If you're not into javascript and git, you will probably want to use the above link to download the latest release from the Chrome Web Store.
Awesome New Tab Page is my attempt at making a more awesome new tab page for Google Chrome.
It's more like a home screen on an Android phone or a Windows 8 start menu. By that I mean that instead of just icons and bookmarks, you can have some very dynamic widgets that are always ready to show something useful. From the weather to the news, your awesome new tab page is what you make it. Customize and expand it as you choose.
Well, I'd appreciate it if you posted it here: voice.newtabpage.org
However, you can also contact me directly through Google Voice: h4r7.me
Until I can manage the time to write better documentation, please refer to this sample widget: Awesome New Tab Page Shell / Example Widget
Widgets are packaged within Chrome extensions (either exclusively or bundled in a pre-existing extension) and are added to the widgets menu for users to add to their new tab page.
If you have any questions, please email me from here: h4r7.me.
GNU General Public License version 3
Everyone who is willing to agree to allow me to publish submitted code under the GPL v3 or future licenses. This ensures both of us (and anyone else) can use it so long as it always remains under the same license.
I'm not a lawyer (and of course can not provide legal advice, so take this with a grain of salt), but I do not believe widgets need to be as they are separate "programs" (packaged and installed separately). However, I do recommend that all widgets be GPL v3+ licensed. However, in simplest terms: no.
This is, of course, unless you include something GPL licensed in your code (jQuery here being excluded, as it is dual licensed MIT and GPL).
