In plain words

This is a tiling window manager for Windows 10 that applies concepts from i3wm, a popular Linux window manager. It automatically arranges open windows into tiles rather than allowing them to overlap freely. The software is designed for users who prefer keyboard-driven window management and want to organize their desktop more efficiently. It's built for those familiar with tiling window managers seeking similar functionality on Windows.

    Hi HN! I read[1] about Janet[2] some time ago, then immediately got impressed by the enthusiasm of its community, and by the language itself, so I started playing with it. At the time I was searching for a tiling window manager for Windows, and unavoidably the idea of scratching my own itch with Janet got hold of me, so Jwno was born. Simply put, Jwno is a keyboard-driven tiling window manager for Windows, scriptable with Janet. But since it has a complete Lisp runtime, and a thin wrapper library for Win32 APIs[3], you can certainly do much more with it. I hope you'll enjoy playing with it…
