What variant of Codex are you using?

APP & CLI

What feature would you like to see?

Please please please please OpenAI add workspaces like i've done in my down Pi-desktop application. Inspired by Arc/Zen browser and other great UI/UX from softwares we all love and use everyday.

We really need a way to organise life/projects better than just a sidebar with 500 project/folders which can only be open/closed via dropdown.

Additional information

Checkout how I have done in my app: https://github.com/gustavonline/pi-desktop

Or like the Arc/Zen browser is doing it: https://docs.zen-browser.app/user-manual/workspaces

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implement a workspace feature to organize projects and folders in a more user-friendly manner.

Guidance

  • Review the provided GitHub repository (https://github.com/gustavonline/pi-desktop) for inspiration on implementing workspaces.
  • Explore the Arc/Zen browser's workspace feature (https://docs.zen-browser.app/user-manual/workspaces) for additional ideas on UI/UX design.
  • Consider adding a tabbed or panel-based interface to replace the current sidebar with 500 project/folders.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of integrating a workspace feature into the existing APP & CLI architecture.

Notes

The implementation details of the workspace feature are not provided, and the technical requirements for integrating it into the Codex APP & CLI are unclear.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a custom workspace feature inspired by the provided examples, as there is no clear indication of an existing solution or fixed version.
