#2Can you post some video or something? The screenshot doesn't give too much.

#3I always wanted non linear history. Often a bookmark is not enough, I'd love to rewalk on the discovery of a particular page. Similarly, on linux, curl (IIRC) adds the source url to a downloaded file metadata.

#4I always thought that nobody really used Vala anymore. Kind of neat to see it in use.

I remember using Voyage [1], a Firefox addon to get timeline-like history view. Seems like it hasn't been updated in a while though.

Most GNOME apps started today are done in Vala afaik. It’s just starting to get traction. Maybe not at fast as $HipsterLang, but steadily.

#7The way I understand that image: Each bar is the equivalent of a tab, and the linked circles are the visiting history for that tab.
The busy blue bar near the bottom shows that you visited six links, went back to the third link and visited four from there, then went back to the second of those four and visited one. The large size and white color of that one last circle means that it's what you're visiting now?
Or I'm totally off, and this is an alien interface in need of interpretation by Hoshi Sato.

I didn't think someone would wrote a plugin for that. Thanks. I would be good to revive it.

You're right. It is rendering your Browsing history as Tree basically.

Yup except for the large image, you got everything right.
The large image _was_ the topmost suggestion of autocompletion at the time. This one in particular was "search the string in the url-bar with duckduckgo". It does not exist anymore. It has been replaced with three neat columns that organize suggestions in a better way.
