Show HN: I built a modern iGoogle-like new tab extension

Hi HN,

I started this project as a way to control my Philips Hue smart lights from my browser's new tab page, alongside a few quick links I use every day. My browser is always open, so the new tab page felt like the most natural and convenient place to do it.

Over time, I kept adding widgets I found useful, and it now has 40. They range from simple ones like weather, clocks, sticky notes, countdowns, and timers to advanced ones like Google Calendar and Gmail, Spotify controls, RSS feeds, and even an iframe widget.

My Philips Hue widgets still sit in a little corner of my new tab though :)

This has been my longest running side project, and it finally feels polished enough to share here.

I'd love to hear your feedback, ideas, or even critiques, and I hope some of you find it useful.
