What problem is this solving exactly?
- TheCoreh 9y agoThe problem of existing browsers poorly handling usage-cases with hundreds, perhaps thousands of tabs open.
- bradhe 9y agoSo is it just a new way of organizing tabs? I'm not sure what the issue is with browsers having many tabs open, besides it being difficult to navigate between them (and obviously resource consumption)
- kodablah 9y ago> besides it being difficult to navigate between them That's it. Hierarchical pages makes it really easy to contextually browse or what I call "immutable browsing" which is never just clicking, but always ctrl+clicking links to never change your current page. Also, the one thing many people don't realize is how easy it should be to close dozens of pages. A simple drag across the close buttons in Doogie (or drag over which ones you want) helps close swaths of pages.
- schindlabua 9y agoDifficult navigation is enough of a problem. Seeing just a single letter of the page title because you have a hundred tabs open makes finding tabs really hard and cumbersome.
- roywiggins 9y agoIt actually seems very useful for people who like to research, and organize their current stream-of-research into tabs.

- sparkie 9y agoIt's solving the problem that Firefox has nuked the tree-style-tabs browser extension in FF57. It also highlights a good reason to write a separate browser as opposed to implementing it as an extension for one of the big player's browsers, because you can guarantee they'll break your extension within 3 years.
- dorian-graph 9y agoThe analogy of it being an IDE is telling. You can think of some browsers as the equivalent of being a text editor, some as intermediates (Sublime Text), then this as an IDE. I'm excited for it.
