Devlog - QuickTab
I renamed the project from ‘New Tab’ to ‘QuickTab’ to give it a more unique name. I also rewrote the README because the first one was written using AI since I wasn’t aware I had to write it myself.
The project runs live on github pages and you can download the index.html file and double click it to run it locally.

Devlog – My Custom New Tab Page
So I made this custom new tab page for the Hackclub challenge. It’s basically a new tab page with shortcuts for easy access to stuff like Google, YouTube, Gmail, and GitHub.
First I set up the HTML – just the basic layout. I added a big “Search” heading at the top, a clock that shows the time, a search bar, shortcut buttons, and a to-do list section.
Then I worked on the CSS to make it look clean. CSS was used for the Styling & Dark Mode Theme.
For the JavaScript, I made the clock update every second so it actually shows the current time. I got the search bar working too. If you type something in, it searches Google, but if you paste a URL, it just goes straight to that site. The to-do list was the main feature. You can add tasks and delete them when you’re done. I used localStorage to save everything, which means if you close the tab and come back later, your tasks are still there.
After I got everything working on my computer, I pushed it all to GitHub and used GitHub Pages to get a live link so anyone can see it.

Thanks for your time.
I just finished building the entire core gameplay loop. Here is what is currently made:
Lobby & Match Loop: Players wait in the lobby until enough people join, which automatically starts a countdown to the round.
Round Manager: A server script that handles health resets, cleans up old items, teleports players, and watches the match until only one survivor is left to give the win.
Map Spawner: The game automatically picks a random map, loads it in for the round, and destroys it when the match ends.
Weapon Wheel: A custom UI animation that spins through common, rare, epic, legendary, and mythic items, then gives the player the exact weapon they rolled. (Weapons have not been added yet)
Sprint System: A working sprint mechanic with a stamina bar UI so players can track their remaining energy.
Music Toggle: Background tracks that change automatically between the lobby and the arena, plus a working mute button.
The Wheel was created by AI, but I will create one after most of the game is done. The current one there is just a demo for now. I would really appreciate feedback on how I could improve the game further.
