Off topic: Thank you for the link to the Custom New Tab addon -- been thinking I wanted something like that in my Firefox but hadn't thought to actually look it up. That addon doesn't seem to work for current Firefox on Android, unfortunately. Btw, your link to the addon in your README makes the page show in Finnish, you might want to change your link to point to the English URL.

#15This looks great. I use something similar* in Chrome for a similar effect. I like that you can make it exactly what you want with your version. * http://momentumdash.com/

#17Excellent! Much better than what I made for personal use, and it's great that you open sourced it. I'll set it up on my local web server and start using it.
Thanks for the feedback! I've had a few prototypes along the years but this was actually something that I figured someone would be interested in. I'll continue to develop this and add customizable user settings etc when I have time
Here's something I made, since your version doesn't work. It's a rip off of your work, but none of the code is taken and the temperature display works. It's much simpler, doesn't use any fancy JS, and is contained in 4 JS files including jquery and the quotes and the config.

#18For the record, you want to edit js/scripts/controllers.js and js/scripts/view/dashboard.html.
Replacing Helsinki in the openweathermap.org link with your plain text city name seems to work.
For Fahrenheit, replace the "var temp" line in controllers.js with:
var temp = Math.round(((parseInt(data.main.temp) - 273.15) * 9/5) + 32, 2) + "°F";
I didn't get the github.io pages working in less than a few minutes, so I just grabbed it locally where it'll probably work faster anyway. Thanks also for the great plugin link. Excellent work Jakke, beautiful typography.Re: Show HN: Custom New Tab page for Firefox
#19But what I'm missing most right now is a license file! Right now it's just copyrighted without giving anyone the permission to copy or modify it. I don't think that's your intention (If you don't want to think about it, the MIT licence is a good choice)

#20As a long time user of Momentum, I like how this looks better. I've never seriously used the "main focus for today" feature.
