  • @Vlad Let me have a go at this.

    This feature is helpful if there are quick links that we need to refer to and do not wish to create an entirely new tab. The feature is two fold. There is Little Arc and Peek.

    The key difference between both is that Little Arc is a floating window that opens in any screen / window as a link is clicked anywhere on the computer and we then have the option to open it into any of the existing spaces or close it once we are done with (cmd+w).

    And Peek is a pop up window that opens up when a link is clicked on the Arc window (namely the Pinned Tabs) so that we can preview the link contents before deciding to make it a fresh tab within the currently live space in the side bar or just close it right away with (cmd+w)

    In addition to this, there is a feature called ‘Air Traffic Control’, which can filter the clicked url and open them in the respective spaces or pop up windows. Example, I can say, all twitter.com links to open in a pop up window. and I can say, all github.com links to open in my Dev Space and so on.

    Further Features:

    1. Pop-up window: Users will be able to open a pop-up window that floats / hovers over any active screen / window and serves as an auxiliary / minimal browser window to the existing browser as a whole.
    2. Multiple domains: Users can open links different domain names in the pop-up window to access different websites. And they can create custom routes as to where each domain opens (little arc, peek, active tabs, spaces, windows and so on)
    3. Navigation: Users will be able to easily navigate between different domains within the same window. Or choose to open it in any of the existing spaces or ‘permanent’ windows.
    4. Interaction: Users can interact with each website within the same window, including clicking links, filling out forms, and other basic interactions.
    5. Resizing: Users will be able to resize the pop-up window to fit their screen.

    I hope this MVP ask meets your needs. Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything else I can help with!
