I did something similar (NetCaptor)… starting in 1997. It’s cool to see that Maxthon is still around.

Wow - that was a doozy.

I built the "first tabbed browser", NetCaptor, back in 1997. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/josephbernstein/meet-th... My take - some of us leave tabs open way too long becau…

You can't move to the Bay Area now? Sorry - I have an ulterior motive. We're in desperate need of high-level JS/Backbone.js engineers.

Exactly. Just sent you an email. Let's chat.

Are you open to relocating to San Francisco?

30 minutes. Would have been less but the IVR response was a little confusing. Took about 40 lines Ruby code to solve.
