Ace jump for i3
I think wmfocus (Github, Arch) should be what you are looking for. It describes itself as "heavily inspired by i3-easyfocus."

Problem starting application with comma flags on i3config
I use wmfocus to switch my floating window efficiently.

Switching and swapping windows with ace-jump/easymotion-like hints
I've searched around for similar tools (and this has been asked in the past in other places: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/368825/select-x-windows-using-the-keyboard-like-ace-jump-hint-following-or-similar). The only tools I've found, in addition to XMonad's EasyMotion, are https://github.com/loki42/easyxmotion (mentioned in the stackexchange link) but after some quick and dirty hacks of the code (which is way over my head) I was not able to get much larger fonts nor obtain the window ID. There are also two tools that work with i3: https://github.com/cornerman/i3-easyfocus and https://github.com/svenstaro/wmfocus . Both give window's IDs and the last one displays large fonts with a small square background, so hints have great visibility. Both should, in principle, be window manager agnostic (https://github.com/cornerman/i3-easyfocus/issues/3 , https://github.com/svenstaro/wmfocus/issues/4 ), but those issues for WM-independent implementations are still open and the only existing implementations are for i3. (I played with both and looked at the code, but removing the i3 dependencies was not obvious to me ---and wmfocus is Rust, which I've never dealt with before).

Penrose – Penrose
By the way, just for clarity, note that the comments in this subthread were written before we updated the random seed for that example to result in a much better diagram: https://github.com/penrose/penrose/pull/1700

Penrose 3.0
Testing the tutorial link (https://penrose.cs.cmu.edu/docs/tutorial/welcome) locally with Firefox 115.0.2 seems okay. If this problem persists, can you file an issue about it in our repo: (https://github.com/penrose/penrose/issues)?

Constrain – Interactive figures using declarative constraint solving
I love the idea, although it doesn't seem to perform very smoothly, even on simple examples. A related project is Penrose [^1], except the latter isn't interactive.
