It's really interesting extension and I would love to use it. Is their any plan to take advantage of the Web Extensions standard to offer this extension on Firefox and Opera too?
Hey guys, I'm Arthur and I developed Toby. The motivation behind Toby was basically to have a UI where I could see all my tabs, organize them, have them "on my face" and treat them as stickers or cards that I could drag around and search through. I think that's the user experience that works for me, it's been helping me a lot and has made me more productive, so I wanted to share with other people who might benefit from it as well:)
Answering your questions here:
- About difference between this and bookmarks: well, it all depends on how you use Toby. I've seen people use it as an actual tabs manager, adding and deleting tabs after they're done with it; others using it as a personal to do management board; and others using it as a bookmarking tool. In any case, I think having that type of UI is the biggest benefit and being able to drag around brings a totally different user experience, which I personally prefer. But please let me know how I can improve it even further.
- About Firefox and Opera: I haven't planned that yet, to be honest, since it's a fairly new project and I'm gathering everyone's feedback, but it would certainly be nice to consider that and expand browser support.
- About syncing: It's actually already under development and almost done. I'd say I'm 95% done and just need a few tweaks and extra testing before publishing sync with the new release. Yesterday and today we got thousands of new people using Toby and excited about it, so I want to make sure I do it right. I'm sure it's gonna be a super cool new feature.
Thank you guys for trying it out and please let me know if you have any other feedback, ideas, comments, etc.
