Makes a lot of sense. Save energy, travel further and carry more. Unfortunate that I won't have a blimp arriving at my doorstep though (yet!) :P Good luck!

Yeah, it's something we thought about a lot before implementing the current system. We think apps like Superhuman have brought the idea of single-key shortcuts into the forefront, …

I think something like acquisition is a really fair concern. Someone here has recommended tying our values down into some form of legal agreement which prevents the company from st…

Fair enough. If you're fixed on that, we're not trying to change your mind (yet :p). It's a different business model for browsers, we know, but we do think it will be best for the …

We find Electron lacking on performance compared to native. Try out the product, tell us how to improve it, and we will :)

Nice, thanks for sharing! :D My personal inspiration is Vim (as mentioned in the post), but we want to avoid the initial punishing feeling that learners feel when learning Vim. Sig…

Yup, totally get you. We'll be picking this task up soon hopefully. You can help speed this process up by reporting the issue using the question mark at the bottom-left of the app.…

Heya, glad you're liking it! You can't open multiple windows of SigmaOS at the moment. This is something we would like to add especially for users using multiple monitors.

Yeah, sorry it seemed like it was disabled! As Ali mentioned, when you deselect both options, the button says "I'll do this later", which you can click to skip.

Good point. Currently though, if you "z" a page you've closed, it preserves your input. The system isn't perfect, but it prevents any fear of accidental closing.

Thanks! Will try and add that in then.

That sounds like a bug. Will look into it ASAP. If you report the issue using the question mark on the bottom-left of the app, I'll be able to follow up with you directly :)

Fair point to check. All harmless here though :P These are all users who joined during our private beta and who we spoke to personally :)

I've had 100+ for sure. When I used Safari, I had about 15-20 windows open. And honestly, I think SigmaOS is still great (biased ofc :p) when you have a few pages open, just from t…

Hmm, I want to look further into how often this happens. Was this a big issue for you with Vimium? Right now, if you accidentally close a page, you can quickly "Z" (or click the un…

Heya, thanks for the feedback! We were trying to replicate a Typeform-like feel (questions, one by one) to make it more palatable but the goal isn't to bait you into thinking you'r…

This is a fair point. Right now, it shows a message on the bottom-left asking if you meant to close a page and suggesting "D" as the shortcut instead. I think adding a classic mode…

Awesome, thanks for the case-by-case advice, and a good point on the marketing aspect of things. Really really appreciate it :)

The engine is WebKit. It is our long-term goal for that name to make more and more sense :)
