I'm not sure I see the point. Firefox can do that with tab groups (E.G: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/panorama-tab-gro... ), and your OS can put it in the foreground with the shortcut you like. Why an entirely new browser? If you want something more polish, a firefox add on or some OS service would be less work and benefit from the ecosystem. Or is it a case of FTP vs Dropbox and I'm nerding out?

#33I’d love for a web browser to have first-class integration with a universal personal search system like Monocle [0]. I find if I want to learn something new I am searching externally, but if I am attempting to recall something, being able to search through all my indexed notes in the same interface I’m building, researching, and planning in has potential.

Yes, I did notice the comment about a Windows and Linux version coming. I'll check out the Bonsai Browser when the Linux version is available. I suggest that the developers post on HN again to announce when the other versions are available.

The spatial organization thing looks pretty novel to me.

#37Anyway, as someone who has used all kind of flavors of grouping in firefox (and still is using it with tree style tabs now), I can say that grouping is nice, but on the long run not nice enough. It helps to organize your mess, but the lack of effortless integration into something outside your browser is a real problem for serious work.
Maybe MacOS can offer some ways there, I remember in the past they had good options via applescript.

#38Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thanks! Our plan right now is to do a perpetual fallback license for $50 when we can prove the browser is something people want. We could make the browser free later on if we can provide paid features that require us to run servers.

#40I would use it specifically for programming or my security engineering work. Do y’all envision the product being used to fill this specific research niche? Or do you intend to create a browser to replace chrome/ff/safari?
