Tabs == To-do's

Every open tab is a pending to-do, if only to come back and close or bookmark it. Having hundreds of open todo's in your face the whole time takes a mental toll. For most people closing tabs will free up some mental space as well as swap space.

The problem is that it's still too hard to save and organize things as you go without the right tooling. My approach FWIW:

As someone who regularly runs up thousands of tabs, BrainTool has been an absolute blessing for organizing tabs into contexts! Since the tabs list/tree is available in an easily parseable plain text format, it becomes trivially easy to process tabs programmatically.

I strongly encourage anyone who is curious to try it out.

I would love to use this, but doesn't seem like tasks can have dependencies/blocking tasks. Very few todo systems do. That's how I derive the "right" order to do things in with complex parallel tasks and research.

Love it UX-wise though.

My use case is research-oriented and it’s impossible to impose that much structure on tasks — for me it’s mainly about keeping track of tabs/links while I go through them and organize my mental models (they’re not even really tasks). I don’t know about the applicability for a more execution-oriented workflow.
