Problem It’s very hard to work with data in Fibery, since you have only single open entity/view in the main area. It leads to the following problems: Loss of context when you open entities in collections or references. You have to remember where you’ve been. High cognitive load for all side-action…

Might coloured headers be a configurable thing? The use of colour is quite strong but also does help to anchor what entity type is being viewed. Appreciate this may add complexity though…

the colored labels on top are enough for me to differentiate Screenshot on 2022-01-06 at 17:27:42.png - Droplr The colored headers was too much for me liking

I agree with that. I both like the way it looks now, and find it visually useful without being distracting. [image] A problem I had with coloured text sometimes was the readability of it. The current design allows for easy reading of the labels and scanning using the coloured boxes.

I have been using the multi-panel layout and really find it amazing :star_struck: So thanks for prioritizing this and making it available as an experimental feature. I am not sure if this is the best place to offer improvement suggestions (please let me know if I should create separate feature requ…

[image] cannibalflea: A button to open an entity view in a brand new browser tab. While the multi-panel is very helpful in keeping tabs to a minimum, there is sometimes a need to undock and open an entity in its own tab. I had assumed Middle-Click or at least Ctrl-Click would allow this, but …

Thanks for pointing out the ctrl+click option. I use that quite often for clicking on inline entities. What I was thinking is that sometimes you have an entity view open and you realize it would be better to open it separately. I thought adding another button to the top row might be the easiest way…

[image] cannibalflea: What I was thinking is that sometimes you have an entity view open and you realize it would be better to open it separately. I thought adding another button to the top row might be the easiest way of ‘undocking’ the entity view from the current tab: Interesting, but to c…

[image] Oshyan: Interesting, but to clarify, did you intend this button to literally open the currently open Entity in a new browser tab ? If so, what happens to the open entity in the original tab? Does it auto-close? Yes, that is what I was thinking. I’m not sure if it is useful to others b…

Getting that advanced starts to become more the realm of an Electron-based desktop app IMO. Where you could have Fibery running as a dedicated, installable app ( not a PWA ), and it could have multiple windows that you could perhaps flexibly rearrange, split views, etc. Sounds like a lot of work thoug…
