- Cloud backup/restore is open as #76 [2].
OK, I will check that out - I think I am still on an old version of TF from source - I had hassles getting TF working on my laptop when I was away but have since been messing around with containerised apps on Fedora SilverBlue on the laptop when I get time . . so getting TF working there stopped being a high priority . .
- I have not written any Android apps myself. I know you can use embedded Web controls in an Android app, but I don't know if they support the Chrome extension API.
Right - I have always been on the verge of trying to get an Android app working . . but never quite making it . .
- Android does have a built-in expandable list view which would work until #34 [3] is implemented.
Ah right - yes #34 would be good to get going too . .
I found an article [4] about it.
Hmm . . interesting . . I wonder if this would be a good intro project for me . .
A standalone app that just loaded a TF backup file and gave you that view, with the ability to fire activities to open pages, would probably not be too hard (as far as apps go).
Yes, I wonder . .

5 years ago If you do decide to make it an intro project, let me know! I would be happy to help test.
TF is Central to how I deal with jobs / projects now and this works very well when I am home on my workstation (WS) but I would like better access to my TF tab tree when I am travelling or just out for a while. When I am travelling and have time to use my laptop, I import my WS exported TF tree from Google Docs - and that works reasonably well (I don't usually need to make changes and re-save) but it would be nice to have an Android app that I could import the TF tree into, and from there navigate and open individual tabs or windows in my default browser - currently the DuckDuckGo Android app. I am guessing this a lot of work - how much of the existing code could be re-used for an Android app?
