  description

  Project Environment Manager is a Chrome extension that helps users organize, manage, and switch between different environments or contexts without losing their place or workflow.
  
  Core Features:
  
  - Environment Management: Create projects and add multiple environment URLs (dev, staging, prod, etc.) to each
  - Automatic Detection: Detects when you're on a recognized environment URL and displays a floating indicator
  - Quick Switching: Switch between environments while preserving your current page path (e.g., /dashboard on dev becomes /dashboard on prod)
  - Visual Indicators: Customizable badge colours for each environment with status indicators
  - Status Checking: Checks if other environments are available before switching
  - Data Management: Export/import project configurations for backup and sharing
  URL 
  - Status Indicators: Shows "Available" or "Page not found" for other environments

  Project Environment Manager helps users avoid one of the most common workflow mistakes: working in the wrong environment, dashboard, account, or tab without realizing it.
  
  Whether you're switching between DEV/STAGING/PROD systems, multiple admin portals, client accounts, identical spreadsheets, or lookalike dashboards, the extension keeps you aware of where you are and helps you switch safely without losing context.
  
  Because:
  • Tabs look identical
  • Context switching is exhausting
  • One wrong edit can create hours of cleanup
  
  Core Features:
  
  • Smart Environment Detection
  Automatically detects recognized environments and displays a persistent visual indicator.
  
  • Instant Context-Preserving Switching
  Switch between environments while keeping the same page or route.
  
  • Visual Safety Indicators
  Use colours, labels, and badges to instantly distinguish critical environments, accounts, or systems.
  
  • Status Awareness
  Check whether equivalent pages exist before switching.
  
  • Project-Based Organization
  Group related environments, portals, or URLs together for faster navigation.
  
  • Import / Export Configurations
  Easily share setups with teammates or back them up.
  
  Why It Matters
  
  Every team — technical or non-technical — eventually runs into this:
  
  • Editing the wrong spreadsheet because both files looked identical
  • Updating production instead of test data
  • Making changes in the wrong client account
  • Sending real emails instead of test emails
  • Working in the wrong admin dashboard
  • Modifying live settings unintentionally
  • Entering data into the wrong environment after opening too many tabs
  
  Project Environment Manager adds a layer of visual awareness to help prevent those costly “wrong tab” moments before they happen.
