What's New
Stay updated with the latest features, improvements, and fixes. We're constantly evolving to provide you with the best resource discovery experience.
v1.3
Pipu update
August 26, 2025Ever forked a site from a public page and wondered why it didn't show up in your Toolkit? That's fixed now. Fork from anywhere, see it everywhere - instantly.
✨ New Feature
Real-time Fork Sync
Fork from any page and it appears in your Toolkit immediately (whether you're in the same tab or open multiple browser windows, everything syncs in real-time).
💡 How it works: When you open multiple browser windows and perform a Fork, we use localStorage + BroadcastChannel to notify all your open TabBoard tabs. If you Fork on the same page and then directly switch to Toolkit, we use sessionStorage + polling to catch the event.
⚡ Improvement
Smart Security Architecture
Public pages (Designer Zone, Developer Zone) now run in 'lightweight mode' - they can forward fork events but can't access your private data. Your sensitive information stays safe while still enabling seamless cross-page communication.
🔒 Security layers:
• Public pages: Only listen for fork events, clean sensitive data
• Toolkit pages: Full functionality, safely manage your collected websites
✨ New Feature
Network Type Recognition
Perfect for Homelab enthusiasts to use as a 'private deployment' navigation page. TabBoard automatically categorizes your websites by network type: public servers, home broadband, IPv6, and local networks.
🛡️ Data protection:
• 🖥️ Public server addresses (VPS, cloud instances)
• 🏠 Home broadband (dynamic IPs)
• 🌍 IPv6 addresses
• 🏢 Local networks (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x)
TabBoard automatically cleans SessionStorage to prevent data leakage, keeping your data locked in your 'Toolkit'.
