Renewed Tab

A clean web browser "New Tab" / "Home page" page, created using TypeScript and React.

License: GPLv3 or later.

Usage

Renewed Tab has 3 components:

A web app, found at src/app. This is written using React, and uses some browser extension APIs when available.
An API/proxy server, found at src/server. This provides various APIs, and allows requests to be proxied to get around CORS. You can also use the production server if you're not changing any APIs.
A webext, found at src/webext. This contains the manifest.json, and will wrap the web app when compiled.

Copy config.example.json to config.json.

(Optional) If you want to run a local API/proxy server, then you will need to:

Change API_URL and PROXY_URL in config.json to localhost:

{
	"API_URL": "http://localhost:8000/api/",
	"PROXY_URL": "http://localhost:8000/proxy/",

	/* other settings here */
}

Configure some API keys if you want to use third-party services. These are optional, but will prevent some features from working.
- The settings:
  - ACCUWEATHER_API_KEY: AccuWeather.com
  - UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY: Unsplash
- You can set the above server settings in config.json, or using environment variables (recommended for production).
You can also change other server settings in config.json:
- PROXY_ALLOWED_HOSTS: Array of allowed host names.

Make sure to run npm install.
