Stacks - Ultimate Stackable Web Browser
Pinch from the corners of a window to resize it
Description
Stacks is a revolutionary SwiftUI-based web browser that reimagines how we interact with multiple web pages. Unlike traditional browsers with static tabs, Stacks presents each webpage as an independent, floating window that can be freely moved, resized, and stacked in three-dimensional space.
Core Innovation
The browser treats each tab as a draggable, resizable window that exists in a shared workspace. Users can organize their browsing experience spatially - stacking related pages, spreading out research materials, or creating custom layouts that match their workflow.
