Absolutely fantastic. I was a big fan of iGoogle and this looks amazing. Going to give it a whirl definitely.
Funny seeing iGoogle mentioned. I have a friend that used to work on iGoogle, but he wasn't very good at JS. He asked me to assist with some code he was working on and I added a little signature comment to indicate that I worked on the code. They put the code into production wholesale and never removed my signature comment. It remained there until they shut it down.
found this a neat concept so I'm giving it a try, first thing i did was add an embedded page to my email, which was not a good idea since it makes the new tab immediately open the web page lol.
Hey, this is pretty cool! I used to love iGoogle back in the day. Great job!
Mind explaining a bit further for those who aren’t familiar with iGoogle?
I've been looking to make my new tab page more useful, so this seems a good excuse :)
I've immediately noted a white flicker when opening a new tab though. This is unfortunately a big issue for me.
I loved the "Stupid walk for stupid mental health" task.
Thanks for the short trip down memory lane by mentioning iGoogle!
I wonder if I've still got some screenshots around from that time.
I've created another open-source project which serves a similar purpose [1]. Unfortunately, I haven't been actively working on it for some time (although still using it daily).
It looks really nice, but I never understood the use case for start pages. Personally I just have "new tab/window" set to a about:blank. Then again I barely use bookmarks. Is start pages something that's an integral part of other people workflow?
This looks great. Does the calendar support CalDav?
I've been using Markdown New Tab for this for years and I'm completely in love with it https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/markdown-new-tab/de...
My current favorite here is start.me but I’ll give this a whirl.
"Privacy Friendly" advertising with a screenshot with a bunch of Google services on it. The irony is hilarious.
Looks cool, but I wish it would let me use the search engine I configured (Kagi) instead of shoving Google down my throat.
This is really cool, I'm definitely going to be using this. I love theming support. Some feedback:
1. The slider for the blur on the custom theme bg image should have some sort of label - I had no idea what it did until I tried it while trying to figure out why all the images I uploaded looked like blurry shit (my fault for picking images with a lot of detail, but hey)
2. For the time widget, there should be a 12-hr time option that omits the AM/PM. I know what half of the day I'm in, and I want the time as big as possible.
3. For that matter, let us resize the clock widget, and the rest of the widgets where feasible (top sites especially)
4. Bug: the iframe widget worked at first and then... just stopped displaying anything for me. Not even an iframe tag in the div. It's a github pages site of my own, so it shouldn't be blocked. (I'm using Edge on Windows 10)
5. If feasible, let us resize the page INSIDE that iframe to make it smaller, or at least hide the scrollbars.
6. A bunch of the substack feeds in the RSS just have "..." for the second (preview?) line. It'd be nice if I could hide those (Or have a mode in between default and "compact", since I want to see authors for each post in the feed)
7. Having humidity on the weather widget would be nice (also maybe default to F/mph if the locale is USA? :P)
8. For tab groups I'd like a (2x2?) grid of the favicons it contains, but I suppose I can use a custom icon for that.
Feature requests aside, this is actually really well put-together in general.
