verty
I created verty-web, which is a simple and minimalistic homepage designed for the convenience of your Chrome web page. It was challenging getting the overall idea and the JS so far because I had to plan for the clock, the search bar, and the JS since it is not really tolerant like Python and it is very adamant about giving the right code. I am so far proud of the design, especially the API that gives the NASA wallpaper from the APOD. You can visit the website at https://vihaanvinoth.github.io/verty-web/ to test it out, and https://github.com/vihaanvinoth/verty-web/ to download the extension.

Final Devlog: Building verty-web
Ok, now that I have managed to port this custom tab extension to Chrome, it is now up and running on both the site (https://vihaanvinoth.github.io/verty-web) and the extension, and after fixing several bugs with the manifest.json and the API I was able to cleanly create this cool and sleek home tab. I am pretty proud of this and it look really cool on my home tab.
SO, here’s what i’ve done pretty much:
- HTML
- CSS
- JS
- Chrome Extension
- manifest.json
- Published to Github/Github Pages
- Readme
- Yay
So, I guess that’s pretty much it. This was an easy task as I’ve already done stuff like this before (visit https://vihaanvinoth.com; my personal site!) and yeah :D
Now all I got to do is ship this project and I will be able to work on other project ig now!!!!!!!!1!!!

Devlog #1: Building verty-web
Alright, so I’ve had experience in HTML and CSS, and so I decided to begin building this web tab just for the convenience of my desktop and so I can use it in chrome. So far i’ve worked on the HTML, CSS, and JS, components of the project, and I am pivoting towards pushing this to a chrome extension which will allow me to set this as a chrome home tab. Its going really well and I hope to see how it will go pretty soon. This is a pretty rushed devlog because I forgot to make one in the start, so this is just a compilation of the work i’ve done so far.
Here’s some of the stuff i’ve implemented (some from the instructions):
- NASA APOD api for the background
- Clock
- Google Query Search Bar
- Links group
- Timely affirmations
