There’s currently very little user-facing documentation; in general you can imagine it to work approximately the same way as EXWM. Wayland windows (e.g. your browser) just become another buffer inside of a full-screen Emacs frame, and then you use the normal Emacs window management paradigm.
This project is pretty new (river 0.4.0 just came out, and I wrote this originally two weeks ago, with last week being the first week where it was actually usable). There’s a few more things I want to implement and clean up before I focus on making it more usable, right now the early users are mostly experienced EXWM-users and so on, i.e. people who don’t really require any hand-holding. I think it makes sense to put off the “user-friendliness” until there’s a certain level of polish and stability in the core features.
