Initab is a New Tab Extension for developers designed to replace the browser's new tab page with a dashboard of useful tools. It offers a solution to the common problem of having too many tabs open.

Features:

Activity and History Tracking

• GitHub Issue/PR Activity Initab pulls your GitHub Issue or Pull Request activity directly from your history, making the item visible when you open a new tab.

• GitLab Support The tool allows users to quickly toggle between GitHub and GitLab as their preferred tracker for Issues and Pull/Merge Requests.

• Stack Overflow History A panel can be toggled to show all of your recent Stack Overflow (S.O.) history.

• Relevant History Users can add a keyword in the SETTINGS panel to view browser history related to specific technologies, such as visited articles or blog posts.

• Reddit Feed Users can add their preferred SubReddit in the SETTINGS panel to keep track of current activity in Reddit.

Developer Tools and Utilities

• Gists By entering a GitHub username, Initab fetches all public Gists related to that account, providing quick access to commonly used code snippets.

• Trending Repos This feature helps developers stay up to date by fetching the most starred GitHub repositories that were created in the last month.

• Scratchpad A simple note-taking feature that persists in Local Storage, which is also useful for keeping track of "ToDo's".

Customization and Management

• SETTINGS panel Users can open this panel to configure their preferences.

• CUSTOM LINKS (Optional) Users can add valid URLs to this section, which then replaces the DATE & TIME section with those custom links.

• TAB LIMITING (Optional) This feature automatically limits browser tabs to a user-chosen number by closing older tabs.

• Themes Initab offers two beautiful themes inspired by common development environments and IDEs:

  • Dracula An absolutely beautiful dark theme.

  • Base16 PaperColor Light A lovely light-colored theme.
