Do you find yourself reopening tabs frequently?

Idea Validation:

Hello IH! Do you find yourself reopening the same tabs frequently? Do you ever want to reference or revisit a tab you visited previously but can't find it?

Do you work on many things (e.g. work, school, side hustle, personal) and finding it hard to split it up? Do you use separate desktops or browser windows to organize your work?

In any of these pain points strike a chord I'd love to hear from you!

I'm working on Partizion - https://www.partizion.io/ - a tab management app to help people better manage their productivity in the browser.

      Fair enough, is most of your work not in the browser?

        I work a lot in the browser and have gazillion tabs open, but it is not a pain point.

        Separate browser windows or separate browsers do partitioning just fine, and "open all tabs" of a bookmark folder sets up my workspace in 250 milliseconds after the rare reboot.

    do you know browser profiles? you can set one for every context (eg work or school), then put every profile eg in your task bar and open them with a shortcut, eg win+1 for work, then just type 'm' + Enter and Chrome will autocomplete mail.google.com and you see your eg work mail.

    do the same with your personal profile and you see you personal gmail. super fast, no clicking around required and unlimited profiles.

      Yes! This is a nifty trick but unfortunately it still didn't quite do the job for me. I wanted to open particular tab configurations on the same profile at different times.

      For example, let's say you're working on your 'work' profile - it is frustrating and even wasteful to close all the tabs you are working in for project A and then find and open all the tabs you need for project B.

      The alternative is to keep the windows with projects A and B open with all of their tabs but then you run into even more problems - and you are still unable to quickly access these collections of tabs later.

    I use OneTab on Chrome.
    I don't have the pain point you described.

    Usually, I just use OneTab to save a tab so I can read later.
    it's easier to use than "Pocket"

      Thats fair! I've also tried both OneTab and Pocket and didn't find they met my specific pain points but glad to hear you've done something to mitigate the tab chaos! :)
