I had this exact idea and I've described it to colleagues before. Fun to see parallel evolution. It feels like a simple concept that should already exist, so I'm surprised it's not more commonly attempted. But you're missing a few of the features that I came up with that build on the initial idea. I haven't gotten around to implementing it yet, but it's on my todo list for this year/next year. I was planning to build…

#13I need to know how this guy will escape the curse of reimplementing a less-VR version of XanaduSpace over HTTPS. Will search his RSS.

#14This is pretty neat! And I strongly suggest that you contact Kay Xu , who is doing research on sensemaking [1] [2] and berrypicking [3], I think he is currently working on newer and better version of his approach with browser extensions (as opposed to a separate renderer), and you both would benefit from collaboration.

#20Looks 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.
OTOH, being able to quickly go back to the junction where I left the path I was supposed to follow, is invaluable too.
In vim, I also never got my head around the undo-branching feature. I understand it, but fail to use it in practice. I guess my ADHD brain can handle linear history better than a branching history.
