Browser Tour

Research beside your work, not instead of it. A Browser tab is a real web browser that lives inside Circuitry — open documentation next to your canvas, keep a reference article one tab away from the workflow it informs, compare a live site against the page you're building. The web page and the thing you're making sit in the same studio, so you stop alt-tabbing between an idea and its source.

That matters because the rest of Circuitry is right there. Read an API's docs in a Browser tab, then hand the task to the coding agent in the next tab — no screenshots, no copy-paste relay between separate apps.

A browser tab

A tour of the controls

Everything lives in a single navigation bar at the top of the tab:

  • Go back — steps back through this tab's history; dimmed when there's nowhere to go back to.
  • Go forward — steps forward again; dimmed when there's no forward history.
  • Reload — reloads the current page; the icon spins while the page loads.
  • Home — returns to the home page.
  • Address bar — type a URL or anything else and press : web addresses navigate directly (https is added for you), and anything that isn't an address runs as a web search.
  • Cancel — appears while you're editing the address; reverts the bar to the page you're actually on.

While a page loads, a small Loading… indicator appears in the top-right corner of the viewport.

Full-fidelity browsing in the desktop app

Some sites decline to render inside an embedded web view — that's a restriction those sites place on being framed, and you'll see it occasionally when browsing in the web version of Circuitry. In the Circuitry desktop app the Browser tab is a full native web view, so every site loads exactly as it would in a standalone browser.
