• continued working on the customization system and finished the custom background flow properly, so users can now add their own images and use them directly as the dashboard background
• also made sure the custom background works nicely with the existing rgb mode, so the background can still have the rgb lighting effects on top of it without breaking the overall look
• after getting the customization side working, i converted the whole project into a proper standalone PWA
• this means MNT can now be installed and used more like an actual lightweight desktop app instead of having to keep opening it through the browser every time
• added the necessary PWA setup and made sure the application can run independently while still keeping all the existing local data, preferences and customizations intact
• honestly this makes the whole idea of MNT make much more sense to me now. instead of opening a browser just to start doing everything, you can just open MNT directly and have your search, todos, shortcuts, news, map, battery info and custom dashboard all sitting there in one lightweight app
• i’m still working on a few more ideas to push this further. one of the things i’m experimenting with is adding a proper music player directly into MNT so you can play your own songs from the same dashboard instead of having to open another service every time
• basically trying to slowly turn this from a new tab page into a small personal desktop workspace :D

there’s still a lot more i want to add, but the standalone PWA setup feels like a pretty big step for the project. more features coming soon :)
