Shard is a Chrome extension that saves tabs within the currently active window into organized bookmarks. It can then be used to quickly open tabs in a new window, allowing you to start from wherever you've left off.
Shard can be used to:
- keep track of those useful pages you found for your research project that you don't wish to do a search for again.
- open all of your favorite news and multimedia sites in a click of a button.
- save "browser-workspaces" consisting of all of the combinations of pages you need to be productive.
- Clone this repo.
- Go to chrome://extensions/ and turn on "Developer mode."
- Click "Load unpacked".
- Select the path to the repo.
- Click on the window with the tabs you want to store.
- Click the extension and name the folder.
- Click "Create New Gem."
- Click the card that just popped up to open the tabs in a new window.
Shard can currently:
- store all tabs in the active window to a user-named bookmark folder.
- open all tabs in a folder in a new window at the click of a button.
- assign folders gemstone names by default.
In the future, users should be able to:
- view and modify folder contents.
- add new tabs to an existing folder.
- use macros to load or save without clicking the extension.
✅ modify folder names from within the extension.
✅ delete folders (w/o going into the bookmark manager).
Shard can gather all open tabs (shards) in the current window and place them in a folder that you name (gem). You can look through the gems that you've created and shatter them to restore a previous "session".
