Twitter post by Daniel Feldman (@d_feldman): Linux is the only major operating system to support diagonal mode (credit [Twitter] @xssfox). Image shows an untrawide monitor rotated about 45 degrees, with a horizontal IDE window taking up a bottom triangle. A web browser and settings menu above it are organized creating a window shape almost like a stepped pyramid.

That, right there, is a perfect example of why folks need to stop trying to shoehorn web apps everywhere they don't belong. It's a use-case for a proper native mobile app if ever there was one.
even if it's just mobile
you already have to handle landscape/portrait mode
now imagine having to handle angled
That's why you should've just handled arbitrary rotations instead of inventing a finite predefined set of orientation "modes" in the first place.
Things get a lot easier in the long run if you aggressively look for commonalities and genericize the code that handles them instead of writing bunches of one-off special cases.
true
however
everything would be fluid in the layout and you would need to set what should go on top of what. And having this feature doesn't seem worth the hassle of making if work, or even using it.
Imagine trying to type in a 'fluid' keyboard
TBH tho, seems like a cool gimmick for some apps.
