We attended the Chrome hackathon on February 19 at HubSpot's office in Cambridge. Jan Kleinert from Google gave us a tutorial on Chrome extension and then we began the hacking.
We decided what extension to make before the hackathon. Victor came up with the idea and it was inspired by the small hack he did during the IAP. During our Battlecode hacking, he made a split-pane display to show three websites (Pandora, google doc, and IRC chat) in the same tab as a dashboard and projected it. This is especially useful for the Chrome notebook because all it has is a browser window, and you cannot have multiple windows.
The one he made was a static layout, what we added, in addition to making it a Chrome extension, is allowing adding and removing panes at whatever position you want. We won the hackathon in the end and Jan wrote a blog post about this event as well.
