Neat! I was making something like this a while ago, but got dragged away. One thing I was implementing there that I'd push here as a feature-request:

Provide a simple api to allow binding keyboard shortcuts for common manipulation of the layout, like closing a panel, switching a tab etc. That'd be great for complex applications, specially the ones which use this lib for making native apps based on electron/node-webkit etc.

That's an awesome lib! I got confused regarding the license though. The README file says dual licensed as CC-BY-NC 4.0 or GPL 3, but the LICENSE file in the repo says MIT. The FAQ[0] also mentions MIT.

I assume MIT is the right license.

Good find, thanks. I've changed it, it's just MIT

Nice! And thanks for using such a permissive license like MIT :)

That is pretty awesome work! I'm working on an EHR app and may use this.

That's nice, but it's terrible on my iPhone.

yup, its a paradigm that doesn't translate too well to mobile - so mobile support is only rudimentary (at best)

I remember this! I used it to prototype an HTML layout replacement for a Java GUI. Then I moved on to other companies and projects. Still looks great.

Looks really cool, would love to use this in a project of mine. Is it possible to attach a layout to an existing react component and run it inside that? From the documentation I see that passing a DOM element to init() is possible, not sure if that's going to make it in my case..
