Devlog 5 for my Custom New Tab Page

Last devlog before the second ship! It was mostly polish, but I did add one last standout feature, which is a timer. I also added a couple more bookmarks as well as some styling updates. I also moved the credits text to the bottom card instead of the top.

Anyways, that’s it from me, and have a nice rest of your day/night!

Devlog 4 for my Custom New Tab Page

This was a fun one. I implemented a timer, which came with their own suite of nasty bugs to squash. For example, the + / - buttons were misaligned vertically. Took a bit of positioning work to fix. I also fixed an issue with the date readout, because I mixed up the day of the week with the day of the month (whoops). Besides that, I made a couple of minor visual changes to the Search box, but that’s about it! I still want to add a timer sound, and some more bookmarks.

That’s it from me, and have a nice rest of your day/night!

Devlog 3 for my Custom New Tab Page

3rd devlog already! It was mostly focused on fixing a few bugs, as well as adding a Google Search feature! I fixed a glitch where the background image credits text was outside of the main card on some devices (specifically Linux for some reason) and also added Google Search! You can now type in the search box, press enter, and you’ll be redirected to a Google search query. Also made some minor adjustments to the README because it was lacking in detail.

Anyways, that’s it from me, and have a nice rest of your day/night!

Devlog 2 for New Tab Page

Finally fixed the glitch where background blurring didn’t work on Pages! Turns out this was a CSS Minification error, which I didn’t even know existed. I just disabled it. Problem solved.

Anyways, I added a digital clock with a date reader, and some cool bookmarks using https://skillicons.dev ! I might tweak the visuals a bit, but the core idea is there.

I also might add some more features like a task organizer or weather system, but those are for later.

Anyways, that’s it from me, and have a great rest of your day/night!

Devlog 1 for my Custom New Tab Page

So it’s a custom browser new tab! I added a pretty lavender wallpaper (thanks to Baraa Jalahej on Unsplash for the amazing picture) and started work on the centerpiece, which will eventually be a digital clock with a weather display. Unfortunately, the blur somehow didn’t make it to the current screenshot, even though it showed up in localhost. I’ll have to investigate that. In the meantime, use your imagination!

I still need to add some most-used widgets, and some other fun stuff like cursor effects!

Anyways, that’s it from me, and have a nice rest of your day/night!
