I built a Chrome extension to close my 100+ tabs and get stuff done

Hacker News

I built a simple Chrome extension to finally deal with my tab anxiety. I used to have 100s of tabs open — half were tasks, the rest were links I didn’t want to lose. Now, if something’s quick (like replying to an email), I just do it and close the tab.If it’s a task that’ll take time, I add a one-line note with a link (if needed) to the To-do tab.If it’s not a task but something I want to read or save, I add it to the Links tab — and close the tab. This small workflow has been a game-changer. I finally feel okay closing tabs and can focus better.The to-do list forces me to pick just one thing to work on.When I mark a task done, I can even add a link — super useful for things like code reviews or docs I’ve created. I really liked the updates page at [blot.im/news]( https://blot.im/news ) and wanted to build something similar for me. Would love for you to check it out and let me know what you think!
