I've been playing with a browser called [Arc](https://arc.net) which has challenged a lot of my previous workflows. My main drive to give the browser a try was the addition of spaces and syncing, however I've noticed a feature that I didn't expect: _When you come back to your Arc browser session the next day, any tabs that aren't pinned are automatically "archived" AKA closed._ Ok, it turns out that's not entirely true, from [their documentation](https://resources.arc.net/en/articles/6701333-auto-archive-clean-as-you-go): > In Arc, we Auto Archive idle Unpinned Tabs at the cadence of your choice. > This gives you a fresh start and keeps your sidebar tidy. [...] By default, > idle Unpinned Tabs archive every 12 hours. Viewing or clicking on a tab > will always reset the timer! This has actually turned out to be an _amazing_ change for me, I open so many searches, Stack Overflow tabs, repositories, etc. throughout my day and once I've solved the problem they're no longer needed. There's the meme about "solved a coding problem, time to close 100 tags" but since my life is so scattered I've normally moved off to the next thing before the "close tabs" section of the workflow. One sticking point is that I currently have _a bunch_ of tabs pinned in my **Personal** space that are for me to come back and read later or relate to subjects that will take me a while to really dive into like digital gardening, configuring Yubikeys, a book that I want to buy[^already-bought], and some [cool](https://brr.fyi/) [blogs](https://jaredramsey.com/blog/20230808.html)[^irony]. I need to get better about my burn down workflow in general but I certainly need to start processing and filing these pinned tabs or they're going to overrun me. There's quite a few other features that I'm liking about Arc but will have to write them up another time. I would recommend giving it a try even if it makes you think a little harder about what your browser _could_ be. [^already-bought]: I actually already bought the book, that's how much I need to clean up. [^irony]: How ironic that a blog post about "finish the 1% of your projects" is loitering in my pins section, where it should've been processed and cleaned up.
