Similar to what the back button does on many web apps?
Some people say the web is not made for applications but for pages of content. But I often have the feeling that it is even more suitable for apps than the desktop. You can do so many things with "state in the url" - traverse it, bookmark it, share it, have multiple tabs with the app in multiple states ...
- dayjah 2y agoI do a lot of 3D modeling. Part of that requires creating views of your object that you can jump back and forth between. I’d never considered the analogy of a bookmark, thanks for that! When I read about the developer breadcrumbs my eyes lit up; the creation of these views is necessary but also kind of sucks. I would love to be able to say: “show me front elevation of kitchen, looking at rear of building, with fov set to allow me to see the full counter and pantry”. I’m new at this 3D modeling thing in the grand scheme of things, and self taught, but I spend an inordinate amount of time getting to the state described above.
