Feature request: better tab grouping #65

Closed a-b closed 7 years ago

a-b commented 11 years ago

Usually user browsing has some "Subject" it would be really great to find some way to group tabs by subject like: "finding new apartment" or "research on vim like chrome extensions".

Phase 1: We can try to clusterize tab open events by time, to better detect this groups Phase 2: we can try to parse meta or website titles to compose group name.

This is an interesting idea, although not sure how it would be implemented. Right now, the focus defaults to the search bar. I usually use that to serve the purpose.

I see, by smart (or better) tab grouping I want to address issue when you restore multiple time groups then they go back to the tab wrangler and as result you're end up with one giant and monolithic group.

Sorry I missed the update here. Can you help me better understand the suggestion? Right now we break it down by 15 min, 30 min, 1 hr, etc... Are you suggesting we try to do some more sophisticated clustering based on time? Like, if there is a gap of 5 minutes between tabs being opened, make a new group?

I think NLP based clustering (keywords, fuzzy, etc) is probably our of scope (at leasrt for this humble hacker)

This idea sounds interesting, but I believe it is out of scope for Tab Wrangler. chrome://history or other bookmark management extensions might be a good place to find this functionality. I'm always happy to review pull requests around this though.
