Make bookmark and history management look nicer

[ghost]

As Chromium has truly ugly bookmark management and history, i would appreciate it if you would make both parts look more nicer and add more functionality so that it is not that bare bone style.

Being worked on. The detail is on the issue, whose number I cannot remember. Maybe @bradleyrichter could.

Good to see that some of my suggestions are considered as useful :D As power user i care of course for tons of customization features and a bit for design too :D

Happy to report that this issue is being worked on right now 😄

Here's what's currently in master- a bare bones history screen:

You can right click to delete entries or open them in a new tab. You can also double click entries to open them.

I'm currently adding search and then I'm also trying to organize the entries by date (along with some style updates). Suggestions or mockups are extremely welcome 😄

and here's where we're at now:

@bradleyrichter (and anyone reading this too) let me know what you think 😄

I grabbed styles from Preferences because I wanted it to look "Brave-esque", rather than the mild black text on white background. I put some sample buttons there similar to Chrome, wiring them up wouldn't be too hard (including checkboxes for deleting individual items). We could also put some options above the buttons

One thing not shown is search. I am going to implement a search, similar to the bookmarks manager page. This would be on the same line as the "History" title.

@bsclifton Looks really good. Making urls align in a column would make it look even more polished like a tabular items something similar to this (personal preference)

The grouping should be pretty easily accomplished by using something like:
http://underscorejs.org/#groupBy

I think ledger introduced the dependency so you can use it. Or else just copy the impl and modify slightly.

@bbondy does underscore.js have advantages over Array.reduce? Here's a link to the code I put together, it's fairly clean:

ah sorry I didn't realize you had it done already, your way is fine.

Here's a screencap of the proposed look, courtesy of @bradleyrichter! Going to start molding the screen to look more like this...

Starting to get there... here's where I'm at currently:

NOTE: context menu is broken at the moment; will have to add generic functionality for that to sortableTable
