  description

  NOTE: BETA PROJECT: 
  This is a Proof of Concept & while stable, has some minor UI/ UX Bugs that need to be fixed, I haven't had a chance to fix them, but despite these minor UX issues, I have been using it daily for 3+ months and it is stable in its current state.
  
  Introduction:
  
  Take control of your browser with SEATabFinder — the ultimate virtual folder manager for Chrome Tab Groups.
  
  Are you tired of your browser's top bar becoming an unreadable, cluttered mess of Tab Groups? While Chrome's native Tab Groups are great, they don't allow you to organize them into folders. That's where SEATabFinder comes in.
  
  SEATabFinder lives conveniently in your Chrome Side Panel, allowing you to create a virtual, nested folder structure for your Tab Groups. Think of it like a file explorer for your browsing sessions! Easily drag and drop your active Tab Groups into custom folders, keep your workspace clean, and focus only on what you need right now.
  
  🌟 Key Features
  
  📁 Virtual Nested Folders: Create custom folders and sub-folders to organize your Tab Groups by project, client, research topic, or whatever fits your workflow.
  
  🖱️ Intuitive Drag & Drop: Simply drag your active Tab Groups from the "Unsorted" list and drop them into your custom folders to organize them instantly.
  
  🗂️ Side Panel Integration: SEATabFinder lives in Chrome's native Side Panel, meaning your organization tree is always accessible without interrupting your browsing.
  
  💾 Local Backup & Export: Never lose your workspace. Export your entire folder structure and tab group setup as a .json file. Perfect for backing up your work or migrating to a new computer.
  
  🔒 Privacy First: Your data belongs to you. SEATabFinder saves your folder structures locally on your device. No accounts, no cloud syncing, and no tracking.
  
  🚀 How it Works
  
  Open the SEATabFinder side panel.
  
  Click "+ Folder" to create a new category (e.g., "Work Projects", "Travel Planning").
  
  Drag your active Chrome Tab Groups into the folders.
  
  Click on any saved group in your folders to instantly focus its tabs!
  
  Say goodbye to tab overload and hello to a beautifully organized browser. Install SEATabFinder today and build the workspace you deserve!
