New window manager and apps for MidnightBSD

I recently started working on a brand new window manager with a search app.

The code is mostly done with ai so far but I’ve been using it on two systems for a few weeks.

Repo is https://github.com/midnightbsd/midnight-wm/

I’m targeting MidnightBSD specifically but it should run on FreeBSD and possibly other operating systems.

I also have developed a simple chat app (not pictured) with it that can talk to local ollama or other open ai compatible endpoints. It has basic tool call support for web searches, file system searches and package management queries.
