A browser extension that replaces your new tab page with history. A collaboration with the Edvo team.

Parallel History shows temporal history on the left, and relational history on the right.

It's an interface experiment where parallel views enable fluid scrolling of a fixed list, and salient surfacing of a dynamic list.

Download web-ext-artifacts/parallel-history-0.0.1.zip, unzip it. Load an unpacked extension in Firefox/Chrome (developer mode may be required).

Requires node, yarn, and Firefox.

Uses React.js, Typescript, web-ext, and Estrella (based on ESBuild).

yarn

yarn start

Firefox should auto-launch in a special live-reloading dev mode.

yarn run build

The built extension will be in the web-ext-artifacts folder.

• Infinite scroll (window'll fill up fast)
• Animations during reordering
• Self-similarity proximity (if two right column entries are related, make them proximate)
• URL Canonicalization
