What’s a tab if not an ugly magazine with a bad table of contents?

It’s not glossy and it’s hard to navigate.

People say tab design is our future? I hope we fix its shortcomings before we adopt it.

I’ll admit I enjoy the shape. If I could only find my way around it. How do I find a section in the middle of it? Where are the big display pages with impact?

I hope jumps don’t have me jumping around the section, but only to the next page. Otherwise, I would never find my way back.

With this design, it should be browsed from start to finish. Items in the middle are truly buried.

I’m just not sold on it.
