Ask HN: What browser tabs do you always have open?

9 pointsmatthiaswh14 comments

As I settle into more and more of a routine with my daily life working from home, I find that I keep a handful of websites always open in a separate browser window. Right now for me these are:

Hootsuite (sometimes Seesmic now)

Google Docs

Gmail

Evernote

Wordpress backend (for my WP network)

My todo app

Pivotal Tracker

I'm an avid Chrome user, but I find it is easier to have the tabs preloaded rather than opening the default page and clicking to them from there.

View on HN

I can tell you what tab I never leave open, anything that requires me to be authenticated with Google. I'm probably being paranoid, but I'm afraid to remain logged in to google in the event that somehow a site would manage to read the google auth cookie and gain access to my email.

Gmail + Google Apps for frid.ge (these are normally pinned in that order) HN frid.ge + frid.dev + our staging server assembla (generally the changeset stream + tickets) My wanna.do list (side project of mine, which also serves as my todo list)

Also, I generally have the symfony and doctrine documentation open and sometimes php.net as well

Always:

gmail, piwik, dealush (my site)

Usually:

localhost:3000, sugarcrm, redmine, basecamp, facebook, twitter (both for work of course...)

and... HN :D

* Gmail

* Google reader

* Company's public forum

* Trac

* Cruise (Continuous Integration)

* Internal wiki

* localhost:8088

Usually gmail and facebook, and one blank tab.

I don't know why, but I like to have a blank tab :/

Stuff I seem to always have open:

GMail

Hacker News

Twitter

localhost:8080

Gmail, Workflowy, 30boxes (calendar) -- Those are my staple 3.

Facebook, Gmail, Grooveshark and my site, diPoll

gmail, news.ycombinator.com, fanvibe.com, localhost:3000, and a million google search results

Facebook certainly.

phpMyAdmin, GitHub, Google and HN.

* localhost:3000

* localhost:9292

* news.ycombinator.com

* mail.steveklabnik.com

* sometimes localhost:8080

I really need to standardize my development ports.

vhosts + /etc/hosts ;)

My work projects are blahproject.zg (as I work at a place called ZehnerGroup), personal projects are blahproject.dev.

BTW, for those interested in my stack (thats what she said?) I run uWSGI locally right now for all my django stuff, proxied to Nginx. Back in the day it was apache + mod_python, then apache + mod_wsgi, but I love nginx on my local laptop as it uses almost zero memory.

Yeah, or I could just change my config slightly to make them all on the same one. I'm never running more than one at a time, so vhosts seems like a bit of overkill.
