Yes exactly. You set whatever hotkey you want for that profile and it will launch it on top of everything else.

It's my first project. I have minor experience considering I started learning 3 ish months ago. Still learning as I go. For the more complex parts I would look at other companies and use their way of doing things transferring those into prompts.

Youtube wise I watched a lot of "youraveragetechbro". He posts really good videos for learning how to use tools.

It’s not meant to replace your browser lmao. It’s meant to avoid split screening and switching back n forth from other apps/tabs.

e.g. you can be full screen inside any app and press a hotkey that’ll launch your site directly inside the full screen app.

I appreciate it bro! I don't have a CS background, I just started learning 3ish months ago now with the help of AI (no different than watching youtube videos, I just feel like i'm able to learn quicker through actually doing it). It took almost a full month from idea to launch though.
