Wayland clipboard managers

This cluster consists of clipboard managers and utilities built for the Wayland display protocol, offering features such as history tracking, GUI and CLI interfaces, and specific compositor support. The dated history shows sparse entries in 2019 and 2022, followed by a consistent flow of new members from mid-2025, with the highest monthly count (four) in July 2026. Traction leaders are rift-clipboard-bin, cursor-clip-bin, and waypin, each with zero stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
