Mention more things that doesn't work on Wayland yet? #158

Hi, I think this is a pretty good site, but I think following areweanticheatyet.com would be a better way of informing people of what works and what doesn't work.

As it is right now, this site is good for showing alternatives that works on Wayland, but doesn't accurately inform people of the status of other popular things that people use -- such as Shutter, teamviewer, freedownloadmanager, and Zoom. It doesn't inform the full picture of what doesn't work, such as the many issues currently submitted in the github issues.

I don't think it's a bad idea to list Wayland alternative and how people can make Wayland work with their usecase, but I feel like not listing more Wayland issues makes it feel like Wayland propaganda rather than a site that objectively informs the comprehensive status of various things in Wayland.

I think allowing for more things to be listed as not working as well as allowing comprehensive report of various things in Gnome, KDE, and other DE/WM would be much more informative (especially as there are different things working and not working depending on DE).

Hi,

I just checked areweanticheatyet.com, it looks super cool, I like it. arewewaylandyet was created to show to the Linux community that Wayland is way (haha) closer to being prod ready that most people realised. The idea was to show explicitly how you could "do x" or "replace tool y".

Past the initial reddit & hackernews splash, the value of arewewaylandyet diminished a bit. People are now aware that Wayland is there, it would be more valuable to use arewewaylandyet as a reference point for end users like you stated.

What is limiting is... time. It is just a website, yet it would take quite some time for me to come up with a useful, accurate & enjoyable "v2". I am more than happy to collaborate on this, if someone wants to start that work, I will review the code and integrate it to the main branch. We can even have actual maintainers with wider permissions to the repo. All I need is volunteers and people generally happy with taking ownership.

Thanks
