Recommend a tiling windows manager
You might wanna have a look at quicktile. It's basically an addon that adds tiling to existing WM. Works well, but lacks some of the intrgrations dedicated tiling WM have.

My (challenging) experience building a window switcher for Ubuntu
As the author of QuickTile, which is written in Python but even closer to what you describe than a window manager would be, I have to say that, yeah, doing X11 stuff takes a lot of knowledge that's not ideally documented in non-print sources.

Damn, I’m Jealous!
quicktile is a handy tiling tool which saves me a lot of time. native custom tiling is always better tho
-
Is it possible for the Cinnamon window tiling/snapping feature to work in thirds rather than halves?
It's been a long time since I bothered with this functionality, but I seem to recall that quicktile was a better fit for me than those other two. Not sure if it's still viable.

Rust's problematic reliance on GitHub
Actually, I plan to add a .nojekyll file and then use something like Pelican with custom plugins, then set GitHub Actions to run my update.sh on push... similar to how http://ssokolow.com/quicktile/ is a Sphinx-based site hosted on GitHub Pages and automatically regenerated from the pushed sources.

tilling wm on elementary os ?
I've been using ssokolow.com/quicktile for this purpose, it does what I need and doesn't replace the wm.

Thinking of switching from Cinnamon to XFCE on my daily driver, 2 questions though
If you're into using shortcuts I would recommend installing Quicktile for manage your windows: https://github.com/ssokolow/quicktile

Any good (and easy) windows manager for eOS? Like FancyZones(Windows) or gTitle (Gnome)?
you can try quicktile

Converting an array, slice or vector to base58 encoding WITH check
The best I could do for the API documentation for this project of mine was to use the automodule directive to autogenerate at the coarsest level possible and remember to never create new .py files if I could possibly avoid it.

- Good OpenBox alternative with lots of functionality?

How hard are Window Managers to use?
You may also want to try xpytile https://github.com/jaywilkas/xpytile/ or zentile https://github.com/blrsn/zentile
- gTile or equivalent
- Are there are DEs or WMs that support auto tiling as PopOS does?
-
Light weight tiling manager for XFCE4 (and others) - a zentile fork with multi monitor support.
I guess this should work for zentile but per https://github.com/blrsn/zentile/blob/master/config.go I am seeing just ignore, not window.ignore? That might be something you know better about. (ignore = ['ulauncher', 'gnome-screenshot'])
-
Anyway to snap application windows to corners, instead of half screen?
Not out of the box, but there's utilities like zentile that work on EWMH-compliant window managers to make them tile -- I'm not sure if elementaryOS's WM, Gala, follows that spec, but if it does then it should work.
- Is there a program like rectangle for Ubuntu?
-
xfwm and i3
No. But you can use zentile
