Welcome!
The Idea: Transform the browser new tab into a clean daily focus space directly connected to Microsoft To Do with zero backend
The Idea
New Tab pages are notoriously bloated—filled with algorithmic clickbait news, widgets, and tracking scripts.
Welcome! is built around extreme simplicity:
- Sub-10ms Paint: Lightweight client-side architecture using Svelte 5 and Tailwind CSS v4.
- Daily Focus: Set your single most important intention for the day, marked with subtle celebration confetti upon completion.
- Microsoft To Do Sync: Direct client-side connection via OAuth 2.0 PKCE to Microsoft Graph API. No backend proxy, no monthly database costs, and zero data leaves the browser.
- Ambient Dashboard: Clean 12h/24h clock, personalized time-of-day greeting, live weather, and curated scenic wallpapers.
