Hi HN!

I built dazzle with Antoine out of the frustration of having to use tabs on mobile. We wanted to explore a shared history/tabs mechanism that we expected to be particularly adapted to mobile usage.

After a few months of dog fooding we felt like it was time to share it publicly even if it's still a bit rough on the edges (and very experimental really).

Hope you have fun trying it, feedback welcome and encouraged.

Nice work on this. I actually like the simplicity of it. Feels light weight and fast.

We live in an era of distrust so without seeing your terms / privacy policy I was not comfortable logging into a site with a password so may be worth adding a blurb about that. On the bottom where you display the URL, I value seeing HTTPS where applicable as well. I don't want to feel like I am losing security by using this. Last thought, it would be nice to customize the homepage away from google. This one is just vanity though. Good work and good luck.

Hi! That's fair. Pending terms of services; you have access to the source code here: https://github.com/spolu/dazzle

Of course; this is all very experimental for now.

PS: that's the whole point of a Show HN :-)
