4 years ago Thanks for the feedback and ideas. I'll keep these in mind for post nightTab 4.0.0 release. But some quick thoughts on the points listed above:
- Not sure links are allowed to open in the background in modern browsers for security reasons. I'll look into it.
- The links in nightTab use CSS grid, which is pushed to the limits to be fluid and responsive (the
minmax(...)part is what does the magic). The width is not really set with a fixed number, but rather based on available viewport and container size. I've experimented a lot with making the size of the links editable by the end user. However making sure the grid is responsive is a greater requirement. I'll continue to look into this but don't hold your breath. Height on the other hand seems more likely to be possible. Since the Block and List style are hard numbers, it may be possible to allow users to edit them. - A good idea. One I've though a lot about, This may be the next big feature I work on after 4.0.0 is released. I feel this may work as "folders" rather than pages. But who knows.
- Haha, I'll see what I can do. But Font Awesome ultimately hold all the cards here.
Cheers, I appreciate you taking the time to feedback.
Couple of ideas based on past experience with different browsers. Read it or not, consider it or ignore it, whatever you like :)
Option to open tiles in new tabs in background with left mouse button. It's a bit tirying having to go back to new tab page every time you open a page or to right-click and choose option from context menu. And clicking in tiles with scroll button is super uncomfortable.
Option to change tile ratio. Right now we can edit their size (and width to some point I guess), but not the height itself. If I had a choice, I would aim more into 16:9 tiles to fit more on them on screen without scrolling down.
Multiple pages inside new tab. My favourite speed dial of all time is the one from Maxthon 4.9. There you could add more pages to your new tab, give them names (kind of like the groups you're working at) and scroll them horizontally (or choose them by clicking of course). This was super useful together with opening tiles in background, because it reduced number of necessary mouse clicks to absolute minimum, with which you could open handful bunch of sites in seconds. And multiple pages felt more tidy and less clustered than on page with vertical groups.

Just some ideas to think about. Have a nice day!
