TurtleTab is a Google Chrome Extension Built with React. It creates a new homepage which features current Weather, Todo and Notes functionality. It also accesses your browser data to see Bookmarks, enable/disable Apps and Extensions, and see/clear your History. It is a collaborative effort by a remote team of aspiring developers who met on Chingu, an international community of coders.

A few of the things you can do with this Google Chrome Extension:

• Google Search from the Home Page
• See your current weather and search for other locations
• Keep reminders for yourself with the Notes and Todo features
• See your bookmarks and quickly open new links
• Enable / Disable Chrome Apps and Extensions
• See and Clear your browser history
• Cycle through backgrounds with the click of the Turtle Icon (bottom-right)
