📸 Sneak Peek

🛠️ Installation (Developer Mode)

Currently, Airtabs is in development and can be installed as an unpacked extension.

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/mpluto-o/Airtabs.git
cd Airtabs

2. Set up Firebase

To keep your data private, Airtabs requires you to connect your own Firebase Realtime Database.

1. Go to the Firebase Console and create a new project.
2. Create a Realtime Database and set the security rules to allow read/writes.
3. Register a web app in your Firebase project to get your configuration keys.
4. Create a file named firebase-config.js in the root of this extension directory and add your keys:

export const firebaseConfig = {
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
  authDomain: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID.firebaseapp.com",
  databaseURL: "https://YOUR_PROJECT_ID-default-rtdb.firebaseio.com",
  projectId: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID",
  storageBucket: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID.appspot.com",
  messagingSenderId: "YOUR_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID",
  appId: "YOUR_APP_ID"
};

3. Load into any Chromium based browser

1. Open Chrome (or any Chromium browser like Brave/Edge) and navigate to chrome://extensions/.
2. Toggle Developer mode ON in the top right corner.
3. Click Load unpacked and select the Airtabs folder you just cloned.
4. Pin the extension to your toolbar and start syncing!

🛣️ Roadmap (Future Versions)

Current Status: v1.0 (Chromium Core)

• Chromium extension core functionality (Chrome, Edge, Brave)
• Firebase Realtime Database integration for instant broadcasting
• Cross-Browser Expansion: Convert and package the extension natively for Safari (via Xcode) and Firefox.
• Strict Database Security: Lock down the open Firebase Realtime Database by implementing strict Security Rules and Firebase App Check to block any unauthorized outside access.
• Mobile Device Support: Bring Airtabs to phones (iOS/Android) so you can push and receive tabs directly from your mobile device.
• Tab Group Syncing: Add the ability to broadcast entire Tab Groups at once.
