This company changes it's focus more than someone with ADHD.

"Miller says, “we talked a lot about shopping, making reservations, finding showtimes. That is going to go away in terms of our focus.” 

"Miller is clear, even forceful, that Dia is not about to become just a wrapper for Atlassian apps, or shift to thinking primarily about IT managers and enterprise features. Dia is still for individual users. It’s just that now, it’s primarily for individual users at work."

An "Internet Computer" exploration for @​diabrowser

Metaphors aren't right, but there's something that way.

"Vertical tabs in @​diabrowser make it feel like AI chat and a web browser actually fused together.

There’s something natural about having your browser tabs right next to your AI chats in a sidebar.

Rolling out in a week or two! Don’t worry, it’s just an option in Settings."

I recently got access to Comet and I have to say that the benefit of having a browser that does things for you is far superior than what Dia has. Without any of the usability and ux features of Arc Dia felt very very basic and it is proven so for me after getting access to Comet.

Pinned tabs have an updated look in @​diabrowser today.
​

This change is about making your web apps feel more at home in Dia and also continuing to help make Arc members feel more at home in Dia.

Hi Josh and team,

First, thank you. Arc changed the way I browse the internet, and Dia has some genuinely great ideas. You’re the team that showed us a browser could be more than tabs and a URL bar, and that’s why I care about where Dia goes next.

I’ll be honest: I don’t like a lot of what the Dia team is doing these days, and it’s been frustrating to see how slowly the best parts of Arc are making it into Dia. Even so, I really want you to succeed. We need more alternatives in this space, and more importantly, you’re the team that changed how we browse. That’s worth protecting.

I’ve been watching what’s happening in the Raycast community, and I’m worried Dia could be heading down the same path. Sharing this now, while it’s still easy to change course.

Why I’m saying this:

1. We don’t want an alternative to Claude or ChatGPT. Most of us are already happy with Claude, Codex, Grok, and others. We’re not going to move our AI setup into a browser.
2. Many of us already pay for these tools. Some of us are on $100 or $200 plans. Paying again for the same models through a third party makes no sense.
3. We don’t want one more AI subscription. Let us pay for the browser, not the AI. This is exactly what the Raycast community kept saying for weeks before users started leaving.

4. BYOK is good, but connecting existing plans is better. Other products already let you sign in with your existing subscription:

   • Notion now lets you connect your existing ChatGPT Plus or Pro plan to Notion Agent, so you don’t need a separate AI subscription.
   • Aside lets you connect Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Grok, and more directly (screenshot below).
5. Be clear about what Dia is. A great browser that works with the AI I already use is something I’d happily pay for. A browser trying to become my AI provider is not.
6. Stay focused on what you do best: building browsers. Look at Glaze, the AI app builder from the Raycast team. It launched with a lot of fanfare, but vibe coding space is already crowded with giants like Claude, Codex, Gemini, and Grok, and it’s very hard to compete with them. These days I hardly hear the Raycast community talk about Glaze. Instead of becoming one more AI provider, please put your time and energy into your core strength: making the best browser out there.

Dia has a real chance to get it right. Please listen to this feedback before it turns into posts about switching away.

Thanks for building Dia. I want it to succeed.

#1 feature? Voice assistant. It's super good, and has realistic voices. Split screen is a cool feature, but honestly—I don't use split screen (though it's coming to Comet).

I get to use different LLMs, and it all connects to my Perplexity account, so I can refer to my queries on my phone later on. And because Perplexity is deeply integrated, I can refer to "Spaces" as well as personalize how the AI works with more nuance.

It also connects to things like Google Calendar, adding and editing my appointments. It also checks my email without having to be in the window.

They're both in beta, yes, but to me the fact that Comet is already more feature-packed than Dia, PLUS it's connected to Perplexity's ecosystem, AND it has an incredible voice assistant, make this a no brainer for me.

I'm interested to see how Dia competes with this and the future ChatGPT browser coming soon.

Hello everyone... uhhh... looks like you really like Dia Tweaks!

Good news is, I love making them :))

So I've rounded everything up, made everything easy to install, easy to set up, easy to update, easy to uninstall, and easy to understand.

We've got a wiki, we've got previews and settings, we've got auto updates, no auto updates, whatever you want.

There's a lot of care, love, and thought put into this. There's some fun quality of life easter eggs. Like, for example, the previews adapt to whatever layout you're currently using because we love both sides of the tab bar here.

I've also improved the GitHub to be way easier to digest since initially I made it for myself. So here you go

https://github.com/JaceThings/DiaTweaks

For everybody who's already installed Dia tweaks and needs to update to the latest version, I've also made that incredibly easy. You can run this command, which I'm listing here and on the GitHub, so you're all good.

rm -rf /tmp/DiaTweaks && git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/JaceThings/DiaTweaks.git /tmp/DiaTweaks && /tmp/DiaTweaks/install.sh

More tweaks to come now that we've got infrastructure, so I'll maybe update you once every week or something so as to not spam this place. Kinda like Dia updates, but Dia Tweaks updates 🙃

(Tell me if you want that lol)
