I'm using the apple-touch-icon that many sites provide for the icon on the left.
There's a time line scrubber on the right side as-in Time Machine or Facebook's Timeline. This widget is super awesome for navigating through time. Especially because it works so seamlessly with scrolling.
I've added grouping, so when you've visited sub-pages of a domain those show up in a group.
You'll notice a "Clear..." button in the top left corner. This would produce a popover that would allow you to clear all of your history or just certain segments like "Last hour" or maybe even specific time segments like "March 5th - March 20th"
How would the icons be 'found?' Will it be using favicons, or will it have another way? Most favicons are in a lower resolution than say the ones you displayed here.
These icons were actually created using the apple-touch-icon found in the root directory of many websites. You can for example go to [link] to get the icon for Facebook. Then we just apply a mask to make it look nice
When you build a website, you add a piece to your code that is the "<title> </title>". So we just use that. It's the same way we also set the Window title or Bookmarks to the page name.
Right, but that's the _page_ title. Facebook's homepage's title is "Welcome to Facebook - Login." You'd have to do some logic to extract the site name, "Facebook," I'd think. And every site is different.
