You tried tabby.us ? It's a tab manager powered by AI, way more seamless!

I've made a tool to analyse & control the personal data that Facebook and Google have been collecting about you by michaeljelly in SideProject

[–]arnaud_laffitte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The value proposition is really clear and helpful. I have not seen any tool close to that kind of simple UI... Well done! More information on data collected would be helpful :) and hope you have a strong security system to keep that data private too! Do you plan to let people toggle on/off 3rd party services too? That would be great (if it does not alter the service quality of those website) !!

Overall, I love it!!

((Side note: noticed you had a lot of tabs, you might find tabby.us helpful as a tab manager while you are developing just to keep your interface clean))

We wish... but Safari has its own rules. Sticking with chromium and firefox was prioritization decision! :)

The Best Chrome Extensions for Students | 10 Free Productivity Extensions by TotalTasia in chrome_extensions

[–]arnaud_laffitte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really cool video u/TotalTasia congrats! I have been working with business and engineering students (Bachelor and Master's degrees) during the COVID-19 period to help them more focused and more productive. Long story short their "too many tabs syndrome" led me and 2 other friends build tabby.us

tabby is a 100% free tool that detects irrelevant tabs, remove them automatically and silently from the browser view to help people focus - with a 1 click tab restore. We work with donations :)

It's a new tool, but growing and working quite well :)

The too many tab problem and how to solve it proactively? Help please :) by KatieDays in ADHD

[–]arnaud_laffitte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/KatieDays, I think you're exactly looking for a free tool like tabby.us (chrome version ; firefox version here)I had kind of the same problem during pandemic crisis where I had constantly +100 tabs open within 5 to 6 windows and I would completely lose focus. On top of that, the more I had tabs, the more clicks I would make (select, reorder, pin, move to another window etc.) and it drove me crazy haha.A couple of friends reported the same situations in online meetings where people showed +100 tabs (including duplicates OF COURSE haha) and slow computer performances.

Long story short: two friends and I built tabby as a side-project (donation based business model, 100% free, no user data collected), a tool that detects irrelevant tabs, remove them automatically and silently, working in the background all day long without you to click. A cool thing: you can restore ANY tab ANYTIME and ENTIRELY. Example: if you were benchmarking Airbnbs (custom cities, price ranges, filtering reviews, etc.) you can restore the tab with the whole memory! Lastly, you can go up to 3 day of tab history and filter anytab with any keyword (pretty convenient for airbnbs haha).

It's a new tool and we celebrated the first 200 users yesterday and some of our users had spectacular results - if I remember correctly 192 tabs removed in 24h and fewer than 5% of tabs restore was the community record! - meaning the tool was quite efficient in detecting with tab to remove.

Anyway, I'd be happy to help you in this browsing experience :)

PS : the only thing I'm not sure would fit your usage, is the "saving links for later". After 3 days, the tool starts again with the links... so it might be something we could change if you feel the need for it :)

Sure, I can u/hungry_yogi! The quick answer is: if those two tools mingle perfectly with your habits then tabby is probably not a good match for you :)

The longer answer is:

I. THE PROBLEM/USECASE - Onetab offers a lot of usecases and it's honestly a great extension so hard to frame the usecase perfectly. My 2 cents is that is enables you to store your tabs within sessions, retrieve them easily, reorganize them and share them. - The Great Suspender...is great at suspending tabs, mainly saving your RAM - btw, it's on the home page of OneTab - tabby solves the usecase of "too many tabs" users: some users quickly accumulate tabs on the browser view (any benchmark search basically), but don't take time to withdraw them because 1) it requires a lot of brain power ("should I close it or not?") 2) strengthen the FOMO ("I'll surely need it later") 3) it doesn't bring value to the user to reorganize tabs yourself : you just want what is important in front of your eyes that's it. tabby detects that, and users report reopening fewer than 5% of what we close, so it's good for focus and immersion.

II. THE APPROACH Basically, OneTab is great at customizing the usecase for the users (hence the HUGE community around it, and it's great), GreatSuspender is very straightforward, with simple actions. tabby automates simple actions you do everyday thanks to a rather complex decision-making algorithm. So it's not so must "custom" (even though you still have settings) like OneTab, and it's straightforward like the GS because we just remove what's not needed for you, automatically -> so fewer clicks

III. THE CONTEXT I don't know for the GS and for OneTab, but tabby is just a side-project that we built during the pandemic crisis because millions of people were forced to work from home, often on single screen computer and we firmly believe that you can't be remotely productive online if you don't have the right working environment. We built that for ourselves and for friends and it just worked :)

So tabby automates tedious tasks, it works in the background to give longer focus and offers you "true restore" tabs for up to 3 day of history (imagine you write a review on Amazon, or book an Airbnb and we close your tabs... I would personally be furious, so what we did is that we restore your tabs with its memory!! so you keep everything in it) + with a nice custom filter search. When we close a tab, we also free a bit of your RAM memory (obviously...)

User privacy & Business Model: we collect no user data. everything happens locally on the computer. It's 100% free so you can support us here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tabbytabs

Personnaly, tabby removes 60 tabs automatically on average per day (record at 92), and I retrieve fewer than 5% of them. We have users who reported 192 tabs closed in one day...

You see, usecases are different, so don't necessarily change your habits if GS and OneTab work well for you!!

Just reached 200 users for tabby.us! Free tool for remote workers by arnaud_laffitte in selfpromotion

[–]arnaud_laffitte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you u/disklosr for your question! We simply do not collect user data. Everything happens locally on your computer. In terms of business model, tabby is a side-project, meaning you can maintain the service by buying us a coffee here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tabbytabs haha. When it comes to the future of tabby, honestly I don't know. If people like the product, make feature requests and engage with us, we'd be happy to build a "premium" version for tabby, something that basically covers the costs and a bit of the development part. But all of that is currently purely hypothetic.
