Chrome extension for managing n8n workflows with tag-based organization, dark mode, and customizable folder colors. n8n Workflow Explorer Chrome Extension Project Description n8n Workflow Explorer is a sophisticated Chrome extension designed to enhance the workflow management experience for n8n users. This comprehensive tool transforms how users interact with their automation workflows by providing an intuitive, feature-rich interface that goes far beyond basic workflow listing. What Makes This Extension Special This extension addresses the common pain points of n8n workflow management by introducing intelligent organization, visual customization, and user experience enhancements. Unlike simple workflow viewers, this tool provides a complete management ecosystem with advanced features typically found in premium workflow management platforms. Core Innovation: Smart Tag-Based Organization The extension's standout feature is its intelligent folder organization system. It automatically creates hierarchical folder structures based on workflow tags, using tag creation dates to determine folder nesting logic. This means workflows with multiple tags are organized in a logical, predictable manner that reflects their actual development timeline. For example, a workflow tagged with "Marketing" (created Jan 1) and "Email" (created Jan 5) will be nested under Marketing > Email, providing intuitive navigation that scales with project complexity. Advanced Visual Customization The extension offers unprecedented visual customization through: 10 distinct color themes for folders (Default, Primary, Success, Info, Warning, Danger, Purple, Pink, Orange, Teal) Individual folder coloring with persistent storage Professional Bootstrap Icons throughout the interface Complete dark mode implementation with custom scrollbars and theme-aware styling Comprehensive Dark Mode Experience The dark mode isn't just an inverted color scheme—it's a completely redesigned visual experience. Every element, from input fields to scrollbars, has been carefully crafted to provide optimal viewing in low-light conditions while maintaining the extension's professional appearance. Technical Excellence Built with modern web technologies, the extension leverages: Chrome Extension Manifest v3 for future-proof compatibility Bootstrap Icons CDN for consistent, professional iconography Chrome Storage API for secure, persistent data storage Advanced CSS Grid/Flexbox layouts for responsive design ES6+ JavaScript with modern async/await patterns User Experience Focus Every interaction has been designed with user experience in mind: Right-click context menus for folder color customization Smooth CSS transitions for visual feedback Comprehensive error handling with user-friendly messages Real-time API validation for immediate feedback Keyboard accessibility throughout the interface Workflow Status Intelligence The extension provides clear visual indicators for workflow states, automatically separating active workflows from archived ones. This helps users focus on currently relevant automations while keeping historical workflows accessible but out of the way. Security and Privacy Built with security best practices, the extension stores all data locally in Chrome's secure storage system. No external services are used except for the user's own n8n instance, ensuring complete data privacy and security. Perfect for Teams and Power Users Whether you're managing a handful of personal automations or orchestrating complex business workflows across multiple teams, this extension scales to meet your needs. The folder color system is particularly valuable for team environments where visual organization can improve workflow handoffs and maintenance. Future-Ready Architecture The extension is built with extensibility in mind, featuring a clean codebase that supports future enhancements like search functionality, workflow statistics, bulk operations, and potential mobile optimization. This isn't just another workflow viewer—it's a complete workflow management enhancement that transforms n8n from a powerful automation platform into a beautifully organized, visually intuitive workflow ecosystem.
