I would love autocomplete in URLs I haven’t visited before. Eg my browser should be able to query foo.com for all its available urls and let me search / filter through them via autocomplete.
So I could type
foo.com/sig
And I see/tab through the route for foo.com/sign-in or signup or whatever the server has available.
We’d need an agreed endpoint for browsers to query (.well-known/routes?) and some implementations to automatically / easily generate the routes, but it doesn’t seem unfeasible

- exocet_uk 8y agoWe already have sitemap.xml that could be used for this purpose
- albertgoeswoof 8y agoYou're right actually. Building a web extension for this would be pretty cool. I'll take that on when I get some free time.
- matt4077 8y agositemaps easily run into the gigabytes for larger sites. I just checked https://www.nytimes.com/sitemaps/www.nytimes.com/sitemap.xml.gz https://www.nytimes.com/sitemaps/www.nytimes.com/sitemap.xml... and it contains 2000 urls of individual weekly sitemaps of 1 or 2MB each. And that's just part of their sitemap structure.
