Save as
- I put Scrapbox and Devin side by side, and there was a gap on the right, so I put YouTube for now.
- Or put something in the bottom half of YouTube.
- After I did it, I thought that YouTube is not tightly coupled with the work content, so there is no need to bundle it with this system...
- Ability to save browser tab openings at any size

- Put Devin's work-in-progress summary in private Scrapbox
- But then you'd want to open Devin's SESSION from the link there.
- What's wrong with this in the first place is that it's not obvious what the project is.
- Replacing it with webtiling does not change the situation of not knowing which is which, in fact it makes it worse.
- Would you rather have the browser placement in microformat in Scrapbox, and with one click, multiple tabs are restored with the placement included?
- Is "webtiling" a premature abstraction for a generic term?
Vivaldi has a tab tiling function, but when I tried to use it on XREAL One, I couldn't customize it much. - Wide monitor support with Tab Tiling in Vivaldi
XREAL One's landscape widescreen is 3840 × 1080 pixels
- If you make it 1/3, the center is just right for viewing Cosense, and it's too narrow for doing something with a sidebar like Devin.
- In the first place, the center is the main work area and the sides are sub areas, so they should be smaller.
- You can drag and change it, for one thing.
- When you want to play YouTube on a small screen, just dividing the columns creates wasted space.
- I wonder if it would be possible to split the columns further up and down only on the sides...
You can get by with multiple Chrome Window and arrange them in any size you want.
- But it's interpreted as a separate app in the first place, so it's messed up and returned to the desktop when XREAL is deactivated.
I casually tossed it to Devin at Devin credit used up 4/26 and it was easy.
Electron+BrowserView now has a tool to display multiple web pages with arbitrary tiling()

- Surprisingly, it's working fine.

- I did a Google login to get into Scrapbox.
- It's an unknown application and requires two-factor authentication, that's it.
- I thought it would be a hassle every time, but the next time I booted up with no problem, I got up logged in.
- Could it possibly be used for the purpose of having AI read sites that require authentication?
- I'll ask Devin to take care of the details I noticed.
