About
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
