The idea for Kabuki came about while I was working on Grunter.
I thought, why limit myself; if I could build an application that doesn’t just manage task runners, but handles IDE projects, browser tabs, task runners, any generic application, and anything else that might be included in a project.
Kabuki is really an application for managing workspaces across applications.
I started with an Electron application, which handles adding and managing projects.
Each application can be matched up with a relevant library; so it could be expanded and added to.
I have plans to expand Kabuki to a web app and mobile app, so that “workspaces” can be switched from your phone, and handled across multiple devices; so I could switch to a redesign project I’m working on from my Android phone; which could instruct my Windows Laptop will open up Photoshop with the relevant designs, and my Linux desktop might also open up Sublime Text and Chrome, with all the files and browser tabs that were last used or added in the same project, along with a backgroun terminal opening and running Grunt.
