Using the window as the application launcher is genius. Tabbed windows at the OS level is also great. I'm honestly blown away by this.

- jeremyevans 5y agoIf you're using X, the fluxbox window manager supports tabbed windows: http://fluxbox.org/ http://fluxbox.org/
- Wherecombinator 5y agoOh that’s really cool. Wonder if there’s an add on for windows/mac/Linux that achiever the same functionality
- Fr0styMatt88 5y agoOne I know of for application windows with tabs in Windows is Stardock Groupy: https://www.stardock.com/products/groupy/ https://www.stardock.com/products/groupy/
- afranchuk 5y agoYeah I've always wished for something like that. That also gives (presumably) a much stronger programmatic association between windows (GUIs) and processes. Trying to programmatically figure those things out in e.g. X11 is sloppy at best.
- clavicat 5y agoIt’s so simple but absolutely brilliant. The only thing the new tab page needs is a search box that searches programs and files. This one person single-handedly “solved” the windows UI paradigm. This is how it should’ve been from the start. There was never any need for a non-window box like a start menu. Microsoft, please hire this man and appoint him dictator of UX.
- mananaysiempre 5y agoNote that Haiku has OS-, or rather WM-level tabs, too, even if they qualify for one of the most non-discoverable GUI features ever[1] (apparently the idea comes from the original BeOS). Their web browser doesn’t use them, though. [1]: https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/gui.html#stack-tile https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/gui.html#stack-ti...
