#232Kind of a vague question: what's been the experience with the Bosai browser for you, or the people you have surveyed, in terms of researching stuff? Love the concept and from the demo it looks well executed, defintely will try when I hop on a mac.
One of the things that I found interesting was that as you become more expert in a field you take less notes. At the start of your PhD everything is new but by the end you know the name and research group of everyone in your field.
What does not go away is the need for a flexible and low friction way to collect and organize things like journal articles. Some sort of mental ontology about your field replaces the need for actually writing lots of stuff day to day.

#233Curious if you considered to write a window-manager instead, because that would allow programmers to use other applications besides webbrowsers. E.g. you could put a Mathematica window in a pane, while coding in another pane.
I'll look into this. We could bundle a terminal emulator like Hyper easily. Ideally we could get access to some sort of frame-buffers for other applications. I wonder how much control apple lets you have.
