Really like the idea and very well done. I think it would be really nice if we could change the widget as well. For example, I don't use Spotify at all so it be replace with other widget.

#13This is wonderful -- only thing missing is a bookmarks tile! Edit: Just saw the readme, maybe I should attempt to add my own!
Oh mate there's tens of tiles I can think of that I still want to add in, just off the top of my head:
- Emails - Quotes of the day - Bookmarks - RSS Feeds - Countdown clocks - GitHub stats
That's what I can rattle off in about 10 seconds of thinking, there's so many things that could be done. At some point you have to just call it a day.

If you include a url to a gif in the background segment it will work:

^ Bit of a loud example that one
I also recommend making all the tiles transparent when you have a nice background:
rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2)

You can! Change the "Tile Type" option in the sidebar

#17Humble New Tab Page is how I solved mine. I don't need any distractions. Just the title and icon of the bookmarks I need.

#19A lot of people are going to arrive on mobile, get turned away, and never come back again. Consider putting together something to give an impression of what you’ve done, or a “Show me anyway, even though it’s not optimized for mobile” button, or even just some screenshots.
I was sidelined sorry, it's all fixed now.
There's a demo video along with a button that will take you through to the less than ideal layout.
