I have the same issue with terminal consoles that I have with tabs. And spreadsheets, and RStudio tabs, and "IDE" (glorified text editor) open files.

So what I was thinking was to build something that I can feed a short note + a link and it will look at the context, the link content. Maybe pass it browsing history of the tab. And then close the tab out. 

I desperately need a knowledge base that helps me navigate the gigabyte of info I'm taking in all and every day. Getting older, and I have trouble retaining every single thing

> thinking of vibing up a local variant of Defer

the main reason that I'm not actively seeking a software solution for this problem is that I consider it a subproblem of more general ADHD[^1], and thus deem it more appropriate to attack the more general behavioral issues.

edit: ***thank you** for mentioning and linking [Defer](https://defer.to)*; I should at least include it in my brainstormy research towards a more general praxis.

[^1]: at least, that's my judgement for my own case! obviously, some people might only suffer from this when they have 16GB RAM and fifteen notification channels all going off at once; however, my solution should ideally work equally well in the entire space of my distractions, that spans graphical desktop environments, console sessions, smartphone distractions, and books that include musical scores with scribbles on looseleaf...

I often find that when I'm not disciplined about keeping my heap of browser tabs bounded, the pressure to reduce the number of open tabs leads to me abandoning this retracing of "why/how did I get here".
