Fluent New Tab DevLog 026

Nothing much done

New features added

• Draggable and rearrangeable Pinned Sites

Fixes

• Encountered an issue in which adjacent Pinned Sites could not be rearranged (I was using a splice system) so I fixed it by using the good ol’ simple swap system
• Since I was using the splice system I also encountered a bug which deleted every item I tried to rearrange
• The splice system also broke the Pinned site, so I fixed it by changing some variable names

Current issues/bugs

• You cannot just drag an item and drop it in the general direction of another item; you have to drop it on the other item for it to swap places.
• There are still no animations for Widgets or Pinned Sites rearrangement

Note

• Recent Sites won’t be rearrangeable, it’ll be ordered according to the last site you visited
• Every error/dialog box in the site uses alert to show their dialog boxes, so if you can’t add a new Pinned Site, it might be your browser because as of now, the extension works almost flawlessly on MS Edge, Chrome/Chromium and Brave

Video Description

• The video with the single tab open is using the splice system so there’s the issue from earlier that can be seen (added it to show how the bug looked like)
• The video with 2 tabs open is using the swap system so there’s no issues in there
