Bonsai Browser
October 13th, 2021
Web-browser for research that helps programmers think clearly. With Bonsai, rather than being like, I’m going to go use my web browser now, you hit Option + Space and it brings up a browser. It’s either full-screen or a very minimal float-over-everything window. You can visually organize things into Workspaces. I can see it is…
iOS Browser Choice
September 28th, 2021

Safari 15 Opinions
July 28th, 2021
It was interesting that when Safari 15 was dropping at this last WWDC, in my circles at least, I mostly heard enthusiasm.
