## Description

The Developer Theme — a new tab built for people who live in the terminal.

Turn every new tab into a productivity dashboard instead of a blank page. Track your day with a built-in to-do list, watch your GitHub contribution heatmap glow green, catch the weather at a glance, and jump straight to your favorite sites with one-click shortcuts — YouTube, Gmail, GitHub, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and anything else you add.

Feeling curious? A fresh "Question of the Tab" keeps your brain warm between builds.

Make it yours: switch accent colors, resize fonts, upload your own wallpaper or let a curated rotation surface a new one every tab — smoothly blurred in, never a jarring flash. Every setting lives entirely in your browser; nothing is ever sent anywhere.

Highlights:

📋 Quick-add to-do list
🐙 Live GitHub activity heatmap
☁ Weather, auto-located or set manually
🧠 Bite-sized trivia questions
🔗 Customizable shortcut bar with auto-fetched icons
🎨 Custom accent color, font size, and wallpaper blur
🖼 Seamless, flash-free wallpaper transitions
🔒 100% local — no data collection, ever
