I didn't find the demo very easily but here it is for others[1]. Pretty amazing demo 1- https://cohere.so/demo

Slightly frustrated the demo broke my back button (history hijacking) on my phone (safari) and I had to close the window (should have opened it in a new tab i guess).

Same for me. The demo is really cool, this seems like a fantastic concept. But getting my back button hijacked drives me crazy.

How do you handle browsing? Does Cohere only work with SPAs? Do you inject turbolinks or something similar to prevent resets of the execution environment when users navigate between pages?

Our non-SPA users generally stick us in the head of their standard page template. We store a token in sessionStorage (so it's not trackable across tabs) that is sent over when the page is reloaded in order to keep track of sessions across navigations.

Thanks for reporting, this shouldn't be the case (I'm unable to replicate it on Chrome). Will test on iOS!

In theory they could use something like a session cookie to keep the server-side session intact when page navigation happens. I think I would prefer that over injecting something like Turbolinks or limiting this to SPAs.

No sweat. It was on iOS for me. I bookmarked you guys though, this product looks really nice!
