George Cooke (ID: 00000004784194f7) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/23/2018 You've got the right idea and some nice animation/UI in there. Well done. Chrome and even in my opinion an OS like Windows need this kind of Expose/instant tiling/birds eye viewing with quick find/sort/group/whatever. Instantly I see a couple of possible feature additions: 1. Make it fill the screen or at least bigger, we wanna get an overview, which means as much as possible squashed in there, but with the required details visible, in my case there was favicons but no content (no worries for me, i'd imagine that's resource intensive...). 2. I vote for plain backgrounds, this is for productivity no distraction/confusion; perhaps leave the fancy stuff as optional instead of default. 3. A HOTKEY is imperative and doable. (UPDATE: SORRY I SEE YOU CAN ADD HOTKEY TO ANY EXTENSION IN EXTENSION SETTINGS I DID NOT KNOW THAT!! wooo). Otherwise it's actually darn good mate well done. I personally need Tab mgmt aswell like grouping, sorting, suspending, saving (tagging etc) and integrating with knowledge management apps etc but that is a few months away. Thanks, and nice work :D
