Quipu szerző: Alejandro Giacometti

Quipu is a simple Pinboard powered session manager.

I have too many tabs open. I struggle to keep them organised. If I have to switch context, I often keep a group of tabs related to a topic open, or I save them in an email, or a slack message or a variety of different bookmarking services, and lose them. I fear my browser crashing and losing work.

Quipu is a tool that allows me to save some tabs for later, arranged in a simple, two level hierarchy. It doesn't require me to spend too much time curating them, but it does make saving and having them available quickly.

Quipu uses pinboard tags to organise tabs in pages and cards. A bookmark can appear in multiple pages and cards, if it is so tagged. Pages and cards provide no formal structure, they are for the user's visual convenience only. Bookmarks are ordered according to when they were saved.

The name quipu comes from an andean record keeping – and perhaps writing – system, which organises information in strings and knots.
