Initab is a new tab extension that replaces Chrome’s new tab page with a dashboard of useful tools to make your job as a programmer easier. Get a quick view of your GitHub/GitLab Issue activity, Stack Overflow activity, and much more…
Features:
* Getting started with Initab is easy. Open the SETTINGS panel and configure your preferences. CUSTOM LINKS are a popular (optional) feature that you might consider activating. Simply add some valid URLs or Markdown URLs to the CUSTOM LINKS section in the SETTINGS panel. The DATE & TIME section then gets replaced with your custom links. Don’t forget to try the optional TAB LIMITING feature. It automatically keeps your browser tabs limited to the number you choose by closing older tabs. Some like it, some don’t…so be careful.
* Do you find yourself constantly hunting around for the GitHub Issue or Pull Request you’re currently working on? Initab pulls your GitHub activity directly from your history, so you don’t have to worry about closing the tab associated with that issue and/or pull request. Simply open a new tab and you’ll see the item right there in your GitHub Issue/PR Activity.
* Oh, you don’t use GitHub? You’re more of the GitLab type, huh? Well, Initab has you covered! Quickly toggle between GitHub and GitLab as your preferred Issue and Pull/Merge Request tracker.
* Whoops! You accidentally closed the tab with the Stack Overflow answer that could help you out of the mess you’re in… Don’t worry, Initab has you covered there too. Click this button to toggle the Stack Overflow panel which is populated with all of your recent S.O. history.
* Cover all your browser history bases with the RELEVANT HISTORY section. Do you want to see articles or blog posts you’ve visited related to a specific technology? Add a keyword in the RELEVANT HISTORY section in the SETTINGS panel.
* Do you have a favorite SubReddit for the technology you love to work with? Add your preferred r/… in the SETTINGS panel, in order to keep tabs on whats going on in Reddit today.
* Do you need quick access to your commonly used code snippets that you have available in your Gist account? Simply enter your GitHub username and Initab will fetch all public Gists related to your account.
* Keep up to date with the hot new GitHub repos for the technology that you’re interested in. Trending New Repos fetches the most starred GitHub repositories that were created in the last month.
* Scratch Pad – a super simple note taking app that is available to you with every new tab you open.
* Code Playground – now you can create projects and quickly hack around from within Initab.

lovely!
A+ … Still needs work, but fits my needs just fine. May the Source be with you, guys!
Really smart and usefull. Thank you !
Awesome tab that is perfect for a dev
This is so cool!! I just got it and it has everything I need for my coding! Github, Stack, Reddit, and notes. I would give this a 10/5 but sadly, I can’t. Great work Initab!!
this is a very useful extension
Es genial, estaría bueno que se pudiera correr otros lenguajes que no sean web
cool
This is a work of art more than just a chrome extension.
I’d even be willing to pay a small amount to get rid of the ads. 🙂
i like it. i wish there were an option to toggle on/off the features I don’t plan to use.
cooooooooool
Very helpful for developers.
I really love it.
Oh my god! I spent the whole day trying to find a good productivity focussed extension all day today. I found momentum, leoh, etc. However, i didn’t know that THIS was what i needed!!! I stumbled upon this by pure chance and i absolutely love it! However, i would love it if i could add multiple keywords in my “relevant search history”. If you consider open-sourcing this, i would be more than happy to contribute!!
It would be better if it have Label instead of URL for CUSTOM WEB LINKS
As far as i can see, everything is great. Besides the paid ad-removal option cited by many users, I’d also like to put some emphasis on more theme-ing options.
I didn’t know I even needed this.
awesome
For running on Vivaldi: Settings/Tabs/ check “new Tab page feature” and “controlled by extensions”.
Awsome
This is the only “new tab extension” I’ve ever installed and kept! I almost always delete it right after I install it.
I look forward to new features or sections that get added in the future. Thank you!
It’s OKAY. Just isn’t much there other than access to Git repo’s and a collating of posts on Stack Exchange. To really make this one good (even if the additions need to be behind a paywall), you should add groups of sites with programming-centric posts other than Stack Exchange. Links to programming messageboards and such. Programming tips for various languages. Right now it’s essentially a demo.
Excelente, Me gustaria que tubiera mas de una subreddit o key!
love it! would you consider a paid option to get rid of the ads?
This is amazingly useful. One minor thing: it would be very handy to have other members of the “Stack Exchange” family of sites available as menu items on the left (similar to how stack overflow is done), especially serverfault and superuser.
That’s all, otherwise perfect!
