Good catch on forward navigation. Architecturally I don't keep a history of already-visited views, so forward has nowhere to go. It's something worth tackling though, especially for programmatic navigation flows. Open in new tab is on my radar too.
Firefox issues are real and I want to fix them. On the "why", fair to be skeptical, it's not for every UI. But I do think it makes sense when hierarchy needs to feel spatial.
Thanks! Ive tried using HA API to get all the information and then parse it and render using this UI, but it was just an experiment. I dindt try using custom cards
Hey! I made Zumly. The idea is offering an alternative to traditional page navigation using zooming. You mark an element as zoomable, point it to a view, and Zumly handles the transition and inserts new views. That's basically it.
I started Zumly in 2020 after leaving behind Zircle UI (a Vue zooming library), trying to take what I learned further. Framework-agnostic, focused just on the zoom part. Since then I've rewritten the engine several times, changed the approach more than once. Only now I'm actually happy with how it feels.
The landing page is built with Zumly itself so you can get the feel before touching any code.
Still rough edges ahead. Would love to hear what you think about the interaction model and if the API makes sense.
