Grasshopper (tab manager extension for Firefox)

I'm currently working on it, and I use it myself for all tab management.

I use it in all my firefox profiles since it can be used as a sidebar and as a popup for smaller windows.

I've been seeing "generated by copilot" pull requests on github lately.
Re:Ask HN: What web frameworks do you use? on Monday September 11, 2023 @04:30PM (#37473236)
None. I write my own frontend, backend, db engine, libraries. Not completely of course, like I would still rely on Express and other heavy lifting when doing a node backend. If I need some special feature in the frontend I hunt for a library I can easily copy to my libs/ directory, but half the libraries that are used I wrote myself.

Sort Tabs has been added as a tabs action (Top right menu). Or as a command.

Wrap Text is now a setting. Defaults to false.

For further ideas you can use the github repo... thanks

Could just be an about:config flag, that would be better than having to apply userChrome.css on every profile where you need it.

>I already enabled URL display so it already is two-line effectively but I feel like probably making both parts (the title and the URL) two-line each.

So apart from having URL + Title shown at the same time, I take it you mean to reserve two lines for those to have some room to wrap? I'll add a note to try it as a setting.

Main menu is the top left button inside the extension. In that menu you can enter Settings. Then in settings you can click the category to see a list of other categories, or use the arrows.

Already added to my notes. I'll likely implement it. Make it pin+normal tab aware even, like only sort normal, pins, or both.

Yes the theme is very customizable, check the Settings. There's also commands you can use if you double tap Ctrl twice. You can open the command palette and select Light Theme.

Grasshoppers are cool. And a platform has been created to add more features if they make sense. It already can do a bunch of stuff, I advice you to give it a try.

>Is this manager advanced enough to replicate Vivaldi's tab tiling and stacking functionality?

No, but it can do a bunch of stuff, which you can try.

>also not sure why the screenshots devote 80% of space to non-addon functionality like page with some distracting chip images and colored tables

Was easier to take screenshots like this. But maybe I'll try cropping next time. I guess the idea was to show how it looks as a sidebar, or as a popup.

There's a link to the github in the store.

In grasshopper you can organize through tags, and colors, which create profiles mapped to urls, so they also apply for instance if you are in History view. The profile can be set to match the root, or the exact url. You can also filter different kinds of tabs, like unloaded, or playing. There's also a button that appears when a tab is playing, to go back to that tab (focus it).

In grasshopper you can filter by domain, but also can add tags, and colors, to any tab, and filter through this. There's a profile editor accessible when you right click the items.
This is powerful though I don't use it much yet https://github.com/Canop/broot

Yeah, the debate was fun. The thought I had myself was the chance that AGI turns out to lack the traits of humans we fear. And instead of being this ambitious adversary it ends up being our best friend, our protector, similar to how we take care of (some) of the other animals in the planet.
Re:Don't Be Clever on Thursday August 03, 2023 @11:25AM (#36987184)
I disagree. You could have done a better system. I think it's a must to be "clever" regarding code, especially if the repetition is huge.
I think I just know what the thing is going to be about. I just need to read a headline. If I think there's more to it I force myself to read a bit. Something that comes with repeating patterns over and over again for decades.
That Orion website has 0 javascript files. That's a good sign.
Re:Todo apps are meant for robots on Sunday July 16, 2023 @09:06AM (#36746572)
I use a very simple todo list.

https://madprops.github.io/Hoff/

When I need to perform a task in the immediate future (now or a couple of minutes/hours from now) I add a line. When I finish it I tick it and it goes away. I don't need more.

I also use this when I'm about to sleep but got enough motivation to stand up and write a task to fix/try tomorrow.

And also works for notes when you need to paste/jot something immediately.
