Workspace

  Mockup of the extensions popup menu

• 

  Potential popups for adding new bookmarks and workspaces

Inspiration

Setting up for online classes is really tedious. They all use so many different platforms that you have to navigate and while I'm setting up it's really easy to get distracted with something, anything more interesting than trying to navigate D2L.

What it does

Workspace is a bookmark managing chrome extension that allows the user to create ''workspaces,'' collections of bookmarks that are used for common tasks. These workspaces can be nested within each other for further organization. When the user opens a workspace, the extension closes all currently open tabs, and all of the bookmarks stored within the workspace are opened, along with bookmarks in the parent folder. With one click, users are ready to start working.

How we built it

We didn't. My team was unavailable for most of the hackathon.

I worked out a class structure for managing workspaces, but when I got to implementing it in the chrome extension I was completely lost.

Challenges we ran into

Html No team No prior knowledge of web apps

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Learned javascript Got up in time to present my idea

What we learned

Javascript Some of the chrome API What a manifest file is for

What's next for Workspace

The Workspace project will be on hold for now, I may be able to continue working on it in august when I'm done school and not working.
