I don't like having multiple tabs and files open when working because it feels overwhelming and cluttered. Thus, I close them the moment I think I don't need them anymore... only to go looking for them again. The purpose of this project is to easily build batch files (files that run a sequence of command-line instructions) that will open all the tabs and files you need to set up your workplace.
This is a simple static webpage built with React that generates a .bat file.
- Enter either a link or an absolute path to whatever file you want opened, then press the blue '+' button
- Optionally set a delay between links/files to let processes finish opening
- It will also show a preview of the .bat file if you'd rather copy paste it instead

- Solo project, term 2 student (no term 1s)
- Genuinely, just started learning React while doing this project, I don't know why I decided to do this with React when I have never seen a line of React code. That's my excuse for any induced ailments as a result of looking at my code.
- Webpage breaks when messing with the viewport widths, still can't figure out CSS even after a term a of web dev...
- In the future, I'd add customizable features that use more batch commands. Also I wanted to add a feature that used Spotify API to search for albums while still in the webpage so you could add musical vibes to your batch file but the documentation scared me off... also you can just copy paste the link instead.
