Komorebi: Another tiling window manager for Windows 10 based on binary space partitioning
Once again I'm happy to answer any questions, and I want to give a special thanks to nog, leftwm and umberwm, whose work this project borrows from and builds upon.

I found interesting to find that Microsoft has Rust as one of the main "Develoipment paths" to development on Windows.
I wrote my very first window manager for Windows 10 in Rust earlier this here, I built it from the ground up using the new windows-rs crate. It was my first time developing anything for Windows and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the MS documentation ecosystem, and I also had a lot of great example code to learn from thanks to other projects like nog.

Closest thing to i3 on windows
My pick would be nog, also see this post. Probably worth a try.

Can I do this?
Instead of explorer.exe, I use Nog which is a tiling window manager for Windows. I have x410 autostart and wsl launch i3.

[yatta] Windows 10 BSP TWM - looking for contributors
To give credit where it is due, I borrowed and repurposed a fair chunk of code from https://github.com/TimUntersberger/nog, https://github.com/tarkah/grout and https://github.com/yazgoo/umberwm to get up and running.

Different window managers (e.g. tiling) on Windows?
Have you looked into methods of hotkeying or auto-removing windows titlebars once a window belongs to a container (maybe they can auto-restore if a window is floated/unmanaged)? I know that workspacer and win3m have something like this.
