Octotree now supports GitLab
I built Octotree a while back [1]. It's an open-source browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari) that adds IDE-like tree view to GitHub. Due to popular request, GitLab is now also supported. Hopes you will find it useful. Link to install: https://github.com/buunguyen/octotree#install-on-chrome-firefox-and-opera.

In plain words
Octotree is an open-source browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Safari that displays an IDE-like file tree view on GitHub and GitLab repositories. It helps developers navigate code more efficiently by showing the project structure in a sidebar, making it easier to browse files without switching between pages. The extension is free and available on major browser platforms.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years.

That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
