The name of the library is 'libhandy'.

Indeed, it is handy - it is useful for phones, but perhaps an
undervalued application is it's use with tiling window managers. With
these there is a great benefit to having windows no larger than
necessary. There's a lot that's good about programs that can adapt to
different screen sizes!

If anyone is interested in developing with this library, there is a
tutorial and proof-of-concept here, in which the author explains how to
create a libhandy+Flatpak application with the Builder IDE. There's also
a list of Gnome applications that use this library in the GitLab link.
