Open tabs are cognitive spaces

This is an awesome idea, I just installed and tried it out. A few things jump out at me: if you have fifty tabs open, the first use experience is a little painful--you want to be able to create workspaces and quickly file things away, but it's a very slow process. Opening a workspace pops you into a new view, and it's not immediately obvious what to do from there.

I get that the first use may not be the case you're optimizing for, but it was a bit frustrating.

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 “Workspaces”) - Switch to the window with all your unsorted tabs - Drag and drop the tabs into your workspaces (multi-select coming soon)

Things get much easier once you’re set up. Workspaces are essentially smart browser windows, so you can just open a new (unsaved) window and browse like you normally do. If at any point you decide you want to save the window as a workspace, you simply click on our icon and give it a name.
