I've been building a chrome extension called Skipper [1] that helps people to organize their browser tabs with AI.

For my whole career so far I've been applying ML (as they called it back then) / AI to various domains like drug discovery and cybersecurity. Both were fun but, man, it feels really different to build a consumer app. It's just very exciting to be able to develop something, push it, and get compliments/complains the second day! We've even noticed that the ADHD community are especially engaged with the extension because they suffer the most from the tab overload problem.

Anyways, for those who might need it, here's the link:

I've been working things that could be classified as "a11y for ADHD folks" lately, stuff like this really inspires some of my own projects. thanks for the work! (I am doing something much less robust/featured on my workstation with firefox, but I'm going to try this next time I'm on chrome.)


Slowed down my PC lol, what are you guys doing in the background post-install? Granted, I had 1400 Tabs open (most of them suspended using marvelous suspender) but the CPU usage shot up to a consistent 100% until I uninstalled Skipper


Hey thanks for the feedback! Would you be happy to connect so that I can diagnose and help with the resource usage? Let me be honest, I'm curious of why it'd take so much CPU usage as well, and I'd like to find out and fix it for other users to.

If yes shoot me an email at kyle AT skipper.co
