Adding Winnow in the Chrome Store

draft

Tags: winnow chrome extension plugin feature

I checked Winnow into the Chrome Development store.

I'd like to:

  • identify each window
  • bring focus to a window
  • enable icons to move all windows
  • tie a window to a set of Bookmarks

Notes about creating a Google Chrome Extension

Description = Winnow is a Google Chrome Extension that makes it easier to move tabs between windows and manage groups of tabs.

Technologies = javascript, grunt, google chrome

Update Nov 2, 2014

Winnow has been updated from Bootstrap 2.3.2 to 3.3. Each window button has been re-worked. Previously, the entire div was clickable, sending the current tab to another window. In this iteration, the div was split into 3 parts: name, send button, and focus button. The name simply displays the name for each Chrome Window. The send button sends the current tab to another window (retaining the same behavior as the previous version). And a new See button brings focus to the specified Chrome Window, making it a bit easier to locate a window.
