I have found out that lots of people from other non-technical areas also have the "too many tabs opened" problem. We are working on a solution for that except for the soldiers part =) The idea is that you can keep your browser synced (one or many browsers) and move tabs for later, search them, archive them, restore them and soon also share them. Take a look at http://listboard.it if you are interested.


I just signed up. I've been using and abusing multiple windows and then tabs in Opera's MDI interface since the modem days, when it was nice to have a few pages loading up and come back to them fully loaded instead of waiting for each one.

I'd love to have something indexing and closing old tabs for me in the background instead of manually managing them. Heuristics like 'this tab or any pages on this domain haven't been visited in a week, index the page and close the tab'. At times I use tabs as reminders, perhaps adding some intelligence like "This Kickstarter is expiring in 3 days and hasn't been viewed in a week, you still interested?" might be nice. Any tab with future dates approaching might be worth alerting people to. A summary page might be nice with the last closed tabs, the upcoming dates tabs mentioned above. Pinboard or the like integration would be pretty awesome, that is primarily how I'm managing tabs now.

The more I think about this the more excited I get. Of course the tough part is satisfying each of us who have their own reasons and their own process for managing multiple tabs.


That looks really nice. I wonder if you could integrate this with firefox's tab groups[1] I use them to manage things all the time.

Interesting proposal, we do not have it integrated but we will evaluate the idea.


The problem is a lot of people now research on things. Like Price Research. They tend to open a dozen of tabs to look through things. I think this is a problem that needs to be looked at.

I have been thinking of something that combined Bookmark, History and Open Tabs.


oh, interesting, so I'm not the only one! I subscribed. Thank you.


Great idea! Just one suggestion. Make the name linkeable to their profile or better to the tweet itself, because sometimes you need to understand the context to answer a question.


I hadn't even considered contexts...! Great stuff, thanks - added to the list!


You can add some js magic to save data to the URL and it will remain in the browser's history. Check a post I wrote about it: http://dfernandez.me/articles/3%20-%20drawing%20bookmarklet/


We are working on a solution for this. It is an horizontal layout application were you can create boards (like sections) and drag the tabs to bookmark directly from your synced browser. You can check it out here: http://listboard.it/


We are working on a solution for that, feel free to register if interested http://listboard.it/


Did it work? I am also looking forward to get one. But it seems they are not accepting any new sign up.


I'm still looking around too. I just posted to the social networks to see if anybody had access. I heard they are going public on the 31st of this month. Any news?


Nice work! I was thinking on implementing some cool features on a drawing site I created. I tried to avoid HTML5 canvas to keep compatibility with older browsers (solved with some javascript + image creation workaround). But when I see this kind of apps like yours, makes me wonder if I should forget about compatibility and provide users with better features.


Hola Nicolás, I am from Buenos Aires. Feel free to contact me, my email is in my profile. It is always great to meet new people!


Are you using Google Adsense?


I did in the early days, but they eventually banned me. (still paid what they owed me, though)

I hear from a friend still doing this that adsense is pretty bad these days. More graphic ads convert better and pay more. So ad agencies like Matomy(Xtend), CPX (basically any yieldmanager platform) performs a bit better. Of course, if you can get into platforms such as Tribal fusion then you'll make a killing as they have really high paying ads.


As I could not find a good online javascript blackboard solution that was not developed with Flash or HTML5, I tried to create my own. I share with you my lines of thought and hope to get some feedback/ideas.
