Spiritual Browser Galaxy Theme Extension

Overview

A Manifest V3 Chrome extension that replaces the default New Tab page with a calm, spiritual experience — a centered mantra/shlok over an animated cosmic particle background. Lightweight by design: no backend, no analytics, no tracking.

What I Built

• New Tab override via chrome_url_overrides
• Animated canvas particle background with interactive line connections between particles
• Hamburger sidebar with a selectable mantra list and active-state highlighting
• Multi-line mantra rendering with controlled layout
• Preference persistence via chrome.storage.local (with a safe fallback)
• Tested with Jest + jsdom, and packaged for the Chrome Web Store

Use Case

A distraction-free, peaceful new-tab page for anyone who wants a moment of calm and intention every time they open a browser tab — fully local and private.
