Neat idea, I like that it's bringing your focus back in. Do you think there will be a Linux version? Website was a bit odd on Firefox btw.

@spekulatius1984 yup, that's where the download link from their website links to. they don't appear to be open source at the moment as there are only 2 files in the github repo.

This is awesome! One thing I noticed though is that sessions aren't shared between multiple apps within a group. Why is that? For example, I logged into gmail in one app in the work group, tried adding google sheets and it didn't re-use the same session.

@ashok_raju Thank you for your feedback. Because it provide simple way. If it can share session each apps, users should choose session in adding apps. It is complex for users.

@ashok_raju @agata I like the way tabs work independently. I’m a freelancer and I work with different agencies. In a group, I am using two gmail accounts for work + a google drive linked only to first account + Google Chat linked to second account + a GCP account linked to another shared Google account. All these work perfectly without messed up in sessions like in chrome or safari. Very happy with the concept. Will be glad to pay for it. Great job!

I really like the idea of a separate app that I can open and check out all my updates from various sites then close so i don't get distracted. I've tried @stationhq, @ramboxapp, @get_shift, and more. Great features: - The grouping feature in Biscuit, although simple, is a great feature. - I also like that if I click a link in an app it opens a new tab instead of opening the tab in my browser. Questions: - Are the applications hibernating after a certain amount of time? If so, what is that time and could it be optional per app? Issues: - When I run the 1.0.3 appimage on Linux Mint 19.1 the application icon is not displayed correctly. - If I make the sidebar the smallest I can the group button disappears, and the group names are tiny. Could the group names be set to display some sort of alias instead? ie. the first letter in the group name, or all the capital letters in the group name - Some of the custom apps that I have added, discord and protonmail, have signed out after the app has hibernated and i try to open the application. Is this a feature or a bug?

@chris_maclellan Thank you for great feedbacks. Questions: > Are the applications hibernating after a certain amount of time? The apps are not hibernating after selected app. I have plan for hibernating for not often used apps automatically. > Issues: I will check the bugs. > - If I make the sidebar the smallest I can the group button disappears It's an interesting opinion. You can use menu item (Menu > File > Add new group) or a shortcut(Ctrl+G).

@agata I went through and retested a number of other similar apps the other day, and i find your's has the most features that I like. Are you thinking of open sourcing your code at some point?

@chris_maclellan Thanks you very much. Yes, I would like to publish the code. ;-) I should improve the code for easy to development with others. (e.g. write README, Improve complex codes and more.)

I like it, especially the sidebar not simply being icons (like most competitors). Shame it can't add WhatsApp though, it thinks the version of Chrome is out of date.

@agata Thanks for the quick update 👍 I've noticed another problem. When a Gmail notification comes through, if I click the macOS notification it opens a popup window in Biscuit and a new tab in the Gmail browser but neither of them open the new message.

Is it also soon available as portable version? Or do I have the possibility to use it at an USB drive?

Pros:

It pleases me. A logical structure and a quick processing.

Cons:

Nothing till now

@prometheus_parlowski do not ask me why I do not know, but all applications made in electron are not made to use portable, nor do you want to have the option to change installation directory they simply self-install in disk C:
