Description

Please note that submitting feedback on the Chrome Web Store doesn't notify the developer, so it may be a while before your message is found here. If you want to report a problem, please use the GitHub issue tracker: https://github.com/Terrance/Homely --- Homely is a fast and light New Tab page replacement, with a focus on providing quick access to links, bookmarks and history from a centralised location. The main links page can be built up using a number of blocks, containing simple button shortcuts, or dropdown menus with rich collections of links. Editing the page can be done visually with the built-in editor, or coded manually in JSON. A lightweight bookmarks browser is included, providing fast navigation through all folders in the bookmarks tree. A history dropdown in the top corner shows recently accessed pages for quick retrieval. The settings panel provides a number of options for tweaking the page, including custom backgrounds and fonts, enabling/disabling features, and adding custom CSS code. --- v1.8.0 (16/02/2024): * updated to satisfy Chrome's upcoming Manifest v3 requirement * added Trello as a notification provider v1.7.2 (29/04/2019): * fixes for file:// and chrome:// URLs * added Twitter as a notification provider * fixed long text wrapping on link buttons * codebase compatibility with Firefox WebExtensions v1.7.1 (16/07/2016): * updated retrieval of Facebook notifications * slightly better icon choices * improved colour picker for buttons v1.7 (30/12/2015): * new shopping cart counter * initial support for Amazon, eBay, Steam * minor UI improvements v1.6 (17/10/2015): * invitations notification for LinkedIn * added dark panel style * custom link button CSS option * disable weather whilst incognito v1.5.4 (17/08/2015): * fix Steam notifications for website changes v1.5.3 (02/08/2015): * added LinkedIn to notifications * split Steam notifications by type * fix for timer label display v1.5.2 (09/10/2014): * easier settings import/export * use official Reddit SSL domain * weather unit option v1.5.1 (22/05/2014): * fixed links merging with defaults * slightly improved help text * notepad save status indicator v1.5 (21/05/2014): * all permissions now optional * added Reddit to notifications * additional keyboard shortcuts * minor visual/UI tweaks v1.4.1 (25/04/2014): * Chrome apps menu * hide top bar labels * fixed bugs with notepad and timer v1.4 (24/04/2014): * weather widget * notepad widget * bookmarks search * links editing improvements v1.3 (02/04/2014): * clock, timer and stopwatch options * rewritten notifications system * added TickTick to notifications * middle-click bookmarks folders to open all v1.2.1 (31/03/2014): * fixed bugs when cancelling after revoking permissions v1.2 (31/03/2014): * switch to Chrome extension storage * omnibox link search * notification widget (Facebook, GitHub, Gmail, Outlook) * IP address / proxy status widget * more layout and style options v1.1 (28/03/2014): * drag-and-drop block reordering * bookmark grouping * keyboard shortcuts * icons everywhere v1.0 (26/03/2014): * customizable links page * visual and JSON links editors * lightweight bookmarks browser * quick history access * custom backgrounds, fonts * custom CSS editor Full changelog: http://git.io/sxNmvw

Updated: It's gone again. I really love the thing, when it exists. I really just don't get why sometimes, it just disappears. If it doesn't come back I'll just leave it behind because it takes a lot of time setting up, and obviously if it isn't there it can't make up for it. Not to mention the frustration level. Amended: I was an angry, in-need-of-coffee technophobe. This is really great and I figured it out, eventually. It does realistically save me a half hour a day, so I'm a massive fan!! I take back all the mean things I said, and I appologize to the dev. GREAT WORK ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I got the extension. LOVED IT. Took a LOT of time setting it up. Time consuming but hey, its going to save me so much more time! Then, it stopped working and just takes me to github whatever the f@ck that is. Maybe I'm missing somehting? When I first got it I thought it was awesome. I will def update this review if it gets sorted out. This is what I get from the app. https://github.com/OllieTerrance/Homely It serves as a bookmark to this page.
