I'm writing this comment from a PolyBrowser tab :)
First of all - great job on shipping! This looks great for a first version, and I think it has good potential.
Granted I've only been using it for about 10 minutes, here is some feedback I have so far. I am using a fairly new Macbook Pro.
* panning between tabs is quite jittery and I get lots of jank when scrolling in general (vertical-in-tab or horizontal-between-tabs). Optimizing this might have been low on the list but I think it would make a huge difference in experience if it were smooth and snappy. I have a decent machine so I don't think it is a hardware constraint.
* The interface is a bit bulky, and layout can be improved, and I feel there is some wasted real estate. It may be a challenge to have visual cues for separation, but simplifying and cleaning up a bit would go a long way.
* When I focus on a text box or otherwise click on a tab, you should bring it into view. I understand there is a good use case for typing something while viewing another tab - but not if I cant see anything at all.
* Probably just an issue for folks with a Mac gesture pad, but the swiping to pan from tab-to-tab also triggers the back action for a page. Probably need to override the browser action and continue panning since that's the action I started with.
Thats all for now! Thanks.
- digitalcreate 12y agoThanks for the thorough review. All excellent points! You're right, we focused on getting everything as reasonably polished as possible before launching version 1.0, so that we could expand the audience and get more feedback (just like this). :)
