I have made a kanban style browser extension to manage tasks when I have to move on a different branch for bug fix and other stuffs.
How I work ?
Suppose I am working on some feature which is not completed yet and I have to fix a bug on production or in a open PR which will be merged to production soon. I stash or commit the changes depending on situation, switch to bug fix branch, do the bug fix and test it then commit it. Then return to previous branch.
What issue I face ?
Sometimes I forgot exactly were I was because that bug was critical or it took way more time than expected and I got into too much. Therefore I loose the context of previous branch and feature, like -
- What is done and what is pending ?
- what to do next etc

What approach I was using
For sometimes I was using a text app write current progress and pending tasks stuffs. And it was working but I was looking for a better approach.
What better approach I found
I have made a kanban style simple project/task management webapp. Then I convert that to a chrome extension that replaces new tab with its ui. So whenever I start working on something I break that into small task to add them in that extension. Once a task is completed move it to done. Now even when I move back to task from working on a different task for a long time, I know what is done and what is pending.
Why didn’t I use any other platforms or app
I could have used linear or another app for task tracking but the issue was I have to open another app or website to view that. Whereas with my extension it shows everything whenever I open a new tab which I do a lot.
How can you try it
If you are using firefox then you are lucky because I have added it to firefox extensions store. Firefox Extension Store Link
For chrome users you have to use it as a webapp as it is not available in chrome web store. Web App Link
