I started using Skipper (it was Skeema at the time) and I found it useful to find tabs I knew I had open but were hidden in the 50+ or so I had open on every browser. I liked it a lot then and since then they've added a feature where folders are now opening in the center pane, instead of the sidebar which is fantastic. The tabs are grouped by category which makes it very simple to find and maintain order. I am no longer hesitant to close tabs in fear of never finding the site again because I've forgotten about it. I think one of the last things I would like to see is an integration of a bookmarking tool like rainbow.io with features where I can put notes into the platform about the site, search the notes, and really organize my tab life.

A lot of potential, just not what I expected! The most frustrating thing about Chrome tabs is having them in your point of view. If that problem is solved, game over. I do like how it removes the tab after a certain amount of time, but there needs to be an element of "out of sight, out of mind." Keep cooking!

I always considered myself a organized tabber but recently I realized how often I have to cycle through dozens of tabs to find what I'm looking for. I downloaded Skipper and it made my like 10x easier. Its so helpful to have the saved tabs filed neatly because a lot of the times I'm keeping tabs open so I can remember things I need to get done and this creates an easy checklist for me. I will continue to use Skipper for as long as I use Chrome :)
