There was a time when Satin Web was Tectra’s main focus. However, nowadays, it’s nowhere to be seen. What happened? The origins of Satin Web date back to a year and a half ago. It was the first major Tectra program to be released.  Satin Web got many updates. Over the course of a year, it switched from being based on Internet Explorer to Chromium. It got tabbed browsing. It even received themes. Satin Web was growing up at a rapid pace. It seemed like that it would continue to improve and get updates. However, as we all very well know, this wasn't the case.  Updates for Satin Web slowed down to a stagnant pace. It got buried by newer, more exciting software. Satin Web went as quickly as it came. Why did this happen? It mainly boils down to priorities. The Tectra team started focusing on other things, which caused Satin Web to be mostly forgotten.  What's next?At this point, you are probably thinking that Satin Web is a thing of the past. However, this isn't true. Tectra still has plans for the browser that started everything. Satin Web 13 is currently in the works. While the future of Satin Web might seem uncertain now, it will hopefully improve over the course of the next few months. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed this post. I thought I'd try something different than usual today. If you want to see more posts like this one, let me know! |

As cool as instant photography was, I accepted that it wasn't economically viable for me and moved on. ...Until about a month ago! On one of my first dates with my girlfriend, she introduced me to her Fujifilm Instax Mini 11. It was a much more compact and modern instant camera than my Polaroid. It also used smaller film slides. This was a big deal, as she informed me that the smaller film came at a smaller price. I was intrigued. A couple weeks later, I ventured to Walmart and splurged. I picked up the cheapest Instax they sold: The Mini SE. It only cost about $57, and it came bundled with 10 slides of film. I also picked up an ...
