The Philosophy

unix way (1970s):
- multi-user mainframe
- everyone logs in
- slow switch
- ANCIENT

uwu.ᛊ way (2026):
- 1 user, many personas
- instant switch (meta+N)
- different contexts
- MODERN

the sun illuminates all personas equally uwu

Core Feature: Personas

meta+1 → work
meta+2 → play
meta+3 → create
meta+N → whatever you need

each persona:
- isolated context
- own apps/state
- own browser profile
- own env vars
- instant switch

not multi-user. multi-context.

INSIDE EACH PERSONA:

2D grid, all windows maximized:

    ↑
  ┌───┬───┬───┐
  │ A │ B │ C │
←─├───┼───┼───┤─→
  │ D │[E]│ F │  ← current
  ├───┼───┼───┤
  │ G │ H │ I │
  └───┴───┴───┘
    ↓

- swipe/key to navigate
- all windows fullscreen
- no floating
- no manual resize
- just flow
