Reviews & Comments of Contextinator chrome extension

This is pretty much alpha quality. It has some good ideas, but lots of bugs and not very functional. Considering it has not been updated for more than a year I think it's best to look at other solutions and leave this be. Or maybe fork it on GitHub

THIS IS AMAZING. My productivity online will never be the same again

Great job! Looking forward to it's continued development!

I really like the idea of this extension, but what I don't like is losing all of my projects. Why would Contextinator actively empty a bookmarks folder? Really too bad.

Worked perfectly until I lost all of my projects. Pretty useless if I can't count on it.

Great plugin when working. Beware that Contextinator loses projects occasionally, so some day you might not be able to restore your old projects (i.e. saved windows and tabs). After losing projects, plugin leaves empty folder named "Contextinator" to "Other Bookmarks" folder. Does not replace bookmarks.

Nice extension, here's what I'd love to see in future releases: - In popup window, show list of tabs for each project name with their favicon - When creating a new project, get to choose what should be the new home tab, e.g., normal, url, or empty - Show 'New project' buttons in popup window even if already within a project - Option to re-order projects in the list - Option to remove project from within popup window Other than that there a few things other users have mentioned like option to rename projects, sync between machines

It worked well for one project...then it just deleted the entire project after some inactivity. It has NOT worked for any current projects. This could be great, but major changes are obviously needed.

No longer opens up any of my projects, this is less useful than not having anything. At least with Chrome I could have restored my lost tabs after a restart. Thanks for nothing.

I like what is does, but it doesn't do enough. I can not see projects from my home computer that I've created on my work computer. Also, I am bummed that I can not share projects. I'd like to be able to send my husband all the tabs or bookmarks I have open for vacation . . . I've tried integrating it with Trello, but it doesn't really integrate. Revised from 3 stars to one, 6/6/2013: Contextinator lost one of my projects! I logged on this morning and found my "Everyday" project tabs replaced with tabs from another project. Rebooting does not help. :(

Love it ;)

Great start, but too alpha. Needs a few refinements: 1. Restore tabs in their correct state (eg. pinned) 2. Allow renaming of projects. 3. Don't force-restore the project homepage. 4. The 'contextinator' bar is annoying and doesn't really work. 5. Project windows don't maintain state. After a while contextinator doesn't recognize an open project anymore, rendering itself useless.

Hey, might just be me being silly but for some reason in gmail whenever I use the apostrophe key ' - it brings up an overview view of all my projects. Which is a really neat feature but I use apostrophes quite often in emails and now I'm forced to copy and paste one! FEATURE REQUEST - Ability to rename project titles after you've created them :) Love it so far and already have a dozen projects up. Syncing isn't a big deal for me as I mainly use my desktop for research anyway. Thanks for all your hard work!

This is an excellent idea that just needs a little polish. Easily adds another star for sync between machines. Also, some of the features are not obvious (or they are broken, but I think I'm just missing how to use them)

Finally a tab manager that works exactly the way I attempt to use Chrome! Best of all, I don't have to manually manage bookmark folders or make sure I close the right window last to "save my tabs from last time". I have this installed on ChromiumPortable within Dropbox, so I don't have to worry about syncing between machines. A couple suggestions: 1. Ability to mark a Startup project (loads when you first run Chrome) 2. Remember which tabs are pinned 3. Ability to add custom Apps (a link to our internal ticketing system for example)

I wanted to give this 5 stars purely for being an amazing idea. I usually have several windows at a time fulllll of tabs, so this is a god send. However, I also want to give it 1 star, because of this one bug: if I open an image in a new tab, I get a weird, pixelated version of the image followed by images of the tabs I have open in other projects...that is the best way i can describe that, and it is downright awful. So I will settle for 3 stars, report the bug, and uninstall immediately.

REQUEST: Is there a way to have projects sync'd over Google Chrome? My work computer projects do not show up on my home computer. Using this to plan my vacation and I'm impressed. So far brilliantly laid out. Kind of hard to get the hang of at first. I wish things were draggable and droppable; Wish tasks could be edited after creating. Looking forward to future versions!

GREAT Power user tool.

An excellent app. Haven't used it more than five minutes. And I can see it being a great help. Especially with my bookmarking addiction.

I really like this so far. Like other reviewers, I would like there to the the opportunity to sync between machines, but otherwise it's great! Also an export might be nice ;-)

I really like what I've seen from this extension so far, but I'd really love it if there was a way to easily sync the content between machines.

As a college student pursuing a degree in Computer Science, I often find myself absolutely swamped with tabs open. Keeping track of all of my open WolframAlpha and Wikipedia pages can be extremely hard and headache-inducing once you get very deep into your research. But seriously, I do have a tendency to have way too many tabs open when working on projects or researching, but this extension really helps take some of the stress off by allowing me to organize them all and view it in a single window as well as store other essential information, such as contact details of people. I would HIGHLY recommend this for anyone who has the same problem or even people who don't. You never know when you're going to be swamped with tabs every where, and if you're anything like me (get stressed out when you feel cluttered), this will seriously save the day.
