## To-do
|
|
|
|
* [x] Multiple Wallpapers
|
|
* [x] Remake icons
|
|
* [] Increase offline compatibility (might not be possible)
|
|
* Use chrome.storage.local for user wallpapers -- this one is
|
|
* Use chrome.storage.local for some logos -- a bit hard
|
|
* Some logos have CORS enabled, we can add `"<all_urls>"` to the manifest.json file and cache them on storage local
|
|
* Dynamic Weather Widget
|
|
* A box with information about the current weather, with manual entry on the location
|
|
* Display current temperature, weather condition (e.g., "Sunny," "Cloudy"), and a corresponding icon
|
|
* Optionally, show a 3-day forecast when clicked or hovered
|
|
* Search Bar Widget
|
|
* Positioned to the right or left side of the clock, display a nice search bar
|
|
* Behaviour:
|
|
* When not in focus, it could be highly transparent with just a faint border and a search icon.
|
|
* When clicked, it would smoothly expand and become slightly more opaque, with a soft glow around the border (similar to the existing ones)
|
|
* Config to allow changing the default search engine
|
|
* Draggable & Resizable Grid System
|
|
* Allow users to drag and drop all widgets (Clock, Website Tiles, Weather, Title, etc.) into any position on a grid
|
|
* Notes / Scratchpad Widget
|
|
* A simple text area that saves its content to local storage automatically.
|
|
* Maybe some extra formatting (bold, italic, increase font size, etc).
|
|
* Theme-ing
|
|
* A Light/Dark Mode toggle
|
|
* Custom Accent Colors
|
|
* Selection of 6-8 accent colors that are guaranteed to look good with both Light and Dark themes
|
|
* Define CSS variables for the accent color
|
|
* Dynamic Wallpaper-Based Theming
|
|
* Automatically adapt the UI's accent color to match the current wallpaper
|
|
* Minimal feel toggle
|
|
* Disable title & subtitle and search widget
|
|
* Tiles become small stylish lines
|
|
|
|
From a technical side:
|
|
* Refactor everything :(
|
|
* Add small nginx demo (with docker)
