Live folders

A folder that keeps itself up to date: your pull requests, issues, files and feeds, in and out on their own.

A live folder is a kept folder with a source. It reads that source every few minutes with the sign-ins of the space it’s in, no tab open, and keeps its tabs to match: what comes in is added at its top, asleep, and what is done goes.

Make one#

  • Right-click the line above today’s tabs and choose New Live Folder, then a source.
  • Right-click a pin for Live Folder from its site, or a tab for Follow Site in a Folder.
  • Pull Requests is made on its own the first time you open a pull request in a space.

Sources#

  • GitHub pull requests: yours and the ones waiting on your review. Each says Review, Changes, Failing, Ready or New at its end, and nothing when nothing needs you. A merged or closed one goes, unless you’re on it.
  • GitHub issues and a GitHub search you keep.
  • Linear issues, Figma files, Notion’s inbox and pages others changed, and what Google Drive says was shared with you or changed.
  • New videos from your YouTube subscriptions, and any site’s RSS or Atom feed.

Folders of news keep twelve things at most: each comes in once, at the top, and goes a day after you open it.

A tab of a live folder is a sleeping row until you open it, so a folder of thirty costs thirty rows. If a site wants you to sign in again, the folder says Sign in. Close a tab you don’t want and it isn’t brought back.
