Pushing and popping

- Idea for a self-help book, or maybe chapter of a more general one on Debugging Yourself
- being familiar with cs concepts and applying it to situations is a bit of a minor superpower, something that can be learned....
- Assume familiarity of the concept of a stack and its operation, if not...
- I guess everyone knows about back buttons, which essentially perform a pop. Everything else does a push.
- It's weird that this universal UI doesn't support branching and exploration like, at all. Why is there no tree-like record of your explorations that you can re-navigate (there are tools that do this for web browsing, but its a more general concept).
- Yeah OK, I want this: a zero-impact plugin that just tracks the tree structure of my web browsing and will show it to me (and let me go back in it obviously). Surely this must exist.
- Weird, can't find anything, here's a random Masters Thesis that looks relevant HistoryLane: Web Browser History Visualization Method
- I would think there are dozens of these though, such an obvious thing.
- Ah here we go Visual History - Chrome Web Store
