# 🗂️ naoTab — Your Personal Tab Knowledge Base

> 🇻🇳 [Xem phiên bản tiếng Việt](./README.vi.md)

A Chrome Extension (Manifest V3) that turns your browser tabs into an organized, searchable **personal knowledge base** — no server, no backend, everything runs locally inside the extension.

## ✨ Features

- **Save tabs with context** — add a summary, reason for saving, and tags to any tab
- **Brain Visualize** — D3.js force-directed graph; nodes = bookmarks, edges = shared tags; blue node = has summary, grey = no summary
- **List view** — searchable card list with full-text search across title, URL, reason, and tags
- **Node panel** — click any node or card to open a side panel with full details and inline editing
- **Exclude tags from graph** — temporarily hide a tag's connections without deleting it, to declutter the graph
- **AI integration** (optional, off by default) — auto-suggest tags and summaries via OpenAI, Claude, Groq, Ollama, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible provider
- **AI Suggest in panel** — re-run AI on any saved bookmark directly from its detail panel
- **AI Batch** — one-click AI processing for all currently visible/filtered nodes; skips nodes that already have a summary; live progress bar with real-time color update
- **SEO meta extraction** — reads page meta tags (og:description, keywords, author, etc.) on save; ~10× more token-efficient than scraping body text
- **Save whole window** — bulk-save all tabs in a window, each with its own meta tags captured
- **Obsidian export** — ZIP of `.md` files with YAML frontmatter, ready to open as an Obsidian vault
- **JSON export / import** — full backup and restore
- **Connected nodes** — node panel shows all bookmarks linked to the selected node (within current filter), click to navigate between them
- **Sidebar node list** — left sidebar split into Tags (top) + live node list (bottom), updates with filter/search in real time
- **Hover tooltips** — hover any node or sidebar item to preview title + summary instantly
- **100% local** — all data in `chrome.storage.local`, nothing leaves your machine except optional AI API calls

## 🚀 Usage

### Saving tabs
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Save active tab | Click **💾 Tab this** in the toolbar |
| Save any tab | Click **💾** next to a tab in the list |
| Save whole window | Click **💾 Save window** — captures meta for every tab |

Fill in summary (optional), reason (optional), and tags. If AI is enabled, click **✨ AI Suggest**.

### Brain Visualize (Graph view)
- Default view when opening the Knowledge Base
- 🔵 **Blue node** = has summary (AI or manual) · ⚪ **Grey node** = no summary yet
- **Click a node** → side panel opens; connected nodes highlight, others dim
- **Double-click a node** → opens the URL in a new tab
- **Click the background** → reset highlights, close panel
- **Drag nodes** to rearrange the layout

### Excluding a tag from the graph
In the left sidebar, hover over any tag → click **✕** to exclude it from graph edges. The tag turns red with strikethrough. Click **↩** to restore it. Useful when a generic tag like `github` connects too many unrelated nodes.

### Editing a bookmark
Click any node or card → edit summary, reason, and tags in the side panel → **💾 Save**.

### AI Suggest in the panel
If AI is configured, the **✨ AI Suggest** button appears in the panel. It uses the saved page meta to re-generate tags and summary.

### Settings
Click **⚙️** → choose a provider preset → enter API key and model → **🧪 Test connection** → **💾 Save Settings**.

## 🤖 AI Integration

| Provider | API Format |
|---|---|
| OpenAI, Groq, Ollama, OpenRouter, custom | OpenAI-compatible (`/chat/completions`) |
| Anthropic (Claude) | Native Anthropic API (`/messages`) |

AI reads only page meta tags (~75 tokens) instead of full page body (~750 tokens) — **10× more efficient**.

AI is **off by default**. Offline keyword + domain-based tag suggestions always work without any API key.
