Recently I saw a nice mockup about a bookmark managing interface that is actually a "web site", like about:epiphany I mean.

Hard thing is still creating the thumbnails, but in this case they can be put on ~/.thumbnails as everyone does. :) _______________________________________________ epiphany-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/epiphany-list
