This brings back memories. Szymon is/was also active in minimal/experimental music scene [0] back in the days. I think in my hometown (Poznan, Poland) back those 10-15 years ago, there was some self-made small art-hacker community. Great to see his work again!

I've been using Gingko Writer [1] since it was "gingkoapp" -- it's similar in how information is structured (hierarchical vs linear), but focused on creating, not consuming. The tool permits a rather free-flow approach to compiling things in various scopes [2], and can render a final linear work product from it.

OP's browser and gingko mashed up together would be the perfect thing -- find/explore/learn, annotate, synthesize, organize, and combine into a finished thing, be it a reference or a proof.

Slightly unrelated: > As an aside, I also use this technique for navigating code with Vim, where a single shortcut goes to a definition of a function in a new pane I was intrigued by this, and searched the author's github for their .vim.

Haystack[0] is pretty cool for something like this actually.

I raised the feature of side by side panes as something desirable in Firefox and got pushback in replies[0] proclaiming people couldn't imagine why anyone would want it / that it was solely a domain of the DE. Happy to see that someone figured out that it did make sense.
