Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/4270

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

Summary

Like how Arc, Edge & some firefox extensions do it, putting the tabs on the left instead of on top

Why should this be worked on?

  • Free up precious vertical screen heights for other contents
  • Much easier in tab / history management
  • The current tab bars already have enough spaces to add a Tab icon, so UI work should be limited (quick n easy W)

How would this work? For example on browsers like Firefox, it works because there is nothing else there. In Hoppscotch you already have three sidebars. Adding one more might just be pushing it.

I'd imagine it be like how the History tab is done, using the existing sidebar areas. (Ie. You can see history or tabs, but not at the same time)

Not a maintainer here, but just spin up a PR, push the first draft and link it to this issue. Assignment is simply a formality

See above^

No one should wait for assignment, just put up a PR and link it here; worry about assignment later.

The last person asked for an assignment, and then just vanished.
