This project seems interesting. I usually use a 4x4 grid on i3. I wonder if your pluggin can handle this kind of grid. From the pictures, it seems like new windows are arranged vertically only, as columns.

Yes, new windows is added as columns, but it's possible to manually tile two (or more) columns into rows after.
Adding some sort of toggle that opens new windows as a new row is certainly possible. Interesting idea to open in new row if the current column only has X windows and new column otherwise :)
This rule could also be window type specific. Eg. if the current window is a browser open in new column. If its a terminal, new row.

I do the same on KDE with the grid-tiling plugin [0]. You can also configure the rows/columns inside each workspace (I use 2x2 for max 4 windows per workspace).
meta+WASD/arrow keys to move in the workspace grid, plus a 4x4 square on my keyboard mapped to each individual workspace, hold down alt too to bring the current window with you.
meta+Q/E to resize the active window, and meta+tab is like alt-tab but for workspaces. meta+ctrl+WASD/arrow keys to swap window positions.
meta+F/T to toggle floating/tiling, useful for calculators etc. Floated windows always stay on top.
