Clarify some of the to-do list items #32

Open arielcostas opened 2 years ago

arielcostas commented 2 years ago

The to-do list items could be moved into github discussions (if enabled) or issues in a project board. And some clarification could be provided for some of the points:

What does "page navigation feature" refer to? Showing an outline of the titles/subtitles in a document?
Does "Simple A/B page switching system" mean having tabs as most web browsers?
What points of the Egsam test fail or aren't implemented?

Corewala commented 2 years ago

I'll be putting this on the README soon, but to clarify here:

Yes, page navigation refers to an index of headers which can be used to jump to points on the capsule.
This refers essentially to creating 2 "tabs" which can be switched between, and an option to open a link in the other slot.
Honestly, most of it at this point. I'll set up a table of what works/fails on the test over the weekend hopefully.

Why only two "tabs" and switching between them when there could be (almost) unlimited tabs like Chrome and Firefox implement? It might be a bit harder to implement but probably a better user experience.

It would be more in line with a regular browser, but that would mean implementing a full tab management system, which, while not too complicate to write, would significantly complicate the UI in a way that seems kind of unnecessary considering that gemini capsules are completely static and loading them takes minimal bandwidth.
