A new tab page that shows you one quote from Lenny's Podcast every day — 365 of them, one for each day of the year.
Each poster has the quote in big type, the speaker's name and role, and a "Read more" button that unpacks what the quote means, how the guest argues for it, and what you (as a builder) should do about it on Monday morning.
Once the listing is approved, install with a single click. This page will link to it.
- Click Code → Download ZIP above (or
git clone https://github.com/KellyGong0301/builder-quotes.git) - Unzip it to anywhere on your machine
- Open
chrome://extensions/in Chrome / Edge / Brave - Toggle Developer mode (top-right)
- Click Load unpacked and pick the unzipped folder
- Open a new tab — you should see today's builder quote
Chrome 138+ adds a small "Customize Chrome" bar at the bottom of every extension-overridden new tab — it cannot be suppressed by extension code. To hide it for good in your Chrome profile:
- Right-click the bar → Hide footer on New Tab page
- Or open Customize Chrome → toggle off Show footer on New Tab page
This is a per-profile Chrome setting, persistent. Every new-tab extension (Momentum, Daily Builder Quotes, etc.) is subject to the same Chrome behavior.
