Omar Rizwan

This looks brilliant, thanks for the recommendation. https://omar.website/tabfs/

If you're looking for more concrete details on what it's actually like to make things at Dynamicland, I recommend this writeup by Omar Rizwan. (from 2018, so doesn't reflect recent progress, but it's still helpful for getting a feel for the place): https://omar.website/posts/notes-from-dynamicland-geokit/ I also wrote a short explanation of some little experiments I did there when I visited a couple years ago: https://www.geoffreylitt.com/projects/dynamicland.html

There are some dueling abstractions, yes! There was a good write-up from Anil Dash that picked up one of my favorite pieces of the recent TabFS write-up[1][2], _Keeping Tabs on Abstractions[3],_ noting that the browser & OS are each running competing abstractions for tabs. The application's invention of the Multi Document Interface (MDI) has done weird things! And I feel like most consumer OSes have done little to try to unify or provide options in the OS level, to take back territory. I as quite happy & pleased when Google's Chrome on Android had tabs each appear as tabs in the OS. I have too many tabs, but I enjoyed that it was up to my launcher, up to my os to help me work with that. It gave me flexibility & options to approach the problem. Where-as, when Chrome went back to managing tabs itself, it's both been a disaster for me (new tab window shows me the start of my tabs, which has some years old tabs i only need occasionally), and a sadness, a defeat, that the OS can no longer manage this thing. > I do see the point of reattaching to shell sessions or attaching from multiple devices. I've recommended dtach[4] elsewhere[5] in this topic & here-by recommend it again! Very lightweight detachable proxy for persistent programs. I run vim inside of it, so I can attach/detach. Vim has terminals inside of it, so that's all I needed. [1] https://omar.website/tabfs/ [2] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25600338 [3]…

Yes. Though not in the traditional way that we think of "pipe" working. A good example of this was the "zoom lens" in Omar Rizwan's Geokit: https://omar.website/posts/notes-from-dynamicland-geokit/

You can look at the code of a substantial project in text, as well as in action, here. https://omar.website/posts/notes-from-dynamicland-geokit/

Reminds me of Omar Rizwan's TabFS <https://omar.website/tabfs/>

Both seem to have worked at/with Dynamicland previously, though not mentioned on this site. https://omar.website/posts/notes-from-dynamicland-geokit/ https://cwervo.com/projects/dynamicland-experiments/

It may not be exactly what you have in mind but there is an interesting extension along similar lines (mostly for chrome) called TabFS that mounts your open tabs as a filesystem... https://omar.website/tabfs/

What is the tool used in the example where they select files and then delete them? https://omar.website/tabfs/doc/delete.mp4 Ah, I see now. It is called "dired". I wonder if it can be used standalone, without emacs.

It took some digging, but I found some bits! https://omar.website/posts/notes-from-dynamicland-geokit/#background-o…
