Ship #1

Introducing MAK TAB!
A New Tab page for you Web Browser that is NASA-Inspired and has all the stuff you need. Includes a Calculator Too! I Tried to make it a complete-replacement for your New Tab. It is followed with the guide but before the styling. Styling uses Bootstrap for extreme responsiveness and yes it fits on a smartwatch screen too(320x320). You can search on google all you want whenever you like! It can also store upto 5 website shortcuts. It also displays local time, and local weather using postal code. I needed AI to learn two things, a weather system and how to use localStorage in JS. I am very proud that i know JS much more than befor and i now also know how to store items in local storage in JS. But above all, i first time used a Framework(vite) rather than plain html+css+js website! I also learned how websites handle api keys! The most difficult part for me was the "Weather" i spent most of the time on that, fixing errors but now it works smoothly! The NASA Image refreshes everyday and all its INFO is visible upon pressing the "NASA Image Info" button. All other tools, settings are visible upon pressing "Tools" Button. There is also 1 AOS Fade-down animation.
Try it now!

MAK-Tab is almost complete! ✨

(Hopefully last devlog before ship!)

MAK Tab, your new browser new-tab, is on its way to last Devlog! I added much more working features to make it work seamlessly as your new-tab replacement. I kept running into errors in JS for functions but most of them were typos. I also accidentally corrupted my git repo by doing commit without adding “-m” but now it is fixed.

Key Features Added✅:

Working Local Time Clock
Working local weather temperature (requires location permission)
Calculator in the Tools Box (triggered with the Tools Button)
NASA image description hidden until the button is clicked.

Next Goals🎯:

Make the Shortcut link editor work and add more shortcut buttons
Think to add some more things in toolbox (ideas in comments are welcome)
Implement use of Cookies to save the URL links and also to remember that location permission is already given (now everytime browser restarts, it asks for location again)

Please give me some recommendations and also some ideas for things in toolbox in the comments!
