One day, I installed a new Linux distro, and the default Firefox browser gave me a shiny white blank page. It’s like my new tab was an empty canvas, but I didn’t want to just look at it forever. I wanted to make it mine. After months of ignoring it, I said no more and Tabendar was born. Your new tab, your vibe, your productivity, ... whatever PRs are welcomed!
No tracking. No bloat. Just your space, your way.
Tabendar is my love letter to everyone who wants their tools to feel like home. it's about creating a digital space that makes you smile when you Ctrl+T.
Make it weird. Make it wonderful. Make it yours.
Now go stick some anime cats on your GitHub stats.
