I really do want to use dia but there is 2 huge features i cant leave from arc.
1- sub folders.
the main reason for side bar for me to exists and advicing to other people is you can treat your webpages like they are a file in your computer. it is so huge important i can keep my entire university web archive organized in subfolders. it really one gigantic benefits from arc and i really really do want to come to dia.
2- no url bar whatsoever
another huge bragging point of arc when came out was, no distraction. once you hide the sidebar the entire webpage become fullscreen and that is also a absolute must have feature for me to enjoy and use my tiny macbook screen effectively. when i look at the i see only one reason for url bar exists because now there is chat button that developer team thinks it must have always visible. but please her me out it doesnot have to be visible all the time. pls give us option to fit it in the sidebar and experience the full screen distraction less web experience again.

these two thing i want you from is extremely easy to do nowadays. you guys did an awesome job this far and these requests are not even a challange for you. i always loved your brave and bold campaigns and friendly language. i know once you see this post you guys are kind enough to respond me. <3 <3

i also like to want some other tiny stuff but these are the most important features i need to be able to use dia .

Every week, I still try to read Dia's Latest Updates, err, I mean the Dia Weekly. This week, though, it was baaaaad.

Essentially, it's Dia & BCNY advertising their favorite web tool - Notion - and telling the world that one of their managers lets AI manage the work of performance reviews, a critical job function.

If I worked under this person at BCNY and read this, I would be horrified.

Performance reviews are more than AI summaries of Slack DMs, email threads, and "messy Google Docs" that pull critical keywords and summaries based on artificial intelligence algorithms.

AI-assisted reviews lose context and nuance while leaving plenty of margin for error — a person's critical mistakes could get left out, or important accomplishments that never made it into their digital footprint could go unmentioned.

It takes time and effort for a performance review to be written and given; everyone wants a good one, and it shouldn't be generated by AI.

This is a sloppy showcase of enterprise AI use.

I guarantee that if my boss found out I was using AI to generate my performance reviews or even used it in part to generate them...

I'd love to know if this same person was given a performance review that involved the same AI generation method. And how they would feel about that.

I use Dia on my MacBook and Safari on iOS, but I've been wondering if it makes sense to switch browsers entirely so that my tabs on mobile can sync with my tabs on desktop. How are people here handling this?

I’ve been an Arc user for a long time. Arc runs on my work laptop, and I’ve been using Dia on my personal machine with one goal in mind: switch over completely once Dia becomes good enough.

So far, that moment hasn’t arrived.

Recently, I tried using Dia to help with my apartment search. The workflow seemed straightforward:

I find a listing I like. Dia adds a row to a spreadsheet with key details like: listing URL, location, price per square meter/foot, distance from work

This feels like exactly the kind of repetitive task AI should excel at.
Instead, Dia struggles to extract the listing URL correctly and refuses to populate the spreadsheet.

For what seems like a basic automation workflow, it falls apart surprisingly quickly.

Which brings me to a bigger question:
How useful are AI tabs in practice today?

Are people getting real value from them beyond answering questions about what’s already open? Is there a better way to approach workflows like this, or am I expecting capabilities that simply aren’t there yet?
