Ask HN: Most people find browser tabs confusing?
I made a visual database app and one thing a lot of my users find frustrating is that each table opens up in it's own tab. They say things like they don't know how to go back to where they opened the table from (and would do things like hit the back button on a freshly opened tab). Some were lost when I would ask them to do things like "close the current tab". And so on.
Browser tabs are so much more versatile than re-implemented tabbing within my app and I figured that since many people use Google Sheets/Docs/etc which also does this, then a tab per document/table/whatever would be familiar. Maybe I'm wrong. What does HN think?
