Devlog #1

I am officially starting my next project! In this project, I am planning to make a dynamic page that will show up when I open a new tab, replacing the regular GOOGLE one. For the first iteration, I am planning on making a simple page that has a large greeting text on it, but it’s background color will change depending on the time of day. I will probably change some stuff after that, but that’s the plan right now for my first ship so I can complete the mission.

Current Progress

So I started with the bare minimum. Because the site for now will not have much content on it, the HTML was pretty simple. I added a h1 tag with my title in it, and I decided that I will add buttons as shortcuts for some links that I use everyday. So I just added some icons that are linked to the sites. I also started with some super basic CSS, like just reseting margins, and starting to change the background color. It looks kinda bad right now, but I will make it look better.

Next Steps

My next steps are just to style it so it actually looks like a new tab page. I am not planning to add a search bar in there, because I don’t use the middle search bar, I only use the one on top, so I don’t want to take up unneccessary space. I want to finish styling in CSS before moving onto JS to set the dynamic changes.

Below is a image of the very rough draft with the icons, labels, and title. (It looks bad right now, but it will look better in the next devlog.)
