What Is Meteor New Tab? Product Intro and Soul
Hello everyone, we are the Mixcm team. We are honored to win third place in the first Microsoft Edge Extension Contest! I am the only member of the team. My friends call me Zheying Qingmeng or Nexmoe. My slogan is: “Fighting for what I love, and learning to be brave.”
Product Introduction
Our product is called Meteor New Tab, and its purpose matches its slogan - make your bookmarks great again. In the post-pandemic era, more people study and work online. Users search online for all kinds of “good resources” and like to bookmark relevant pages. Over time, the speed of bookmarking far exceeds the speed of learning, making pages hard to manage and retrieval very time-consuming. Many high-quality resources are buried at the bottom and never opened again.
We built this product to help users revive long-neglected bookmarks. It can automatically organize your bookmarks into tabs so everything is clear at a glance.
The Soul of the Product
We listen to users. The soul of a product comes from the creator and from users. One user praised Meteor New Tab as forward-thinking and said: “Instead of drifting in the information stream, it’s better to ruminate on high-quality content you’ve saved.” Meteor New Tab goes against the times. We stop exhausting you with endless new things in the feed, and instead let you revisit high-quality content you’ve already saved to spark new thoughts and inspiration.
Another user said: “Awesome. I really don’t want a flashy dial page. I just want to import links quickly and generate simple icons.” Sometimes we need to think about what truly matters to us. What we care about and love has already been saved in our bookmarks. Meteor New Tab is about helping us refocus on ourselves.
Many other comments and feedback have helped us improve the product. Meteor New Tab has gained more and more “soul,” and we are very grateful for that support.

Use Software Engineering to Build Better Products
We use an incremental development model. It’s suitable for a one-person team like ours. We try our best to pay attention to every user feedback and need, and strictly manage and discuss them before making decisions. We’ll make Meteor New Tab closer to perfection.
We also keep learning and improving, adopting the latest technologies. We reference DevOps principles to automate development, testing, operations, and deployment. This makes the product more stable and reduces developer workload, maximizing efficiency. We use GitHub’s latest features for version control; use Issues and Projects for requirement management; use GitHub Actions for automatic build and release. We minimize human involvement to make development more efficient.
