The project is based upon Material Shell. While Material-Shell aims to apply a 'material' replacement of gnome's UI panels, BreezyTile focuses on just clean tiling management without actually changing gnome's UI. This GNOME Shell extension provides a performant, opinionated mouse/keyboard workflow, but without any changes to the actual gnome shell layout.
