LightDM allows to create themes with web technologies, the same as web-greeter, nody-greeter and the outdated lightdm-webkit2-greeter. This project aims to be similar to the last one, as sea-greeter is made with webkit2 instead of chromium.

    Web Greeter is created with Python... which sometimes is slow. So, I wanted to re-create it with Node.js!

    A stupidly simple graphical login manager. Uses framebuffer, so You won't have to run a Wayland session to bootstrap your Wayland session (unlike gtkgreet). This is a greetd frontend.
