In terms of scalability with many flow tabs, I would like to revisit the idea of a vertical flow list in the sidebar. 🙂

Some related discussions about this topic:

> Is there a way, or are they working on for v1.0, to have the Flow tabs in the editor go across multiple rows (show more tabs at the top, instead of 1 long list)? I have a lot of tabs, and its nice that I can re-order them, but would be even better if I could see more on a single screen, rather than have to use the search, or arrow to move over to the tabs. Thanks !

> Greetings all! Would be possible to squeeze in a flow list button for quick navigation? I get googly eyed when using the arrows. I know I can Control+F and type in "tab", but this would be nice: [Flow\_List] Thanks for all the work on node-red!
