We open a new tab dozens of times every day. We built this extension to make those moments a little more beautiful and inspiring, and hopefully help us think and build better.
It showcases evocative visual thinking, a curated collection of paintings, and tweet-style quotes from history’s brightest minds.
Some details
More than 200 works and growing, with 80% devoted to ideas and quotations and 20% to timeless art.
Every new tab fades in softly, adding a refined touch to the experience.
You’ll receive new content without needing to update.
Click anywhere on the page to see new pieces, like advancing slides in a presentation.

Would you have any ideas to improve it or suggest additional content formats?
Thanks!
@jlantunez Hi Jose, I love this. Congrats on the launch. This is so much better than a blank page or a feed that's stuffed with junk, Open sourcing as well........Salute.

@zolani_matebese Thanks, Zolani. It's nice to have a bit of beauty and inspiration in your day.
Love that it’s minimal and focused on inspiration without the usual noise of bookmarks or widgets. Perfect for keeping that creative spark alive between client calls and code reviews ahahah
Quick question: How often does the artwork/quote rotate? Is it daily, per new tab, or customizable?
WebSlides
@cathcorm Thanks, Catherine. We add new content almost daily. The collection now includes more than 220 pieces, about 20% of which are paintings. Because the rotation is fully random, you might see the same piece several times in a day, while others won’t show up again for days. Currently, the type of content you see is not customizable. It makes sense that you should be able to choose. Thank you.
@jlantunez i've added your plugin to Chrome and enjoy it so much already!! thank you for your answer José :)

@curiouskitty We don’t have solid behavioral data yet. We’d love it if people shared quotes or screenshots on social media. The suggestion we hear most often is giving users control over the type of content they see.
congrats on the launch! I love this idea, feels very useful and meaningful. motivational quote or a piece of art could be really helpful midwork. great, I wish you all the best with it!

@yellow_yetti Thanks, Vera :)
I love it.
But one thing that cannot find my bookmarks in new tab with this.
So i think it would be better to show bookmarks for clicking skip or disappearing automatically.
I love the design! It would be even better with Chinese support. While the implementation seems straightforward, the creativity is what really makes it stand out.
Perfect for zoning out.

@daliuai Thanks, leo.
As a solo dev building a desktop app, I deeply respect the discipline it takes to ship something this minimal. Most of us clutter our UIs out of fear users won’t “get it.”
But here’s a thought: what if the absence of bookmarks is the feature? A tiny moment of intentional disconnection before diving back into work.
That said — maybe a subtle “skip” button (like a small ⏭️ in the corner) could satisfy both worlds: beauty for those who want it, utility for those who need it.
Either way — bravo. This is digital craftsmanship.

@gorkyed Thank you, Edvard. We’ll think about it.
