   Glad you like the concept. You're correct that we don't attempt to do account isolation as that isn't the purpose of our workspaces. Our workspaces are meant to be used at the project/meeting/workflow level, not at

   It depends. If you are just opening the workspace for the first time, then we will just be loading up the URLs. We do preserve tab state (form data, page scrolled, text selected, etc.) when you switch between workspaces that are already ope

   You should check out Workona's workspaces. We've built some of what you've mentioned as a Chrome extension backed by a web app. Our workspaces (persistent windows with names) remember your tabs automatically, are multiuser&#x

    Glad you like it! You’re right that onboarding can be tough for users with lots of tabs. We're working on a few things that will make it easier. The intended initial set up flow is: - Create a workspace (+ button next to the word “Work

    Thanks! Our founding team is very privacy-conscious ourselves and certainly understand your concerns in light of the recent news. Right now the extension stores all your data locally (hence uninstall resulting in loss of workspaces). We’re

    We couldn't agree more, Michail. So much so that we founded a company (Workona Inc.) and built pretty much exactly what you've described. Workona's extension turns your browser windows into "smart windows" (workspac
