How I use new.space to practice guitar
Flexibility for all my learning resources 😔 ➡ 😌
When starting a new project of some sort, my browser tabs start to look like this after some time. I know, not a good look 😔.
That is just the general nature of these things, though. You learn, research, and collect anything that might be useful. Eventually, this becomes essentially impossible to navigate, and, unless you are bookmarking these things, they will likely just get lost or accidentally closed over time.
I’ve been learning to play guitar for about a year. I’m in the beginner phase where my practice is part learning music theory, part figuring out where notes are, and part just learning and playing songs. It probably isn’t the most efficient way to learn guitar, but it has helped me stick with the instrument.
I've kept a browser window full of tabs of online resources for learning guitar—instructional videos on YouTube, sheet music for some of my favorite songs, and whatever else I could find. Eventually, the huge number of 🎸 browser tabs started driving me crazy. I kept losing them, mistaking one resource for another, and started feeling scared to lose everything I had collected. So, I moved it all to new.space.
new.space has given me a really great, visual way of interacting with my lessons and has kept my browser workspace clean. 😌
If you want to see the guitar space, check it out here:
Everytime I come across something great—like an awesome video I found while browsing YouTube—I just add it to a space, and later, when I’m ready to practice, I’ll have a visual reminder of the video. In the past, I would just open a tab and “throw it on the pile with the others,” where it would remain buried forever. Not anymore!
If you’ve been using new.space in an interesting way, we’d love to hear about it. Head on over to the thread and let us know!

One thing you can do in macOS Safari, I recently discovered, is open the sidebar (cmd+shift+L), then right click where is says ‘500 tabs’ then click ‘Copy Links’. You can then go ahead and paste that into a space.
This also adds the list of urls to the space as a text file, I believe.
I can’t see how do do this in Arc, though, which is annoying. I might send them a feature request.
This is definitely what I encounter everyday. I used to categorize tabs into groups or workspaces, by some browser extensions (add-ons, plugins, whatever), or native features. But since the process is boring and iterative, I usually give up after some tries.
Do you any automation tips that can do it easily for putting all tabs in current window into a new.space?
