For years it has been obvious to me that a snail-like arrangement of browser tabs would be superior to linear modes. It clearly guides the visual focus to the screen center, and you notice when your tabs spiral out of control.

After years of brainstorming a friend started building it: https://github.com/grubersjoe/tabsnail

Credits go out to

@joo for being way more professional than any vibe coding can bring to the table and understanding the need for this in a way I never managed

Junji Ito for letting us aspire to a user experience that we shall not escape.

@joo Uzumaki. The browser we never had.

It should be built in Haskell so that we have an easy way to build infinite lists of tabs. Don't care that we traverse the tabs in only one direction. Everything is in there. Just tab forward. Get closer.

@mushu @joo Amazing!
Iā€™m craving that classic Turing machine feel: active tab/reading head fixed top center, tabbing left or right makes the spiral move beneath it.

Ooh, there could be a keyboard shortcut to move outwards or inwards one layer in the spiral.

Tab spirals are the future, I see it now!

@joborg @joo oh, having the spiral move sounds lovely šŸ˜ I like that idea :)
