## What it is
WinWM (win3wm) is a tiling window manager for Windows 10, inspired by i3wm, written in C++. It supports multi-monitor setups, LuaJIT scripting for configuration, and uses virtual desktops to manage window layouts.

## Use cases
- tile windows on windows 10 like i3wm
- manage multiple monitors with a tiling window manager
- script window manager behavior with lua
- remove titlebars and add gaps to windows
- keyboard-driven window management on windows

## When to choose
- you want an i3-like tiling workflow on Windows 10
- you need multi-monitor tiling with per-monitor status bars
- you want to customize layouts via LuaJIT scripting

## When to avoid
- you need Windows 11 support or polished stability
- you require layout persistence across restarts or crash recovery
- your taskbar is not at the bottom of the screen
