EDIT: Oh, I see. They just released it. It was the older version 2 days ago (September 10) https://web.archive.org/web/20250910142406/https://posthog.c...
Oh god. It has a pleasant color scheme, but this is an awful idea. By trying to recreate windows and bookmarks in the web app you're at best just implementing redundant features and getting in the way of the native browser features by trying to showcase yours, at worst breaking regular web usage entirely. Take their right click menu for items to select whether you want an in-app tab or real browser tab. Congrats, you…
Why this feels so incredibly appealing compared to prevailing designs is probably something for a psychologist / cognitive scientist / neurologist (?) to answer -- there is certainly something here that warrants better study than what we in the software industry do in rushed blog posts. But I can personally speak to at least one aspect, having worked for a company that does high end web sites and strategy for large S…

The top level comment is confusing marketing success with UI/UX success: it tickles their brain because they're the target audience. To everyone else this is weird and overwhelming if you're looking for something and suddenly run into it.
Might still be fun/whimsical if you're not looking for something and just stumble upon it, or get shown that
It would be a hard no from me if the actual product/application was like this though.
Usability and perf experience for me: - I'm getting about 5 FPS scrolling on a M4 Pro - Moving a "window" around takes 29% of my CPU, and renders at about 2 fps - I'm losing about 40% of my screen height for reading (14" laptop screen). So much so none of the article is visible above the fold, just the title and by-line. - My browser's CMD-F finds things on layers hidden under the current window - Changing window siz…
It opened a change log. It took about 5 seconds to get to 94%. Then about 20 seconds to load.
There are about 40 items.
Almost perfect. Inspirational. It just needed to create a little box you can drag around when you click on nothing, like OS desktops have. So here's the snippet to do that, toss this in the console and live the dream: (() => { let startX, startY, box, dragging = false; const style = document.createElement('style'); style.textContent = ` .___selection-box { position: absolute; pointer-events: none; border: 1px dashed…

If you are a no name startup, doing something like this will be a bad idea. My 2 cents.

Same slow spreadsheet load as sibling, but that seems like a backend issue.
