Bring helvetictoc into your chrome new tab page

Helvetictoc New Tab

===============

A time-full tribute to a timeless typeface in your new tab page.

I always loved this site so I figured I would turn this into something I could see every time I opened a new tab in Chrome.

I also removed all the references to Ruby Make since the JS has been stable for 12 years. Feel free to fork this and mess with the fonts and background.

Orignal README

---

helvetictoc is my entry to the 10K apart contest.

It displays humanized time set in Helvetica.

Technical details:

helvetictoc doesn't rely on any external scripts.

It's however using CommonJS modules which are concatenated using modulr.

The JS source files (the modules) are found in src and concatenated to js/main.js.

This hopefully proves proper code organisation doesn't trump file size: the included modulr JS script is just above 3kb before minification.

The src code is available on github.

Use prefersColorScheme to Set Theme

The code currently uses its own functions isDay and isNight to set the theme. Should probably change this to set the color scheme the way most modern browsers do.
