1. # Sidebar

   Tabs, Bookmarks, and History had a baby

   In a world full of complex interfaces and ephemeral tabs, I present Horse. A browser designed for those who yearn for simplicity and directness, for those who find multi-tab browsing overwhelming and their outdated bookmarks meaningless.

   Horse doesn't dictate a workflow. It doesn't come with complex features or hidden menus. It's a blank canvas, a tab notebook, a place to store your digital life. It's a browser that's designed to be as simple and straightforward as possible.

2. # Trails

   Act first, think later

   Horse opens a new tab for every link click, creating trails of thought. You can collapse the trails and get back to them later, allowing a minimum amount of effortless tab management. (And don't worry; you can turn it off for web apps, or entirely.)

   With Horse, every tab is always in sight, offering a structure that supports context switching. There's no need to close tabs prematurely; they won't get in your way. You can transition from one task to another without ever worrying about forgetting where you left off. Everything is just there, waiting for you.

   Are you constantly searching for websites you frequently need but just can't remember? Are you someone who ends up with countless open browser windows only to forget about most of them? Horse is for you. With Horse, you're never out of sight and you never forget; there's nothing to manage.

3. # Focus

   Emergent Design

   While Horse might not have a sleek and minimalist look, with continued use, Horse feels much more minimalist. It provides an experience that's as straightforward as it gets. Yes, it might look messy, but life is messy sometimes, and so are our digital worlds. With Horse, it's about embracing that chaos and transforming it into productive power.

   Horse is also versatile. Some users have found it a fantastic tool to manage their to-do lists or store notes. Horse can become your all-in-one digital hub, simplifying your life in a new, engaging way.

   Power lies in simplicity, but simplicity isn't always about clean lines and hidden menus. It's about ease of use and accessibility. Horse is the simplest browser to use, even if it isn't the simplest to look at.

4. # Configuration

   Cowboys and Ninjas

   Our default design isn't for everyone. If you're perfectly comfortable with your sleek, high-tech browser and have no problem managing dozens of hidden tabs and bookmarks, then Horse might not be your first choice. But for those who struggle with such interfaces, Horse offers an approach that focuses on visibility, accessibility, and ease.

   Remember, you can always disable trails to customize your Horse experience to your preferences. If you're the type to carefully think before you act, and have a well-managed digital life already, you can configure Horse to get out of your way.

Horse is a work in progress. I'm building it in public, and I'm sharing my progress on Twitter. If you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback, feel free to reach out!

Horse is making the web sensible again. I've got a few very happy riders, and I'm looking for more in order to fund development.

There are no investors, and I'm not looking to make a fortune; I'm just trying to make the internet less overwhelming.
