One thing AI is good for is being able to quickly, very quickly, prototype experiments, and scratch those itches that otherwise would fester as an idea until I thought over it in my head over and over and over until I was convinced it was going to be the greatest thing ever.
One such idea is the ability to navigate the web using an infinite canvas. I wondered how useful it would be to have multiple browser windows in a single view, and be able to easily zoom/pan around a collection of browser tabs. So I set out to spend as little effort building a prototype to get a feel for what that might look like.
After playing around with this, I actually quite like it! Am I going to push on with it and build a browser, almost certainly not. But maybe someone else might be interested in running with this idea?
