Self plug: I wanted to have RSS feeds on my browser new tab page along with other widgets, and there weren't that many great options for what I wanted out of a new tab page; so i created my own! https://newtabwidgets.com.
I find the new tab page to be the ideal location for RSS feeds as I can quickly see new updates each time I open a new tab (which is quite frequently!).
I'm building a browser extension that turns your new tab page into a customizable, widget-based dashboard.
It started as a simple way to control my Philips Hue lights from the new tab, but over time it's grown into a daily tool I rely on for:
- Taking quick notes
- Launch bookmarked websites
- Quick weather updates
- Track multiple time zones
- Embed parts of websites using an iframe widget (with CSS selectors to isolate elements)
The goal is to make the new tab genuinely useful tailored to your workflow, not just another homepage clone.
It's still a work in progress, so i'd love feedback from anyone into productivity tools, browser customization, or just building cool UI ideas in the browser.
