# Open Tab Tracker
This tool tracks the count of open tabs you have, and plots them over time.
When I'm working on a problem, or exploring a new idea, I'll open a new browser window and start searching. I'll discover related ideas that I should look into, new things to learn, and often, _more problems_ to work on. I thought it would be neat to be able to display this data visually.
This is what my open tab chart looked like while I was working on this project. You can see the points in time where I solved a problem I was working on _(sharp decrease in open tabs)_, and the points where I discovered new problems to solve _(sharp increase in open tabs)_.
