Hey OzBargain, long time lurker first time poster. I wanted to share with you all a Chrome extension i've been working on on the side for the past 5 years. Lots of love has been put into it as it was built for myself to make my new tab start page a bit more customizable, initially to control my Philip Hue lights. It's become a lot more than that now somehow, I didn't think i'd sink as much hours into it as I have when I first started it, and 5 years later i'm really proud of it and decided to see if I can turn it in to something bigger this year :)
Main notable features:
- OzBargain feed widget (front page deals for now, but looking to make it more customizable)
- FuelWatch fuel price widgets for Perth
- Control Philips Hue lights (scene widget, group widget)
- turn any website content in to widgets via an iframe and select only the info you want to display (check out the demo, i make an Australian open match schedule widget and a crypto price widget from binance)
- weather forecasts, bookmark links, world clocks, Spotify playback control, sticky notes, Google Calendar widget and heaps more
No email is required for free users and you can use the extension straight away after installing from the Chrome web store. Free users can create up to 3 pages, and up to 25 widgets.
There is an optional 5 USD subscription to unlock unlimited pages, unlimited widgets and cloud syncing though not required to get started and for most people the free tier is plenty.
Hope it comes in handy for many of you as much as it's come in handy for me.
@mods i tried filling in the store domain field but i get a "Store does not exist in database" error
Looks extremely useful! Will boot up Chrome and check it out. Unfortunately I'm pretty well sold on Firefox these days and not too keen on Chrome.
I've been using a plugin called Tabliss which allows some customisation of the "start page" but nothing this serious and useful.
