It just so happens I was thinking about spatial org just yesterday, that it would be so nice if I can have 'villages' of tabs on a (geographical) Map. Amazing co-incidence that I woke up to bonsai browser notification!

You might find The Humane Representation of Thought[1] by Bret Victor[2] useful, where he demonstrates by example, how existing tools/software (generally speaking) doesn't utilize all the 'superpowers' that we acquired via evolution.

Could tap strap[^1] be a viable solution to this? It does have some learning curve but I didn't found it too bad (was able to memorize all alphabets in a weekend). Though being as fast and accurate as keyboard will take some time and effort. With 10mins per day, after 15 days I'm at 28WPM with 98.5% accuracy (they have a training app)

someone compared mobile and web (with data from study) as Web, easier to attract, difficult to retain and vice versa for mobile.

Some people are saying self-hosting content is the way to go. People interested pursuing that way can look into "IPFS". There's lot of tools to make the "hosting" part easy (static websites are easy on bare IPFS it self) Some keywords to search for are DTube, Temporal, Textile. I'm already on way to self-host my data, hope you can get on bandwagon as well.
