I think it may be worth experimenting with having the “close tiddler” toolbar 
button also perform a navigation to the previous tiddler in the history stack; 
the current behaviour feels counter-intuitive after one has clicked on a link. 
The process would stop when the history stack is consumed. Perhaps we’d also 
need a way to clear the history stack, analogous to “close all” in the “Open” 
sidebar tab.

But, I’m also keen to find another way to expose the history list. Having a tab 
called “History” next to “Recent” seems confusing, and highlights that we’ve 
got a fundamental difference of  between “recent” from the readers perspective 
vs. that of the writer.

Mark bought up the stacked view that’s in the prerelease. I had envisaged the 
stacked view as a sort of visual breadcrumbs, functionally very similar to the 
history tab. One of the issues with it is the same as the zoomin story view: 
all navigated tiddlers are open in the story river. Perhaps we can meld all of 
this to update the zoomin story view to show the history list along the same 
lines as the stacked story view, but just rendering the titles, rather than the 
entire tiddler as the stacked view does at present.

Best wishes

Jeremy
