hey everyone! i just made a new project, OPEN-TAB! its a tab design thats meant to replace the boring plain new tab that most browsers have, with a sleek minimalist tab!
the design uses a glassmorphism (a new word i learnt today) UI over a dark background for a simple easy to use look. it features a real-time calendar and clock grid, a direct web search bar, and shortcut links to github, youtube, Nasa, and reddit, and a NASA widget featuring APOD (a picture of the day) on the bottom which shows a new picture from Nasa every single day!
i definitely ran into a few headaches while building this. i had some issues with making the main logo spin smoothly, and there were a ton of css transform bugs breaking the hover and glow effects on my widgets. getting the nasa api widget to pull the daily astronomy picture and link properly was also a bit tricky, but i managed to work through all of it (with a little bit of help from ai) to get the layout perfectly stable and tactile.
im proud of how clean this turned out :)
i made a relatively small project, so i will all fit in this one devlog. i made this new website today called OPEN-TAB! basically, the new tabs of most browsers are boring, so this is a minimalist new tab which looks better than those boring tabs with smooth animations and easy access to popular websites!
