#99tabs
I've got 99 problems and they're all Chrome tabs.
A Chrome extension for tree-style, vertically listed tabs. So when you've got 99 tabs open, Chrome ain't the problem.
Note: this project requires use of the dev tools panel. This requires opening the panel manually on every open tab. No other approach seems feasible.
Failed approaches attempted:
- Injecting a fixed position sidebar widget on every page. Html element is resized to accomodate this element. Problem: Other fixed position elements will interfere with the widget (and vice versa).
- Replacing the entire page with both the sidebar widget and an iframe containing the website. Problem: certain websites block themselves from being contained in iframes (i.e: Facebook).
- Replacing the entire page with both the sidebar widget and an iframe that contains a custom extension page. The extension transmits the html from the parent window into the iframe with the custom extension page. Problem: Parent JS execution cannot be stopped and will often crash. Many websites contain protocol-less URLs, which conflicts with the fact that the custom extension page has a protocol of
chrome-extension://.
##Todo:
View layer:
- Programmatic opening of panel
- Add and style button at bottom to add a new tab
- handle drag and drop (detach and swap)
- handle move events
- filter based on windows
- handle multiple tab select
- Create right-click context menu that mimic's Chrome's menu (maybe somehow use their menu)
- new tab
- reload
- duplicate
- pin tab
- close tab
- close all other tabs
- close tabs to the right (under)
- reopen closed tab
- bookmark all tabs
