Tab Looper is a Chromium browser extension that lets you create a list of tabs and cycle through them using keyboard shortcuts.
Shipped this project!
I made a browser extension that loops through a list of saved tabs. I learned how to handle key presses in background.js and I learned more about chrome APIs. The thing I like the most about this project is that it’s actually useful unlike most of my previous projects which were mainly just games.
Added license, readme file, more shortcuts (add tab, remove tab, cycle in the opposite way), content.js for notifications inside the page (see second image), removed background from icons and made the popup a lot better both visually and functionally

wow this is amazing
The extension can now loop through the saved pages. It also works on multiple browser windows and it will open a new tab with the saved url if the old tab was closed. I don’t know what I should use as attachment so here is the extensions tab where it now shows that the extension has a service worker (that’s the part handling key presses and tab changes)

Created the extension setup (manifest.json, icons etc.). Also I created the first version of the popup. It has CSS and all the buttons are working. The added tabs are also saved in local storage.
