Trail-Mix is a Firefox Extension to make your work life easier. Trail-Mix helps you track web pages, notes, files, and folders across different projects - without leaving your favorite browser - Firefox!
Trail-Mix introduces the concept of an Activity. Activities can be related to anything that you need to track. People often have a number of different projects at work, so Trail-Mix makes it easy to add new activities and switch between them. Activities and other Trail-Mix applications are always available in the sidebar, so you can access them at any time. No more switching between applications and searching for information.
Because most of my work life is now spent building Trail-Mix, I have activities for different development projects that I look after. If I see a cool new technology I’d like to introduce into the product, I create an activity for that. I can add web pages or notes to my activities, or drag & drop to include links, pictures or other snippets of text. If there’s a PDF or Word Doc I want to read, I can put that in there too. You can even take snapshots of pages!
Trail-Mix has a concept of Favorites, so Favorite activities are always available from the toolbar. I mark the activities I’m currently working on as Favorites, as well as a few others that I use most often.
Trail-Mix also includes a built-in Files application, similar to your desktop - except it’s built into Firefox. You can quickly browse through folders to find what you’re looking for in a familar way. You can even bookmark directories if you’d like. If you want to add a file or folder to an activity, just drag it in!
Trail-Mix Files Application
In addition to desktop files, Trail-Mix has an Online Files application. You can access any online file service that supports the industry standard WebDAV protocol, including those from Microsoft, IBM, Documentum, and Oracle, as well as countless online file services. With the Online Files application in the sidebar, you can easily drag and drop files from your desktop into the file service to share with your group.
If you’d like to make your work life easier, try out Trail-Mix, and let me know what you think!
