Fantastic! Managing views in eclipse like this is one of the things that keeps me using eclipse.

From looking at the demo and the docs...

What I didn't see in the demo was changing the order of a tab within a panel via drag-and-drop (no "allowIntraPaneTabMove"?). Also presuming you can close tabs to left, right, or all other tabs (would need tabs as list to implement this in application). Also might like to somehow manage title elision when there are multiple tabs. Also want to change pane proportions on the fly. Also assuming one can have two views of the same document in different tabs.

So many possibilities! I'll try it in some app...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yeah I realized that only now, for some reason when I was on mobile and I was looking into this the demo video was not loading at all. I would love to retract my comment :(

I totally missed the video on mobile too.

Yes, just blank space instead of video on mobile. Edit: opening in Safari worked

This is excessively beautiful, both the website and the library's UI. But I have to ask: what's the rationale on dedicating such an elaborate and gorgeous website for just a library? Are you hoping to get hired for web design? Are you seeking fame and repute? Do you merely do it for the love of the game? Why, for the love of all that's good, pray tell why put all this effort into mere documentation ?

Just look at his website and you'll see why. https://www.alasdairmonk.com/

I’m jealous of how prolific they are, with a good taste for design and number of side projects. Well done.
