# Newlogy

[Featured on The Lasso!](https://meridianlasso.org/9883/features/erik-boesen-masons-tech-guru)

Newlogy enhances the [Schoology](https://schoology.com) Learning Management System interface by cleaning up graphical styling, hiding some unnecessary user interface elements, and adding new useful features.

[Install from the Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/newlogy/bjcabjilfhmoahlpkffklacegnndmbbb)

If on another browser, simply sideload this extension in developer mode.

Please open an issue if you notice any inconsistencies or opportunities to improve the Schoology interface!

## Goals

* Unify design

* Remove extraneous and redundant UI elements

* Simplify design language

## Changes

* Replace school logo with a simple "Home" link

* Remove "RECENT ACTIVITY" and "COURSE DASHBOARD" tabs

* Display course and group menus as a list again, not as a grid

* Use normal capitalization for header tabs to match rest of interface

* Disable school-colored links to match blue color scheme

* Replace blurry smiley faces next to like buttons with thumbs-up emoji

* Use consistent text coloring

* Conform better to new modern design language

* Add flag emoji next to language selection, just for fun

* Remove logged-in user's name from header

* Literally hundreds of other graphical tweaks
