Cool stuff. Played around with it and here are some comments
Must have before I'm comfortable sharing with team
- Could not figure out how to edit the rules for a folder once created, had to delete the folder and recreate to get to rules
- Did not like that eesel took over my start page, I had a different start page and if i tried to keep my old start page it disabled the extension - This will likely be a blocker
- I'd like to see much more granular control over what is being seen/indexed/shared from my history and since I use more than one profile to keep things separate, I'd like to see a way to separate personal profiles from team/workspaces
Nice to have (eesel-for-developers):
plugins: I'd like a way to customize the pages/rules etc - maybe add custom javascript etc.
cli: that allows me to programmatically create a folder with url's - inspect folders, move between folders etc.
vscode-extension: to create ephemeral light-weight folders that bring source code files (github/bitbucket urls), jira ticket urls, documentation urls all together in one folder
Thanks for trying eesel out and sharing your thoughts! Helps us heaps. Some pointers on that:
1. To edit the rules for a Folder, open the Folder and head to "Add pages" > "Automatically". We've heard it a few times that discoverability of this isn't great, and it's definitely something we should improve.
3. To clarify, everything is local by default and only pages you explicitly share by adding to a Workspace, a shared Folder and so on are shared.
4. I imagine we'll want to support eesel profiles at some point to better separate personal and work things, but one workaround till then is to have different Chrome profiles and install eesel on both.
Let us know if you have any other thoughts that pop up!
