Keep routing state when "minimizing" overlay

Open betegon opened this issue 7 months ago • 2 comments

each time i clicked out of spotlight i had to navigate back to the thing [...] we kind of wanna minimize if you will, bring it back to original state, vs "close" - @dcramer

Imo this would be great. I think it has some relation with the ability to develop/debug your product while having spotlight aside, so you are using spotlight "live".

It will be great to see what's going on real time, like logs coming in, spans, etc.

wild idea: make the whole thing resizable and always on top. I've found chatgpt desktop app very useful in a similar context: having something going on and doing your thing while checking responses.

This reminds me of past convos now: is spotlight just better as a desktop app?

yes @betegon, we can think about and try out this idea – it’s almost similar to the Astro toolbar.

and I think this routing issue, at least on web this can be solved with a simple patch. let me raise a PR for that.
