For the browser, each open tab should be saved, whereas for the webapp container there’s only one webview to handle. A naive solution is to persist the URL of each open tab, and upon restore instantiate a webview and set its url property. However this won’t restore the corresponding navigation history, nor the current scroll offset or form data. To implement this properly, we need to add an API in oxide that will allow reading the current state of a webview as an opaque blob, and writing the initial state at construction time. The API would look like this: property string initialState (writable during construction only) function getCurrentState() (see the full discussion at https://lists.launchpad.net/oxide/msg00037.html).
