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.

    Mostly so future me doesn’t undo something I already argued with myself about. They’re in docs/adr if you’re curious.
