Dedupes tabs by full URL and groups by Open Graph metadata in Chrome.

Strengths
  • •Full URL matching catches duplicates that domain-only checkers miss
  • •Preview before apply prevents accidental tab closures
  • •No build step required—plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Weaknesses
  • •Crowded category with OneTab, Workona, and Toby already established
  • •Semantic sorting mentioned as future work, not yet implemented

Post Description

I’ve been living in dozens of tabs (struggling with too many tabs open syndrome), so I finally built Tabby.

What it does - Dedupe tabs using the full URL and close duplicates in one go, keeping a sensible tab per group - Export every unique link to a .txt when you need a snapshot - Organize and group tabs by category in windows using page metadata - Preview before apply with progress

What I ended up with - Cleaner windows one category per window (semantic sorting could come later) - Closed many tabs that I was hoarding and I’d even forgotten about

I have been thinking to add import/export CSV and semantic organizing

Rethinking the UI = F(State) Model

Targets fuse data and behavior into ordered, self-contained blocks so your code reads like a sequence (width animates, then color, then fetch) instead of juggling promises and external animation libs. The built-in Web Animations usage and the $$ wait-syntax are neat, opinionated moves — but it's still a bold, niche bet against mature motion ecosystems and will need strong integration stories to win broad adoption.
