Show HN: Tabtation – A Chrome Extension to Manage Your 'Too Many Tabs Syndrome'
Hey there, HN!
My name is Rishit, and this is my first post here on HN.
Let me start off by asking you a question.
How many tabs do you have open in Chrome right now?
If you said less than five or ten: Congratulations, you’re not suffering from the dreaded 'Too Many Tabs Syndrome' (TMTS). Well, most probably! We all grow and start from zero.
What?! Say that again. Did I hear you correctly? 25? 50? 100? Maybe even more? Or you’re just too lazy like me and said ‘too many’ since you can’t count them on your fingers? Woah! Now we’re talking! Yeah, yeah, I know, we’re in HN land after all, so I may be over-hyping this.
But seriously though, you must have landed up in situations where the tab widths are so small, you can’t make sense of anything. So, what do you do? You start opening new windows. Wonderful. Few hours of work, and yup, you end up with the same thing again. Windows are nice. But a lot of them (with a lot of tabs) sucks even more. I just went through all of my five windows and all their tabs, and still can’t seem to find that one tab! Jeez. ️
So, I may have something that would be right up your alley, and help you manage your TMTS; Well, it certainly helps me with mine, so I’m stoked to find out if it does the same for y’all.
I’ve just launched Tabtation on the Chrome Web Store!
(https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabtation/hdidaidpgcmfbkhcfhdpaehpfeilhfcb https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabtation/hdidaidp...)
I’m offering a 7-day free trial, so give it a try and do let me know what you think! I’d love to hear your questions, thoughts, or feedback, and work on them to improve Tabtation so that we can all be more productive in the coming months. ️
BTW, Tabtation is also on Product Hunt today (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/tabtation https://www.producthunt.com/posts/tabtation). Yup, a lot of firsts for me today!
Cheers!
- qnsi 7y agoI will stick with workona
- RishitKedia 7y agoAh, that's perfectly okay! Is there anything in particular that you dislike or find missing in Tabtation, or love in Workona? Would love to hear your feedback!
- samanator 7y agoIt's free?
- RishitKedia 7y agoAs of now, nope, it's not. You can try it for free for 7 days, and then you have to buy it. Hope that helps!
- RishitKedia 7y agoOh, were you referring to the fact that Workona is free which is what you love about it? If so, Workona and Tabtation are two different things anyway, so IMHO it's just a matter of taste and how you like to go about your workflow in Chrome.
- samanator 7y agoWow! Thanks for the tip. I've been using it every day at work since you posted this. Makes it much easier to compartmentalize things.
- qnsi 7y agoThat's why I posted about Workona, wanted people interested to know about good alternative. I am glad you enjoy it as well as I
- Jefro118 7y agoI've used Workona which I like but it seemed to be slowing down my browser and so I uninstalled it (although I haven't tested this carefully). Is Tabtation any more performant?
- RishitKedia 7y agoHey there! Workona and Tabtation are trying to solve the same problem differently. Tabtation is just a bar at the bottom that loads on every tab, and groups/organizes your tabs based on the domain, for handy access to all your open tabs. From the very little that I've seen, Workona solves the problem a little differently by introducing Workspaces and opening/closing tabs each time depending on the Workspace you select. I'd love that you try Tabtation and see the difference. Hope that helps!
