A better New Tab Page with sleek google design and useful features
Exciting times, When you are able to meet people on the internet (thanks reddit) to collaborate and produce something cool.
Let me introduce you to Casey Labatt Simon who kindly made the icon for Cardboard. A Material re-design was needed and here is the result.
He also made the artworks for the Chrome Web Store listing to promote the extension. This is inspired from Google's own artworks for its Play Store apps.
Again a big thank to him. you can find more of his work here: http://www.caseyls.com
I decided to put the initial extension file online for people who feels nostalgic ;)
Wheee, It's been a few rushing weeks since I saw people gathering interest in a better new tab page ! But finally the makeover is good enough to be called v2.
There is still some improvements to be made (and they will be). Noticeably missing is the ability to re-order cards. It was way more complicated than I though. The ground work for it is set, but I depend on other developer's works. (ie. angular-packery) to properly implement this feature.
Anyway, let's enjoy what we already have shall we ?
Life is also better for us, developers:
This version shows what the Material re-design will look like. It's not bug-free nor it has all the features for the final release. Among others, it misses performance optimisations (minification, bundling...), an onboarding screen, a changelog card, design tweaks.
