Long-time StumpWM user, before I switched back to Windows a few years ago. This is super-exciting to see, and I'm going to take it for a spin. It might just address my major frustrations with arranging windows and switching between them; my monitor seems just the right shape/resolution for the standard Windows splits to be suboptimal.
(Browsers, in particular, I use full-screen less and less. That annoying trend of squeezing everything into short lines "because readability" is just wasting too much screen space; zooming in makes everything too big, and I'm getting tired of writing userstyles or userscript to fix it for every other page I open, so I'm back to keeping 2 or 3 columns of windows running.)
Also, any excuse to use more Lisp is good in my book. Based on the screenshots, it looks stellar; if it works half as well as it comes across, I'll switch over instantly.
A fellow StumpWM user!
My StumpWM is heavily customized though, and I mostly modeled Jwno's behavior after my own config, so it may not be what you expected at all.
But that's one of the reasons I like Lisp and things built in Lisp: They are so flexible, you can sometimes build something based on the original thing, while it feels completely different from the original.

Do you use an ultra-wide? In that case, Jwno has no OOTB ultra-wide support, but there's a section for adjusting it in the cookbook[1].

Actually no, I'm using two regular, 16:19, 2560x1440 screens. It's more that my understanding of readability does not agree with what designers think, and when I split the screen in half, many pages end up with text a little too small for my comfort, and if zoom in to compensate, the lines get slightly too short or horizontal scrollbar appears.
(I'd guess it's probably my somewhat strong myopia glasses that are getting me "out of alignment" from average user when it comes to text size and line length preferences.)

Lovely!
FWIW, I took it for a spin briefly (only briefly - had work to finish, but I plan on getting back to it) and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it is, and how well it handles Windows quirks. It feels nicer than StumpWM did back when I used it. The only thing that didn't work well was VLC - it does something weird with recreating its window when switching between videos, and in the process, it "breaks out of confinement" and ends up returning to original size and position it had before Jwno took custody of it.
