Mozilla Labs: Prospector - Home Dash Description

Prospector experiment to improve search and content discovery in Firefox

This is just the first release of Home Dash, and it starts by removing the standard browser interface to give the web content full priority in the window. It moves the usual browser functionality into a dashboard that sits on top of the page and goes away after you have found what you were looking for. It simplifies some search behavior, so instead of trying to recall if a page is in your history or opened as a tab or somewhere on the web, you can just type what you want into the dashboard, and it lets you search all of those at the same time.

Additionally, Home Dash helps you just browse to (instead of typing to search) the sites you like by finding the top 24 sites and organizing them in a way that matches your browsing behavior. In the near-future, the Prospector team plans to let you customize this area by adding, removing and resizing the sites you want. This area would not be limited to just sites either — in the future you may be placing web apps and widgets and even people that you frequently interact with. With all this information, it would be useful to organize different groups of sites, apps and people into multiple separate dashboards that focus on one idea or task.

So further in the future, if the Prospector team organizes a dashboard of sites, apps and people that are relevant to Prospector development, it would be incredibly useful to someone interested in helping out to add this “Prospector development” dashboard to their Firefox to immediately see what tools the team uses as well as ways to contact and interact with the rest of the team. So instead of searching all of the web for a website or an app, you can now just browse to the relevant information that people are organizing and maintaining.

Additionally, if you feel that the dashboard is missing something, you could start editing your own copy and adding information, and perhaps other people will find it so useful that they will use your dashboard instead of the “official” one. But before that happens, you could also just suggest to the original dashboard maintainer to combine your good ideas with the original, so that everyone benefits.
