I got tired of the existing tiling window managers and their lack of documentation, so I made my own that behaves like vim. It's called howm and can be found here:

There was a thread on HN about it a while ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8241978), I have fixed a lot of the issues since then, most notably:

  - Moving away from needing to recompile every time you change an option is _nearly_ done.

  - Howm can now be scripted by sending commands over a UNIX socket.

  - I have split howm into multiple source files (I will merge this tonight when I have finished the docs).

  - I added some nice gifs to the documentation.
