In the cloud app, switching from one conversation to the other is not 100% trivial • there's a 0.5 second lag when loading a conversation • when working with multiple conversations I need to remember which convo is which by name Personally I'd love to be able to organize my convos by tabs and be able to decide which is the first tab second tab third tab... and have a tab immediately ready when I click on it
A simple solution is opening a few tabs in Chrome for each openhands convo... But it would be nice to have this UX in the app itself

You mean that when loading another conversation, there is a delay until it clears the previous conversation?
s
after a click on another conversation, there's a delay where the conversation is initially empty then it fills up then the page automatically scrolls down to the bottom of the conversation

Love the idea of tabs - I think this could be really intuitive! Copying @breezy-kilobyte-39430 for his thoughts as well.

First question: can this be achieved using the left conversation list?

Is your question: what's the difference between switchings convos with tabs vs left conversation list?

Sorta, it’s whether we can have fast switching for active conversations

Yes you can switch with that list but 1. first you need to click on the left tab to make that list appear 2. then what you see is conv names. I've been clicking on the wrong conversations a lot. I struggle to understand which conv name is which. Whereas having 3 tabs is clearer: left middle right. 3. then after clicking the conv takes 0.5s-1s to load (but that's more a backend thing I guess)

Maybe for starters, we can support the concept of pinning up to N conversations, and these pinned conversations will appear at the top.

We may be able to support this, but I anticipate it will be complex-ish. For recently opened conversations, have them "active" too to allow for easier switching
