Boxing — a hierarchical, infinite-canvas bookmark organizer for Chrome & Firefox. Two-level (large/small boxes) with per-tab memory, WebDAV sync, 14 locales, and warm-neutral design. - Xxx91n/b...

I’m the author. Boxing turns the new tab into a canvas: big boxes hold small boxes, small boxes hold bookmarks, and you can drag, connect and zoom.

The part that might interest people here: every design call is written up as an ADR in the repo, including the ones I reversed. A free hue slider got replaced by 5 hand-tuned themes because it allowed ugly combos (ADR-0012). The font sizes all derive from one base value with an 11px floor (ADR-0019). WebDAV sync went from last-write-wins to a per-box three-way merge with a snapshot before anything gets overwritten (ADR-0009). There’s also a contrast check in CI that fails the build if a clickable control relies on a too-faint border.

No analytics, no tracking. Data lives in browser storage; WebDAV or Gist backup is opt-in. Plain JS, Manifest V3, 14 languages, on the Firefox and Edge add-on stores.

Happy to hear where the design or the code is wrong. Translation fixes are very welcome too.

    This is very AI, but it also seems like one of those things that OP has probably been dwelling on in their head and made it just for themselves. This will be unpopular, but its not the worst thing.

    I’d advise OP to be content being the only one to use it. Make it for yourself exactly as you would use it. Don’t bother with design decision documentation no one will ever read or user config options that are irrelevant to anyone but you. Get the concept working as you imagine, stop, and see if you can try doing the next commit without the LLM.
