I love the spatial organization. I, not even five or six hours ago, had made a note on my iPhone describing something just like it (except where you would get to the spatial organization view by dragging down the bar at the top of the window). My thought was that we (humans) can remember spaces quite well, and certainly much better than we can track a tab's location in an ever-expanding list. IMO, spatial organization should replace bookmarks (and tabs should be treated as bookmarks unless the user has interacted with them since the browser was opened. Maybe I use tabs in a weird way). Will definitely have to give this a try when it makes its way to other operating systems.

It just so happens I was thinking about spatial org just yesterday, that it would be so nice if I can have 'villages' of tabs on a (geographical) Map. Amazing co-incidence that I woke up to bonsai browser notification! You might find The Humane Representation of Thought[1] by Bret Victor[2] useful, where he demonstrates by example, how existing tools/software (generally speaking) doesn't utilize all the 'superpowers' that we acquired via evolution. --- [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agOdP2Bmieg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agOdP2Bmieg [2]: http://worrydream.com http://worrydream.com Edit - grammatical fixes

> when it makes its way to other operating systems. know you're referring to browser, but an OS - I think Oberon - had desktop as much larger than screen leading to ability to zoom around and create piles of windows

  Active Object System / Bluebottle (2002) is the version of Oberon you might be thinking of. But many did it before that - the first variants go back to the early 70's at least.
