I've 'shown' this a few times before but with minimal response, so I'm still looking for good feedback from the HN community. And since I seem to be asymptotically approaching the monetized 1.0 version I thought I'd try again. BrainTool is a private- and local-first Chromium (no FF RN) extension that makes it easy to save tabs into a nested 'topic' hierarchy along with a note, and then use those topics to control the browser, opening and closing tabs as a group. Plain text file (org mode) data storage, full keyboard support with search, TODO's and more. I just added local file syncing and some UX upgrades. Thoughts?

I suspect it being Chrome only is one of the reasons you receive minimal responses here. At least, for me -- I only have FF installed, so I can't test for you. I imagine a lot of the HN user base is similar, due to FF's target demographic.

  Interesting theory! I have seen previous replies on here saying non-FF is a deal killer. But any numbers I see show FF < 5% marketshare on desktop browsers, so I can't imagine there's more than maybe a quarter of HN readers on FF-only. Thus far my time is better spent elsewhere but the code is open source and a couple of people have expressed interest in trying a port.
