Glance shows a second tab beside the page you're on. In Blanc, right-click any link → Open Link in Glance. The docs or the recipe sits next to what you're doing, not in a tab you keep switching to.

New in Blanc 1.37: tab group colors. Right-click a group's header in the Ctrl+L (⌘L) panel and pick one of eight colors. Its tabs' dots in the Island take the color, so Work and Trip are easy to tell apart.
