Truly awesome. This might be a game-changer for laptops. If I were actively using a laptop, I would definitely be using this.

  Why not use a series of full-screen apps like in Monterey? I don't get it. Horizontal scrolling is such a jarring experience.

    content vertical, context horizontal. Not so revolutionary.

      On macOS you can easily tile pairs of apps on a single virtual screen and switch between virtual screens with a gesture. But you always know you're on a particular screen; it's all or nothing. Arbitrary scroll left and right with arbitrary window widths is going to be tiresome, and good luck keeping up with what the window manager in that demo is doing when you're tired. Scrolling automatically to the window that has focus? Narp. Applications that are half off the screen? Why? It's just extra cognitive load. It's not good.

        Personally I'd like it a lot. I think applications half of the screen can make sense. It'd be great to use to place things off screen that I may not need to use actively like Chrome devtools. Accessibility is an issue though. If i could three finger scroll context horizontally that would be nice.

          But isn't having things positioned half-off the screen one of the traditional overlapping-window manager patterns that tiling window managers are meant to avoid?
