Everybody is talking about the existential risk posed by AI but this guys release this tool in the wild without any rail guards... concerning, really. A bit more seriously, it can be really useful to have a graph of ArXiv tabs instead of a linear range of tabs, this can be very handy when doing a dive in scientific literature.

How does this related to "AI"?

AHAHAHAHAHAH oh man

Looks like the stuff of dreams and nightmares for a ADHD user. Am I the only one who regularly ends up a browsing session with 300 tabs? This feels like a feature I'd overuse, and which would only make my life much worse.

I was thinking, this would be really useful for doing research. But you remind me, I also have 400+ tabs open in my browser right now without any chance of going down, and how this going to spiral out of control.

"I shared a preview on Twitter, to a surprisingly overwhelming response, but I got distracted with other things and never got back to the project".

Creates rabbit-holing browser, gets distracted....

All jokes aside, the description of the Vim functionality reminds me of the Whisper browser for Squeak, that had something of a depth-oriented SmalltalkBrowser to avoid the inevitable proliferation of windows in the normal course of things. Interesting that enough functionality for reorienting source browsing like that in Vim is about two lines of config. But, of course, the Whisper browser had stacking of things as well as sideways browsing, and new UI.

I prune mercilessly. I currently use chrome grouping as the main way to reduce tab spam

Offload tabs to OneTab when the amount is overwhelming.

I regularly have to declare tab bankruptcy. By which I mean I bookmark the several hundred still-open tabs in a folder named after the date of said declaration.

…you know, in case I, uh, want to continue to work through them some other day... :|
