I downloaded it, connected a bunch of apps I use (Twitter, Google Drive, Gmail, Messenger, Slack) and played around. Sincere question: what's the benefit of using my apps this way?

It seems like it just puts each webpage in a different tab and lets me put the tabs side by side. How is this paradigmatically different from my browser, aside from removing a bunch of browser features? Is it organization? Why do my apps need to be organized? Why is this better than workspaces? Is it because workspaces are too janky? (I hate the sliding animation on macOS.)

Initially I thought Stack was a productivity tool, with keyboard shortcuts, quick search/jump, etc. The only thing I've found is ⌘+1/2/3/4, and 1Password integration doesn't work anymore. And what do I do if I need to use ⌘+1/2/3/4 to navigate an inner app connected to Stack?

Put another way, what is the vision here that I'm failing to understand?
