The design craft is spectacular.

Not having spaces for different logins is unfortunately a deal breaker for me - it’s the thing that brought me to Arc in the first place.

Spaces and different logins are not the same thing.

Using different logins was provided by the Profiles feature, and it's available in Dia too.

I love it so far!!

2 Features from Arc I would need and love in Dia:

1. Hiding all the distractions with Command + S -> Like in Arc, where a little animation pushes everything out of sight and just the webpage is in focus.

2. With Command T not immediately creating a new tab, I used it instead in Arc to quickly move around open tabs. Quickly typing in two letters from an open tab and instantly switching to that is one of the best features I have ever seen in a browser, especially if you have a lot of tabs open.

Please add these (for me) two core features of Arc, and I will use it as my daily driver. :)

I am very excited about Dias future!

And by the way, the onboarding was spectacular! My girlfriend and I were stunned when we saw it for the first time.

I wish you luck, and you're obviously a very thoughtful company. I have to say, though, that I clicked on and watched all four short videos in this post, and have zero idea what they're explaining. Sorry.

I really, really want to like Dia, but as an Arc user, I just don't think it's going to happen...at least not right now. Everything you're producing in Dia is great...definitely the way to go, but I can't see past losing those excellent features of Arc. Side tabs, Air Traffic Control, all Spaces in a single instance with quick switching of Spaces etc. I note that you'll be adding these at some point in the future, but without them for me Dia is just somewhere to occasionally play rather than use as my daily browser. I get what you're doing with appealing to mass market, and I fully support that, but for me until those previous Arc innovations exist in some form in Dia, then it's not for me. I do use Easels on Arc, but I could manage without and put the content in another app if needed - it's not really core to what makes Arc such a good fit for me. Oh, and Dia for iOS, iPadOS would be a must. Sharing spaces, pinning tabs from mobile etc....this was what finally enabled me to ditch Chrome on those devices and fully adopt Arc.

I really really really REALLY wish you’d stop linking to Twitter. It’s all I can do to not think you’re blithely enabling fascism by supporting that awful site.

First, I love Arc and will probably miss it.

But there's one thing that could be super interesting. Does Dia have access to the information in developer mode? I could see something really powerful like "find where XXX is defined in tab @'s developer mode."

Why Mac first? The Universe uses Windows OS, and Chrome or Edge browser. So Dia needs to be 'order of magnitude' better than the browsers everyone uses.
