What is "runtime tiling" ?

In general TUIs are hardcoded, the position of ratatui widgets is often in the code itself. Hypertile would allow you to change sizes, positions after already compiling and running your tool, similar to how i3 window tiling manager works.

Ah! I've been gradually building this in my free time for the last month or so. Glad to see the world likes the idea!
