Organiza las urls por proyectos.. Muy util.

Вже в котре несподівано зникають всі існуючі проекти, що цікаво — після того, як деякі були прив’язані до Google Drive (вони чомусь не прив’залися, а теж зникли). Останнє оновлення — 9.10.2013, сьогодні 8.02.2016. Сире розширення, ще й майже два з половиною року без оновлень. Звісно, їх годі й чекати — видаляю. Шкода, бо задум потужний.

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
