- colect extensions that does similar thing and compare it to Mosaic model:
- Tile persistance
- well, I loose all my tiles when I do a refresh :(
- Find on a page (⌘F)
- implemented in a copy cat fashion not to alienate people
- instead it might focus URL bar with
[In Page]
pill in front of a blinking cursor and search icon somewhere near-by - use via "!inpage" bang
- Switch tiles by dragging?
- alt dragging one tile over the other and releasing, could rearrange tiles so that they will switch the places
- scenario:
- I have screen with Reddit and Work shared as 1:2 (terrible idea, but the idea is you won't fall into uninterupted procrastination cycle if you'll keep disruptor present)
- Alt-dragging Reddit onto a work tile
- Now I have Reddit 2 times bigger than work (again, keeping the disruptor present)
- There is no indicator/screen when there is no tile present
- Picture in Picture? Not for video, but as a floating tile
- Zen mode – temporary showing only single tile
- Adding "+" button for new tab in the stack would be nice
- Visual non-linear history
- I want to see a high-level nodes-and-edges visualization of my browsing history – it is going to be probably a let down.

- https://dothq.co/ – Looks like vaporware, but with a beautiful landing page.
- https://getstack.app/ – Polished card-based browsing
- Keeping history in Git – Might have super interesting consequences.
- Built-in web server – Opera had built-in web server, which was über cool! Chrome has DevTools that are super powerful. Marrying the two might end up looking like this:
- I open new tile, pull up DevTools for that blank page. Edit source of it, e.g. add
<h1>Hello world</h1>
to it, push a toolbar button called "Live Share" and bam – I've got shareable URL that I can send to Steve. Steve opens it and see page with a header spelling "Hello world". Then I switch to DevTools and change word "world" to "Mosaic". Steve immediatelly see the change on his end. - I'll add
<form><input /><button /></form>
and some action logic, and surprise, surprise Steve's hitting of a button will deliver the message "somehow" to me. Absolutely no idea how to do it. - Already exists – https://beakerbrowser.com/

- Integrated BOINC – Enabled by default without switch is bleh. Enabled with switch doesn't sound really nice. Maybe "share your CPU for Science" :D Not really. It is a bad idea.
- Visual clipboard – drag&drop into clipboard situated in a near-by panel. Should be great for researching stuff.
- Social browsing – you'll be able to interact with people visiting the same site in real-time.
- Visual non-linear history – history that can branch like a git repo, always preserved navigation metadata, i.e. answering questions like "How did I get there?", "What did I do there?".
