I haven't tried it yet so please excuse if this has been answered - but this sounds just like I use several browsers, being logged in to different accounts. And also why I don't like webapps as much (lack of alt-tab and separation).
But I have a pressing question: How does it handle opening links in new tabs? Imagine me going through a pinned TweetDeck and looking at all the links? It's hard to describe, but if I "break out" a webapp via chrome for example, I either get a lot of windows or all the tabs in the wrong window. How are people using this? will I have all e.g. articles on random websites inside Station or in my default browser?
If I understand what you mean correctly, you are concerned about how we handle links that are not from an app (articles or anything that does not belong to an app we support). It's a big question for us we are still discussing. Ultimately I think we will want to handle links so you are not constantly sent back to the browser if all you want to do is just quickly read an article from a link you clicked. The question remains on whether we also want to handle full-on navigation.
You can divide navigation in two categories:
1. quick read you won't access again
2. longer term navigation including articles or pages you wish to read again later
For case n.1 I think we should definitely handle it (the same way when you click a link on a mobile app you are usually sent to a provisory browser and can later decide to open it in your default browser)
For case n.2 there are still discussions on whether we should leave this to the default web browser, integrate an existing web browser inside Station to handle all external links or build our own within Station.
Yes, thanks. Meanwhile I could think of a good example.
Someone shares a Google+ post via Twitter. Right now I have TweetDeck in my normal chrome instance where I am not logged in to Google (for reasons).
So everytime I click this link I have to copy/paste the link from the newly opened tab into Firefox, where I am logged in to Google.
And yes, this is a homemade problem, I should just be reading RSS feeds, but some people seem to prefer G+ and so I get no RSS feed :(
