Or even have checkboxes by tabs in the project list that allow you to select lots and send them all to another project.
That way say you have a lot of tabs open and you suddenly realise that half are procrastination and half are part of a project, you could send the first half to a new project and keep the second half open as a procrastination window.
Adding to this the ability to merge projects would be cool.
I would like to have the ability to migrate tabs between projects too. For some reason drag&drop of tabs between Chromium windows (under Ubuntu) has never worked for me. Copying (or moving) bookmarks and tasks would be really useful as well.
One more thing that would be nice is a check for duplicate project names. I've managed to create two projects with identical names and now can't find a way to delete one of them.
I posted a work-around as a comment to the bug in Launchpad.
Quick Feedback: Always start with the pain-point you are trying to solve! It gets very-interesting from there. Put a story with the theme moving around! Case-studies will help too.
Let me put my story for you:
There is no single tool out there for -- project-resource-management. I use different tools, scattered across. I use trello for project-management, delicious for link-management, dropbox and Gdrive for project related files. And every time I can track and better understand my mind, my workflows and project-tasks if things are organized and easily discoverable.
Now with Contextinator tool, I can come back again to a task, by avoiding multi-tasking or context-switching among tasts/projects! Its like saving all your project-task links for later. One place to manage all. Something like Link management for projects. Think as a Task-resource Dashboard ? :D
Currently, I'm doing a hack to make it work by saving chrome-sessions for later, its almost the same, i.e save all your browser-links with a task-name for later user.
And I keep a workflow like -- one task for one window. HN browsing is one window. Gmail is one window. Trello boards in one window. Note: I have tried many combinations, still experimenting. Also session based saving works fine too. And all gets better over experimentation and based on your workflows and thoughts.
Finally this will be of great use to me. Thanks.
I use Evernote to do the task management that the Contextinator Home Page gives you and I have a shortcut to open up all my project-relevant tabs quickly in a browser. It's a pretty similar setup, and a bit less elegant but it does the trick for me. If the task-management side of Contextinator looked a bit more like Evernote (tags, sharing, etc...) I think it would be even better.
That being said, I think it's a super cool way to manage projects. Keep it up _ankit_!
Solves a pain point I have in a clean and simple fashion. The best a product can be.
Maybe I need to explicitly mention on the extension installation page that we are not capturing any browser history or such.
Since we need to keep track of tabs for each project, maybe that's what pops up this message.
Unfortunately Chrome/Android has a terrible approach when asking for permissions. Since they only know the class of permission (instead of what the dev is doing with them), they pop up a scary-sounding warning and hope the user figures things out. On top of desensitizing users to real threats, I can recall many times when I decided against installing an Android/Chrome app because I couldn't/didn't want to figure out how it would impact my system and didn't want to take a risk on some one-person operation.
Amusingly, I never had this issue on iOS because Apple never warns you and as a user I can assume (rightly or wrongly) that all iOS apps are safe. I wonder when Google will catch on because I personally still feel their app marketplace is much more dangerous than Apple's.
Would you consider adding a 'Notes' section, just like 'Tasks'?
One of the main ideas for future direction is to integrate it more with existing services for Todos (RememberTheMilk, etc.), Notes (Evernote, etc.), instead of rebuilding those tools.
So, imagine having an Evernote notebook for a project, and managing all notes from it on the homepage. That way your information is still in the cloud, in the service of your choice, but accessible within the context of a project.
I'm interested enough to follow its updates.
I'm trying to switch back from Chrome to Firefox, though... Is there an extension (or a set thereof) approaching this one?
