Simple Browser is cool! Flares also have the advantage that you can open them in a side panel view. At least a singleton.

Wow, thanks for dropping by! I couldn't quite figure that out. I added the key and value `:sidebar-panel true` to my example in [brettrowberry.com/calva-flares](https://brettrowberry.com/calva-flares) and didn't notice a change in behavior.

Maybe you forgot the `?` in `: :sidebar-panel`?
